Hi, Thanks, that's exactly the sort of thing I had in mind. Darren.

Hi, I've fitted an H3-3D to a Phantom 2. It all works fine, but the anti-drop pins foul the gimbal at the extremes of its movement. I've looked at videos where people have mounted both pins on the front (which is what I have done), and pushed the locking collars to the second position (again...

Hi, Quick update: I went for the P2 with H3-3D in the end from firstpersonview.co.uk. They were very helpful, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a UK supplier. I found some very helpful videos on You Tube from someone called "ThatHPIGuy". He showed how to fit the H3-3D step by step...

Hi, I'm a complete beginner, no experience with RC craft or quadcopters. I would like to get a DJI rig with FPV. I've looked at the Phantom 2 Vision+, which looks great, but see some negative points raised on the forum. I've also looked at something like this...
