    Thanks guys for all your answers! I recieved the gimbal yesterday but sadly it did not work. I connected it to the balance line of my phantom battery and it would not initialize. The lights turned on and flashed as if it was initializing but the engines didnt turn on to stabilize it. Dont really...

    Short battery life, about 4 minutes

    Short battery life, about 4 minutes

    I actually ordered a gimbal and am also interested in adding a separate battery for it, haven't been able to figure out how it would connect and what battery would be appropriate to use though. Neither did i know that it would add flight time, i guessed the extra weight would offset the gain...

At what voltage do the batteries start taking...

The quad...

    Short battery life, about 4 minutes

    Hey guys! Recently bought a new DJI phantom 1 that was left in stock and i took it out for the first time today, completely new battery, fully charged not much wind but a bit chilly 6 degrees celsius. And i got about 3-4 minutes of flight time. I have bought 4 batteries, all were fully charged...
