    Gimbal Quick Release

    Much appreciated Dewey! I've always been a fan of what you've done for this hobby. Good point about the transport and maintenance, removing it does make it so much easier to deal with the gopro. I also keep it safely tucked away in my case so it's not hanging off the phantom and banging...

    Gimbal Quick Release

    hi all, even though i love the phantom as a stabilized video platform, i've found myself wanting to fly in manual mode for fun and wanted a quick way to drop the weight of the gopro and gimbal. it was becoming a hassle to take the gimbal on and off. i worked with my buddy who's designed 3d...

    offshore dolphin

    thanks, that was the largest group of dolphin I've seen so far! yeah it's definitely a risk flying over the ocean but the results are worth it. I do have a fpv setup on my phantom with iosd but I don't have full confidence flying in the googles over the water yet with all that rigging to...

    offshore dolphin

    we were lucky to run into a large pod of dolphin on our way back from fishing the northeast canyons.. http://vimeo.com/98889804 filmed with a p1 and goodluckbuy gimbal. the gimbal has serious horizon drift issues but in this case, the content overshadows that IMO. dan

    launching from and landing on a small (20') boat

    you're going to love the photos/videos from a boat.. such a great perspective! it is unnerving at first over saltwater but that excitement makes it rewarding when you don't dunk it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eP-80T7nbA

    Alexmos Gimbal Installation Tilt Problem

    if it's like the goodluckbuy gimbal you plug your lead into a0.. you'll see it marked on the gimbal board. it looks like you have a male to female servo lead when it should be a male to male. the lowermost pin on F2 to A0 did the trick for me on my goodluckbuy.

    Flying off a boat in Newport RI

    Hi Guys, I've learned a lot as a lurker on this forum and finally bit the bullet and bought one of these awesome quads for myself. I'm a few weeks in with the Phantom now and already flying it from a moving boat.. it was calm but still unnerving! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eP-80T7nbA...
