Hi first time poster and new to quads and rc aircraft as well.
I recently picked up a second hand (possibly third hand ) Phantom one as I wanted to take making videos and taking pictures a little further. I got my hands on a Phantom one with ( fairly sure its an early version 2.4ghz ) with a china gimbal already fitted and stuck my go pro on it. I managed to crash it pretty quick and broke a set of 9" props and am now back to the stock 8" props, but hey I was going to crash it eventually !!
I was looking at adding a dual battery tray to improve flight time but am worried about the weight. Should I source a new set of 9" props and what kind of weight can it handle ? and what kind of flight time can I expect ? I also picked up a 2800mah battery and was thinking of sticking to those from now on possibly in a dual set up.
I also noticed that the power lead in the phantom is slightly frayed and could do with being replaced. Its not a major issue and some tape has temporarily solved it but I want a more permanent solution. whats the best way to go about this ?
I'm mainly just looking for easy flights I wont be pushing this thing to the limits or flying it hard I just want to try some aerial photography ! So flight stability and extended flight times are my man focus.
Thanks in advance !
