    Looking for a cheap alternative to a go-pro

    Thanks guys. I have the gopro 3 White, which is the most basic model. I don't believe I can change the fov on this model, at least not for photo capture. I'll have a look at the sj4000.....or maybe trade in for a gopro 3 black. Cheers.

    Compatible battery question from a newbie

    Hi all. I just flew my Phantom 1 for the first time today. Very cool. Does it have to be a LIPO battery installed ? A friend if mine has these batteries like these going spare that I could have. Will they work if the connector is the right shape or does it HAVE to be LIPO ...
