How was flight time compared to stock batteries? Would you recommend them?

So what's the latest on the batteries? Serious mods to the battery door to get the 4000mAh battery? Any luck finding other better batteries?

Now that the battery bay has been modded, how's the increased flight time?

yes, even with the direct driver fix in system32. uninstall and reinstall. and still windows gets all funky with trying to install its own drivers every 4 seconds

I had been looking into upgrading the props but have been having ongoing difficulty getting my PC to recognize my Phantom. Most of what I have read about it involves modifying the Gain. Definitely interested in how yours will fly without any modifications. I'd also heard good things about...

Have they confirmed a release date? I'm hearing October from some sources, 2015 from others.

I checked 1 no-fly map and I'm in a no-fly zone, but according to DJIs website there isn't one anywhere near me...

I wanna get the Silver but am half-concerned with the new Hero 4 coming out. It's obviously gonna be pricey but wonder how it's gonna impact pricing of existing models. I don't want to spend $300 on a silver now and if the 4 is released in 2 months see a price drop of $75.

This is what concerned me about that battery. I measured and remeasured but just didn't feel comfortable. I've seen a couple videos of people who had to mod their doors by either having a custom 3d printed door or removing the door altogether and using Velcro.

What GoPro did you get and what other pieces for your FPV setup? I'm looking into throwing a couple upgrades on my FC40 as well, first and foremost a better battery and props...if I can ever get my damned PC to recognize my FC40

Any word on new batteries? I spent a great deal of time on helipal looking for one but couldn't find the right size and discharge combo. Was gonna buy the one list above at hobbyking but they don't have any additional accessories: was looking to upgrade the props but read horror stories that...

i could never get it connected to my PC. Windows couldn't detect it and would constantly try to install its own drivers.

Re: Dji fc40 Just the HDX or is the HD good also? I used my S4 and last night briefly lost the video feed at about 1000 ft a day (my butt did clench a bit because it was out of sight and above trees). Downside is that my Fire will drop the WiFi signal if you look at it wrong...

I'm probably too new to the game (got my FC40 delivered 7 days ago and on registered here this morning) but figure it would be worth while to compile a list of tested/approved/working add-ons. I've been researching batteries since mid-week but haven't been able to lock anything down...

I got my FC40 last week and after less than a day of flight the charger wouldn't charge properly. I don't recall the exact combination of the LEDs but it may have been a solid red and the charger couldn't detect any of the cells. It was set to LiPo and 2A. When we plugged in the battery to...
