Hi everyone!
I'm new here and have spent many, many hours scouring over quadcopter videos, reviews and this amazing forum over the past 24 hours. I live in the pacific northwest and would love to buy a Phantom and take it on various mountain hikes. How feasible is this?
The Phantom 2 Vision+ is the one I'm interested in. The primary thing preventing me from making a purchase is that it doesn't seem to "fold up small" or I haven't really seen any small travel cases for it. All backpacks and suitcases seems gigantic and super crazy thick! Is this because the gimbal and/or legs can't/shouldn't be removed?
Normally on a 4-hour round-trip hike I'd only take my small camelbak backpack with water and snacks. I'm trying to figure out how best to carry that and a Phantom. Carrying the quadcopter by hand the entire way would be tiring and one accidental trip and I could crush it!
Any ideas of a thinner case or carrying method I maybe haven't seen? Thanks guys!
Joe
