    Playing with the Gimbal and my angry dogs

    Was out playing with the tilt on my gimbal (just installed a knob to control it.) I noticed the dogs were going nuts. so here is the video of them. Still working on my camera skills though. FYI the breed is Belgian Malinois, they are both rescue. http://youtu.be/kuWAqtX_SKU

    Cheap Ebay Gimbal ... My experience

    I got mine from someone in the USA emilyandgilly was the name. I looks and they don't have any listed right now. If you search DJI Phantom Gimbal or GoPro Gimbal you will find plenty to choose from. As an update I removed the on board potentiometer and added a radio shack one mounted just under...

    Birds attacks & crashes flying dji phantom!

    One of the times I was flying at a soccer field near my house I had a falcon circling the phantom checking it out. I was wondering if it would come in closer but it never did and seemed to lose interest after a few minutes. I would never try to fly near a nest though.

    Cheap Ebay Gimbal ... My experience

    I wanted a gimbal but not one that was worth more than my phantom, besides I would rather spend my money on new motors and such not a gimbal to keep the camera steady.

    Where best to buy, Amazon or Atlanta Hobby or other?

    I had a really slow experience with Hellipal. I ordered mid December cleared customs in HK on Jan 8 and I just got my props yesterday. I emailed them a couple times and just got a canned response to be patient or contact USPS. I didn't find them friendly at all and will do business elsewhere...

    Phantom is one tough bird

    I was at my Grandmothers farm in VA two weeks ago and too the Phantom with me to get some play time in the big field next to her house. On Saturday the winds were steady at about 15 to 20 MPH but I did a little test flying in the open field anyhow. I have to say The Phantom with no camera...

    Actually over the new year break I did a factory reset and set everything back up and now it works as expected. I really love this thing.

    IOC Not working Yes I enabled it in the software

    I just picked up a Phantom for Christmas and I really love it. Unfortunately no matter what I do I cannot get IOC to work in CL or HL. I loaded the software and checked the box on the IOC screen and when I move the switch the change shows in the software, but when I fly no matter where the...
