"Manual mode - flip upside down - give throttle to speed down quickly - flip right side up and stop the descent." You have got to be sh1tting me!!! That sounds like a sure fire way to bury your phantom in a crater! Vid or it didn't happen!

I've had this for a while, but I want some confirmation as my knowledge is not as good as it should be. The battery seems fine - 15 minutes flying the Phantom 2 with 3D gimbal and gopro. I remember some time ago that I could fly and when the battery got to 1 green bar (on the actual battery) the...

Hey - nice footage. I've not crashed mine yet but if (when) I do, I shall be a p1ssed as you. The thing is, to get great shots, you may have to take a risk.... that's how I look at it. Good luck with your new gear, you've learned a lesson - happy flying ;)

The internet is a funny place with all of us "hiding" behind keyboards. The badass tough guys are often the exact opposite!

This..... first be reasonable and attempt to diffuse the situation. Sometimes this will work - everyone is now happy. But unfortunately the world is full of dicks and he probably is the sort that would create a stink about anything, drone or no drone. It's then your choice how to proceed because...

Now this is the Phantom footage I love - not only is it great piloting, but excellent videography and editing. There are too many "look mum, I'm in the air" videos to mention, so when such a great piece of work is produced it looks as good as Hollywood. Bloody brilliant.

hey - great video. Like the way you had some non phantom shots in there too. I know this is a Phantom forum but I think the vid would have been that little bit better if you had mixed up the aerial and ground shots a bit. Either way, great filming of tricky subjects.... and great riders too.

Hey IrishSights - I'm sure others are as well, but I'm very interested in this. What is your plan for commercial use? Who do you intend to sell your services to and have you got things lined up yet? Would be great to make money from something you really enjoy.

Hey - cracking video - as good as any pro promo I've seen. A fantastic place there too.

So you're saying this cheap board would take three times as long to charge all 3 batteries as it would the single battery?

There is nothing to say they wouldn't stab me after anyway - except I would question why for a simple robbery, probably just for cash for drugs, they would want a murder on their hands? Different places, different mindsets. I feel lucky that if I ever went out flying my quad, or taking photos...

expensive - What do people think about these triple charges that use your DJI original charger - very cheap but will it burn the house down?! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380974585639? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Yep, nice footage - agree with Judderman. To get that fast feel of the car, some snappier editing/faster cuts would help. Also agree some horizon shots with the car in would be nice. You have the decent footage, play with a new edit.

Great scenery and nice flying. Especially the woods flying. I love smooth close up camera work with the Phantom and would take that any day over high up flying.

I was walking this trail the other day, shortly after 8am with my wife - we love an early morning walk. All of a sudden we noticed this annoying buzzing and we observed this hoodlum flying his "drone" around spying on us. I walked up to him and gave him a piece of my mind. That thug only...
