    Where do you mount a GTU 10.

    I use the simensays foldable landing gear, and mount the GTU10 on the utility rails.

    Cheaper GPS Tracker Alternative to the Garmin GTU 10?

    I have the GTU10, and always fly with it. Definitely makes me worry less about loosing my Phantom. I just wish it was smaller/lighter. Anybody here tried taking apart the GTU10 and removing the electronics from the outer shell?

    Flew Away in GPS

    Well, after my (so far one-and-only) Phantom fly-away experience where the Phantom landed just a few feet from a playground full of kids, the more safety protection, the better.

    Flew Away in GPS

    I wanted the extra protection that the supplied "cord" is supposed to provide, but opted to use zip-ties instead. Here's a pic of my setup.

    My first VIDEO with the Zenmuse H3-2D

    The rocking might be due to being in GPS mode. Or, perhaps I just need more practice keeping it steady.

    Show off your CUSTOM, MODIFIED, TRICKED OUT Phantoms

    The legs are adjustable. With the way I have them set now, I don't see them at all in the video, even when recording on "wide". I have them spread wider in the front than in the back (not parallel). I've made my skids longer than I originally planned (mostly in the back), and that seems to help...

    My fly-away story (FPV transmitter caused?)

    Had my first Phantom fly-away experience today after dozens of successful flights without incident. That is a terrifying and somewhat traumatic experience to watch my $1000+ craft/camera fly off out of my sight (towards a park full of people!), with me standing there worrying what kind of...

    For those who have ordered the Zenmuse Gimbal

    This is what I read in the Phantom thread on RCG mult-rotor forum: So, that's contrary to what was mentioned above about the need for a new LED/USB unit when connecting Zenmuse Hero to a Phantom. Not sure who's correct here. Anybody else know if this is something I still need to buy (on top...

    For those who have ordered the Zenmuse Gimbal
