Wanted to test a an original Phantom 2 battery that was sold to me as not holding charge. Temperature outside was 0 degrees F. So I sent it up about 130 feet and parked it. Thought I might get a couple of minutes flight and maybe my GoPro 3+ might function. Wow, I kept it up for 10 min with 53%...

OK, haven't flown with them yet but did watch a flight I'd previously recorded, and it was great. Tried with three different phones: Nexus 6, Galaxy Note 4 edge and a HTC One M7. The Nexus 6 was too big, the Galaxy Note 4 provided the widest view at 5.5" but the screen edges were distorted...
