I usually buy the top end of what I want so I don't cry later, but in this case I bought the Fc40 and I am not crying. Even got a Gopro which I would have never purchased and have never looked back.

Looking to get a gimbal for my Fc40 using a gopro 3 + black. I don't want any control / tilt for the camera. I just want smoother video. Can anyone point me in the direction of a relatively inexpensive gimbal?

Took mine off a long while ago. My future son in law who is a flying maniac put them on his fc40. He crashed doing his regular crazy maneuvers. They haven't been put on any quad since. Seeing was believing.

Thanks. Yes I understand the terminology. Also found something on YouTube that confirms what you stated. Thanks again.

I just got my first GoPro. It's a Hero 3+ Black Edition. I will be using video from my FC40 for no particular purpose other than flying around in the country. Can someone tell me some setting starting points?

Looked them up. Looks cool. Which one did you get and were they easy to install?

Thanks. Ordered from them too.

My eyes are not that good. Yes I am an old guy. Can you feel them?

I don't see that but do you think the knock offs are smart enough to put the correct barcode on?

So how can you really tell by observation that you have the real thing? Just received some from an Internet dealer and want to know what I got.

Thanks. Is there any landing gear to stay away from such as being to flimsy? Anyone have any advice?

I am sorry if this topic has been beaten into the ground but I have to ask. I want to get taller landing gear for my FC40 so I have clearance for my Gopro. After reading about the need to have the compass wires perfectly square on the new landing gear, I was wondering which product would make...

I have a gopro black on the way. From all I read I think I will use the Fc40 for FPV and use Gropro for videoing and stills. Do you have another wireless device to control the gopro?

Just wondering if anyone does this.....

Can someone tell me why used Gopro's hold their list prices so well especially when new models are coming out soon? Been trolling eBay for a while for a 3 + Silver edition to replace my Fc40 camera and I can't stomach paying over 1/2 the price of new.
