I can't believe the number of flyways and battery issues I have been reading about.
I was all excited about purchasing one of the phantom 2's with the gimble and getting a go pro 3+ to put on it.
After spending many hours reading about fly aways and battery issues, I can't stomach the thought of watching $1,400 worth of equipment be destroyed or be unrecoverable.
Couple thoughts that might help:
-add a smaller second battery as backup so if main battery or contacts fail it takes over and notifies user to fly it back home or flies home automatically
-change the gopro gimble so that the gopro can fit into it with the protective case on. At least if you crash or go into water hopefully your $400 camera would then survive.
I want to purchase one of these but just can't until the issues with them have been ironed out
