It was a gorgeous weekend here in the Pacific northwest, so I headed up to the mountains for a hike. I also took my Phantom, which I simply strap to my day-pack, and put all the gear inside.

I must have passed about two dozen groups on the trail, and at least half of them asked - "what's that on your backpack?". When I explained, they ALL responded with "that's so cool" or something similar. One guy was so intrigued he asked me to stop so he could take a photo of the Phantom. It was nice to have so many positive responses to the Phantom.

Here's a photo of the setup, and a screen capture from the video.

Funny you should say that. When I started up the Phantom and turned on the GoPro, I saw a "NO SD Card" error message. "Nooooo!!!". It was actually there - all I had to do was pull out the card and re-insert it. But for a moment there....

The "NO SD Card" error generally only pops up for 3-5 seconds for me and the goes away and all is fine.

I have a slim Dakine Mt biking bag that I strap my phantom too and go hiking. So light and easy to quickly pull it off and spin on some props, your in the air within minutes.
