so according to those guidelines its ok for us as below 7kg phantom pilots to fly over 400ft?

Hi all, happened to win a 3d housing for gopros for £41 on weekend. Total bargain! I'd really like to film so aerial footage in 3d. I've been pricing up individual motors for a 3d gimbal and carbon bits etc. Now unless I make my own housing, here are the weights. Think its do-able? Camera -...

same here. CAA require you to have a commercial pilots licence to make money from them. That's the same as you need to fly concorde or a 747. Weird but hey ho...

Re: Just got busted by the COPS!!!! well it's not like the government are filming them haha Probably pass through more cctv cameras and satellite imagery in an hour than they see of a quad in a year :lol:

Was just wondering if anyone has more powerful motors on Phantom. Couple of concerns 1) First will esc power more power motors 2) Purpose is to carry two external batteries, but will the added motor power just drain them and actually not produce longer flight times thanks Had a look at the...

email dji photo. maybe they sell you a new main board

don't stress....just been there myself haha It's all a long learning curve. Can I suggest watching a few vids on dji site...really helped me Also in naza mode gps still works, just you can add 3rd phase to right switch, which I set to failsafe incase I get in trouble, and left switch does...

yea my phantom 2 is now stripped back to basic weight, but it still finds it hard to hover in one spot. I've recalibrated the compass etc etc. I'm thinking that the compass maybe dead. It did take a whack a few weeks back.

pitch wire 3 goes to the bottom f2 naza pin, that's it, just one wire. Except power of course

thank you all for your help. A friend of mine is coming to have his zenmuse 3d fitted later, so i'll weigh his with zenmuse on. I'll probably go down that route.

behind the red strap on the left landing skid. Does compass need to be mounted vertically? Is balance really that crucial? will phantom not trim it out with thrust? Thought that was the perk of multirotor platforms

both of ebay. I live in uk and there are some available in uk. Guess they already came from China. It's my perfect setup too, but is 100g over DJI rec Take off weight

Hi guys, just probably an amateur comment, but I've now installed a longer landing gear and gimbal from ebay. It all works fine. However now the phantom 2 is really hard to control. It wont even hold it's spot on gps mode now, and on failsafe it hovers in my general location but drifts all over...

Re: Phantom 2 gets totally out of control once in a while (v interestingly, since ive installed a gimbal (not zenmuse) I get a power short sometimes on the motors. Like an instantaneous blip with a high pitched squel, then it just carries on flying. Looks like yours is the same. It's really...

so need the whole gear. I just wanna programme my p2 to do some flights BVR. And the p2 is more stable flying itself, be nice for some footage that's all
