    Aluminium Ribbon Cable Protector? Phantom Fix

    First Quad flight - Remove Camera?

    I saw on you-tube a post saying that if you are a novice, first time flyer of a Quad-copter (I am) that you should remove the camera and gimbal from the Vision + before flying it for the first time while becoming familiar with the controls, the lights and just learning to control the aircraft...
