I got a Phantom 2 version 2 for Christmas and with the cold weather I haven't flown it yet. It's finally getting nice I'm ready to try it out, but very nervous about all the firmware and smart battery stuff I've read. So what should I do just charge it up and take it out or should I do updates...

great tips

Thanks for the reply!

Yes the video output board that connects with the USB plug. That's the one I'm wondering if it's necessary since I'm not doing FPV or anything like that. I did install the anti-interference board inside the Phantom.

Sounds like you know these pretty good. I just watched a few videos with a open mount and a hero 1 I get really close to 9 min or just under. With my hero 3+ and waterproof case it's really close to 8. Thanks for the reply's.

Where is the best place to get it from? Hobbyking has it for $116.99? I know I'll need to modify the legs to make it taller, and figure out a mounting bracket, but other then that is that all I need? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... oller.html

Thanks for the fast reply.

So I've never seen a yellow light on mine only green, and red. When I do the compass calibration it's red, or when I fly it in attitude mode it flashes red. When I fly it in gps mode it's fine because it flashes green then when the battery is low it go's red, but in attitude mode I've been...

I'm brand new to this hobby. I've got a all stock 1.1.1 phantom that's getting about 8 mins of flight time. I want to install a Tarot gimbal about how much less fight time can I expect keeping it all stock?
