mmtphoto, that's an excellent suggestion. I've always been an iPad/iPhone user but a $99 tablet, strictly for the Phantom, might be exactly what I need! I had priced out an iPad mini and it didn't make sense to buy a tablet that cost as much as the quadcopter. Does your droid have 3G/4G...

What does everyone use to view their app? I've been using my iPhone 5 and it's a bit small. It looks like most people use something bigger. Bigger for me is an iPad Air but I'm not sure if that'll end up being too big and cumbersome to attach to the remote. So my questions are? 1) what do...

I've been happy with the battery life on my Phantom 3 standard remote and the battery life on the quad copter is satisfactory as well. For whatever reason the app. seems to guzzle juice on my iPhone (5S) battery. I've noticed on some videos that people have a cord connected from their remote...

Applecrest Farm is in Hampton Falls, NH. I've gone apple & strawberry picking there and now I really want to fly there! That's a beautiful shot there. Where is that anyway? Is that Mount Wachusett in the background? I'd love to meet up with people and fly. Sent from my iPad using...

Applecrest Farm... I never even thought about that as a possible place to fly. I'm only about 20 minutes from there. Did you have to get permission from the Wagner's to fly there or can you just take your drown up there and fly? Beautiful footage BTW! Sent from my iPhone using...

Thanks for all the great advice everyone. I did have a Parrot drone prior to this. It definitely gave the feel of flying a quad copter for the first time. It was cheaper than a Phantom. It sort of did what it wanted to do and I have to agree with rcheing, it's more difficult to fly then my...

James, that's a pretty accurate description of what a quad copter is- a fragile $500 bill, precariously floating in the air. That's probably because that's exactly what it is ;-). As soon as I figure out all the nuances of my quad's camera, I'll start posting photos. Thanks for your...

I'm a new Phantom 3 pilot with fairly minimal quad flying experience, and RC flying experience, period. From what I've seen so far, flying the Phantom 3 is easy, very easy. It seems like it goes everywhere you want it to go and stays everywhere you want it to stay without any interference from...

I just received my shiny new Phantom 3 as a birthday gift and I must say- this thing is awesome! I had a Parrot drone, purchased at Brookstone, prior to this. It was a fun first drone but pales in comparison to this one. I'm amazed by how well the Phantom 3 handles, how easy it is to...
