I have a Phantom 1.1.1 that I would like to use for shooting videos. I want a plug and play option that will allow me to mount a camera (I have a Go Pro Black) and I would like to see from the ground what my camera is seeing from the air. What do I need to purchase to make this happen? I have...

I just ordered the Go Pro Neutral Density Filter. Thanks for the advice. I am still up in the air about the gimbral. I think my timidity is based on my lack of knowledge about setting it up. I don't want to solder anything. I prefer plug and play when it comes to electronics. On a side note...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I came to my conclusion by reading and lurking in this very forum. I can see that you must be the warm and fuzzy member of the group.

Howdy! New to the DJI Phantom world. I've had mine for about a week now. I haven't fired it up yet. I updated the software and downloaded the NAZM Assistant. I purchased 5 extra Mad Dog batteries and I am now about to start asking questions. Not really interested in flying it until I have a...
