I also wanted to have the stick to self centre on the left. I have a t8fg 14ch and couldn't find much information on the conversion. So I took it apart and identified that all you have to do is swap the self centring mechanisms over from right to left. There are 3 main things to swap, the lever...

Been through Japan recently and New Zealand, no problems as long as your lipos are in a fire safe bag in your travel on luggage. I have the phantom in it's case and a small backpack with laptop and camera gear.

A movie I put together using the adobe creative cloud apps. Some good footage at the start using the phantom then it is mostly gopro pole footage filmed from a tube. There is a stacks/crashes section near the end in which I managed to utilise the beam effect in after effects to enhance some of...

I can't go back to stock after using the properly balanced tri blades. They are quieter, faster with more lift and flying time.

He does it because he feeds on the responses. That's what all trolls do. I must admit I laughed when he revealed himself. I don't understand how someone can get enjoyment out of being so petulant. Best thing to do is ignore him and report any anti social behaviour. There are plenty of guys here...

Yeah, the options are plentiful with the hex. Let me know how you go, I do a lot of flying over water for shooting wakeboarding so ni will be getting a kit shortly. I built my friend a hex a couple of weeks ago and it was very easy to put together. I like the pure fact that if a motor goes...

Yes it is possible, and the stability should be quite relative if the motors and props are balanced. I would keep the phantom and buy a kit with naza v2 and gps. You can get most of the gear for under a $1000- as long as you have an aftermarket transmitter (futaba, dx8). The portability of the...

When I bought my gear the goggles came with an rx and stock antenna but I had to buy the battery and vtx and I also upgraded my antennae to ibcrazy blue beam clovers. Immersionrc vtx works well with the fat shark systems. There is a video and ground cable on the immrc vtx and the osd, I just...

Cheers Martcerv! I don't really need the gopro osd, gopro gets charged after every flight and I always know the mode I want to shoot in. If I disable the gopro osd do you know if it will stop the goggles blinking in time lapse when your taking photo's. I don't really want to lose that ability...

I installed the mini iosd a couple of days ago, reached 23 ms with slight wind. I now have iosd, gcu, pmu, futaba receiver and the naza all crammed in my phantom like a tin of sardines (trust me, it ain't pretty but functioning well). I personally love the home point function, you always know...

I was a bit overwhelmed at first, just keep practicing, you will progress until it becomes normal.

the latest edition of gopro studio has a fish eye removal function. I shoot in medium 1080 sometimes to avoid this. The options the other guys talked about will get you a better results, but this is a way to remove the fish eye without having to buy any more programs.

Colin Guinn is the Sham-wow part of the dji corp. He does it well just like the sham wow guy ;)

Also really enjoyed the experience of building and bettering something that flies! I have never been into electronics or rc gear until one day when I popped down to my local camera shop to get a gopro and walked out with a phantom and gopro. Has been a very sharp learning experience over the...

I run the blue beams and have been to about 1km with no problems. I haven't pushed it as far as it can go but i'm sure martcerv will find that out before me. Got a mini osd on the way and hoping it will work with the 600mw immersion vtx. Can't seem to find much related to installing the mini osd...
