    Any good camera & gimbal options for v1.1.1 (like on MavicPros)?

    Going to just update my own post... I bought a Yi 4k+ after finding out that it has a video out. I haven't wired it up to fit in the Phantom just yet, but I'm thinking that it should work just fine. 4K @ 60fps!

    Any good camera & gimbal options for v1.1.1 (like on MavicPros)?

    I've got a v1.1.1 that I've modded up (iOSD Mini, FPV, chinese 3-axis gimbal, GoPro Hero 3+ Black), but I haven't been very happy with the video quality for quite some time, so I never fly the thing anymore. I've tweaked the hell out of the gimbal and it's working pretty good for the most part...

    SpiroNet Antenna work fine with Rubber Duck Antenna?

    Sorry... dumb question. The new LCD I picked up has dual rubber duck antennas. In most of the pictures I've seen, people are using two different types of antennas. Should I replace just one one of the antenna (and leave one of the rubber duck antenna) - or replace both with the same type of new...

    Thanks again - I'm off to do some research!

    SpiroNet Antenna work fine with Rubber Duck Antenna?

    Thanks. I'm going to look for some replacements. That's pretty much the first thing everyone says - get rid of the rubber duck antennas!

    SpiroNet Antenna work fine with Rubber Duck Antenna?

    Thanks N017RW. That's what I was thinking/wondering. I'm hoping to get the Phantom out for a run in the next few days and do a solid test with the new LCD, but I'm pretty sure that I'll just end up getting a couple of SpiroNets for the LCD too.

    SpiroNet Antenna work fine with Rubber Duck Antenna?

    I've been using the FatShark Predator v2 goggles with the SpiroNet antennas and have been really happy with them. I just picked up a LCD w/ DVR built in and fired it up yesterday to make sure everything worked. I was in my basement and noticed that the reception wasn't that great - even though...

    Anyone ever used the csc mid-flight intentionally?

    And this is why I'm discussing this - to put my mind at ease that it's pretty much impossible to do (except for when I accidentally did it the first time - which I definitely admit that I was just messing around).

    Anyone ever used the csc mid-flight intentionally?

    WTF? I'm just trying to discuss this - not start an argument. If you read my post, it's not a hypothetical situation. While I was following a rider, I realized that I was very close to having both sticks in the CSC position.

    Anyone ever used the csc mid-flight intentionally?

    When I first got my phantom, I accidentally did a CSC and learned the hard way. I was pretty sure that I didn't hold the sticks very long in that position, so I decided to do a test and found that it shut the motors off pretty quick (maybe a second? - but I don't think it was as long as it takes...

    Anyone ever used the csc mid-flight intentionally?

    Yes... kind of. I'm picturing filming a wakeboarder - with the phantom flying backwards and in front of the rider. In order to keep up with the boat (24-26mph), the phantom will probably be going full speed. Having to maintain this speed to stay with the rider, then if you make the adjustment to...

    Anyone ever used the csc mid-flight intentionally?

    What about this situation... Flying the phantom backwards at high speeds while filming to prevent props in the shot. The right stick is pretty much in the CSC position (assuming that you're correcting the path of the phantom left or right while flying). Now, if you need to adjust your height...

    Phantom v1.1 won't hover in place

    I haven't opened it up since about the middle of summer - but that's a good idea. Can't hurt to double-check. I should have also mentioned that I never thought to make a note of how many satellites it was seeing, but I did get the double flashing green lights, so it has to be seeing more than six.
