If anyone has lost a phantom in or around Buntingford in Hertfordshire check out Spotted in Buntingford on Facebook as someone has found it, Hope it gets back to it's pilot soon :D

Don't know if i have bad eyesight or not but my FC40 will go out of view and never lost wifi signal yet, I think the people who want the crazy long range wifi signals might need to think about flying a different model to the FC40 as I think it performs perfect. I'am using a sandisk class 10 16gb...

I have a GoPro 3 white which I sometimes use on my FC40 when I want better quality videos, The picture quality is a lot better and you have sound, The only down sides compared withe the FC40 cam is the GoPro weighs a lot more and the live video streaming App on iPhone is not live as there is...

I fitted some P2 vision props to my FC40 last week and are very happy with them, They spin on as a direct replacement and i have not changed any settings to the gains in the software, I was getting between 8 to 10 minutes before the low battery warning light flashed on a standard battery and now...

I made the change to vision props as well last week, Best £20 I've ever spent as it has changed my safe flight times from 8 minutes to 13 minutes without changing any settings, Also seems to be a little bit quieter and more responsive, Some people say you have to change some settings in the...

Had a horrible feeling that the Fatshark 5.8ghz would interfere with the FC40 5.8ghz radio. I bought the Fatshark setup before the Phantom as i planned to buy a different type of quadcopter. Looks like the Fatshark gear is going on ebay.

Hi, Has anyone tried the FC40 with Fatshark FPV goggles ? ! was wondering if it is safe to use the 5.8ghz Fatshark setup with a FC40, Seen loads of 2.4ghz phantoms using Fatshark but not sure if the later 5.8ghz radio will be ok. Made a nice foam mount for my Fatshark camera that fits inside...

Hi, I'am in Buntingford in Hertfordshire, Not seen any other Phantom's round here, Had my FC40 for a few months but only hovered it in back garden a few times as weather been mostly bad when not at work.

Any one know if the Phantom 2 blades fit the FC 40 ? heard rumours that they do fit and give you a slighter longer flight time, Wanted to check before I bought a set and found out that it is more internet bull.

Mine was on the single beep when new, Turned the lower screw on back of controller half a turn clockwise and now get 2 beeps when powering on, Not been brave enough to try flying further away but hope the extra signal strength will prevent any problems.

Had my first failure with FC 40 last week, The battery charger has stopped working, Charged the batteries fine for first few charges but then just went into some weird mode of flashing the main led red and green and the cell balance led's in a random way and did not put any charge back in...

Hi, My camera used to flash the red led for a few seconds and then go solid red each time I plugged into PC laptop or my Mac mini desktop, I assumed after looking in the instructions that this solid red led meant the battery was fully charged, I tried leaving it plugged in for hours to see if...

Hi, My Phantom does not go through the warm up phase as well, It only takes around 20 seconds from plugging battery in to a single slow flash of the green light.

Hi everyone, Had my FC40 for 2 weeks now and due to work and bad weather have only flown it in my front room, Everything seems good and the camera quality looks good on iPhone display and on the recorded sd card. Have plugged it into pc and downloaded all the software from DJI, all installed...
