    Taking phantom on cruise ship

    Khudson7, I'm in the same scenario. I sent across an email on http://www.royalcaribbean.com and haven't heard back. Could I trouble you to share the email address of who responded or the email you sent the question to?

    Looking for suggestions on a raid solution

    I'm looking to purchase a RAID external hard drive with thunderbolt. I'm having a real hard time selecting one (a) in my price range (~ $800 ) (b) company has good support (c) allows for Raid 1, so (d) I'm looking for at least an 8tb solution. I'm not closed minded to the RAID and would be open...

    Backpack for P2 that will fit installed Props

    Hmm... just saw this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JLZ9YD4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2HABT2D8DGQ9G&coliid=IKMCA74JEOMMW&psc=1. I'm guessing if nothing else surfaces from this forum, I will buy this over the weekend and return the other. Still looking for recommendations...

    Backpack for P2 that will fit installed Props

    I was very excited when there was a phantom backpack under the Christmas tree this year. I was quickly disappointed when I learned that it didn't fit the Phantom with props installed. This is an issue for me because I have T-Motors on and it's really a hassle to remove the props. There is no...

    Can't remove props from P2

    And the winner is: RoboGrip. I now carry a 7" RoboGrip in my tool box. Place a paper towel inside of the grip and against the base of the motor and wallah! It's unfortunate that a tool is not made for this type of anti-gravity t-motor, but the RoboGrip makes removing and replacing a snap! Highly...

    Thanks, Jeffro. So no issues at all? I was scared into "flyaways".

    Stripped screw

    Thanks to the fine folks over at dslrpros I have one stripped screw and can not successfully and completely remove the casing. It just keeps spinning. It's not the head it's the female part inside that is spinning inside the plastic. Does anyone have any experience with this and suggestions on...

    Quick Disconect Prop Guards

    I've been doing more indoor warehouse shoots and more than once hit an electrical cord that was randomly hanging from a ceiling.

    Quick Disconect Prop Guards

    Curious if anyone has had any experience with these. I'm seeing them more and more. I want to fly with prop guards more but they're such a pain to put on, especially since they don't fit in my case.

    Can't remove props from P2

    Spoke with the people over at http://www.dslrpros.com, they do not make a tool that works with the anti-gravity motors. Spoke with Josh (I believe) he said he spoke with three techs. They all suggested using something to hold the motor. I surely could have done that this weekend. Just don't want...

    Can't remove props from P2

    Rookie mistake. Picked up 4-props on Amazon that are self tightening carbon fiber. They weren't bad but they did chip on a fall. I'm replacing with DJI Props (self tightening) but of course I can't get the old ones off. See shot below. If you've had this problem how did you get around it? I have...

    Quick update, in case anyone else experiences the same. I wound up buying an hd3d. I really thought about heating the metal up and bending it back but in the end, I have too much money invested to experience another crash. Sorry no quick fixes.

    Abandoned Insane Asylum on Long Island

    Same here. It was just department of public works, workers. They're harmless and smile while giving you a warning but I'm sure have local PD on speed dial. I was in no rush to get any fines. Plus I was packing up, so I was truthful when I told him I was leaving :) I went to every open window...
