You may want to stay away from UAVProducts (http://www.uavproducts.com). Worst customer service I have experienced with any of the RC companies (Purchased products from about 15 companies so far with this hobby). I bought the Phantom 2 from Robert late last year and had a $150 rebate code from...

I'm in North Yorks. :-)

I would fly with "Aces High" from Iron Maiden. :-)

To improve your Phantom's battery life, you could fit a helium balloon big enough to loft your Phantom to 6000/11000 feet (Heck why stop there?) to give yourself enough juice to get back ... LOL!. You can trigger a cutter remotely to sever the balloon once up to your desired altitude and then...

... anything special? Uh ... box it up and send it to me? :-) Seriously though, make sure you update (http://www.dji.com/download/phantom-2-vision-downloads/) to the latest firmware and have a great time with it. You will love it!

I bought a DIY landing gear kit from Simonsays for my Phantom v1, but I would imagine it might work with the Vision as long as the Vision has the same landing gear screw hole dimensions as the Phantom v1. If standard Phantom V1 landing gear would work on the Vision then I would think this...

This looks like the page: http://www.rcmanchild.com/rcmc-phantom-gimbal.html. The gimbal chassis looks a bit rough like it just came out of a 3D printer, but hats off to him for his ability to design this stuff. The price is too expensive, though.

Where did you clip on the compass?

I sure hope the batteries are cheap and reliable.

The Phantom Menace is the next version ... Just kidding. Maybe it should be. :-) I keep hearing about a Phantom II, but not confirmed as of yet I think. I was thinking of picking up an F450 or F550 as a next step. Lots of deals at the moment with the with F450/F550 ARF, Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal...

Thanks, martcerv. Its very interesting about the quality of v2. I agree that the DJI gimbal isn't worthy of a premium product label and there are other gimbals out there at a much lower price that seem to integrate well with the DJI products and seem to be much more reliable. Oh well I had...

Thanks, lilwheat. Best of luck with your gimbal. Will keep an eye out for your experience with it. Thanks again.

Thanks lilwheat, how is it working out for you with the Zenmuse H3-2D? Who did you buy yours from? Thanks.

Hmmm ... I've started noticing a number of websites start offering the Zenmuse H3-2D + NazaM v2/GPS receiver for the same price of the Zenmuse H3-2D alone ($699) and equivalent in the UK accounting for exchange rate. While it sounds like a compelling deal knowing how much the NazaM v2 kit...
