    Its just a matter of time

    I recently heard of a new law here in California banning the use of FPV UAVs to take aerial video of real estate that is offered for sale. The bill was sponsored by the helicopter pilot bureaucracy. Big money bureaucracies twisting the arm of the citizen by manipulating the law to their own...

    Taller carbon fiber landing gear for the Phantom...

    I'll definitely try to add that feature. Perhaps if the gear had a locking joint of some sort... That way they could simply be folded underneath the Phantom during transit.

    Servos versus Brushless motors in a gimbal...

    As a very new person to the whole quad copter seen, and one specifically interested using a dji phantom with a 2 axis camera gimbal in conjunction with a GoPro Hero 3 camera, Why would a person desire to use a camera gimbal with brushless motors over one that uses regular servos..? It seems to...
