    Phantom motors

    I'd recommend replacing the C-clamps that hold the motor shafts as the stock ones are crap! I had one of my Phantom's plummet to Earth. Luckily missed the nearby storm water pond and bounced off pine trees and landed on turf. After taking the Phantom apart as it would not work, there was one...

    Garmin GTU 10 Require Activation Service with Garmin?

    This may have been covered already…. Does the Garmin GTU require a service activation with Garmin or does it merely work using an app? Thanks!

    Don't Spend $200 To Transport Your Phantom

    Pelican 1620. It's excellent! Fits two units as you can see, plus plenty of extras! The 1650 can fit your kitchen sink. I wouldn't recommend it. I have that one for other equipment.

    Garmin GTU 10 or Any Other GPS Locator Added

    I've read some posts about that it's a good idea to add something like a Garmin GTU 10 to locate the Phantom if it flys away. I supposed that that's only good if the Phantom is lost in the woods or something like that. Otherwise, someone finding it will have the Phantom loaded, the GoPro, and...

    First real flight .... more or less ...

    The 1620 should work with prop guards if you lay the Phantom horizontally. I take mine off as I'm storing two Phantoms in the 1620. I do highly recommend having prop guards. It will protect the propellers and anything that it may run into as a newbie Phantom pilot like me. I know as I did some...

    Frozen Motor?!?

    I had similar issue. CAUSE of my downed Phantom: The C-clamp holding one motor came loose and that brought down the Phantom! I wanted to upgrade to Tiger Motors - the white ones anyways. Did that, but one motor at the same location on the Phantom was still not rotating all the time. CAUSE: I...

    My first problem with Phantom

    First thing that I would want to know, do the motors operate? Respond to the controller?

    Case for Phantom with prop guards

    There's already another one or two posts on this subject. Search it out. Pelican case 1620. Fits two Phantoms, controllers, batteries, etc. I didn't want a HUGE case that will allow the prop guards to be on. Few minutes to screw on and off of the prop guards is all that is needed. There are...

    Goodluckbuy Gimbal Questions-HELP!!!!!!

    Re: Goodluckbuy Gimbal Questions I had bought a Goodluckbuy Gimbal also recently and it did the same thing when I had connected the power. It appears that the problem was that the bottom tilting platform that holds the GoPro was rotated once over. I don't know if that makes sense, but I turned...
