Is there a preferred 1080P camera that will do what the stock FC40 camera will do?

That is respond to the WIFI ap, take stills/video, but higher resolution, better balance, etc....

An auto gimble isn't required, but higher resolution videos are....
 
No.

If you want a different camera you will get a different app. GoPro has that.
Although the stock wifi distance isn't all that great.
 
That is what I am reading, gopro out of the box doesn't carry very far. The 3+ series have half a second delay, and the previous ones 2-3 seccond delay.

There doesn't seem to be a delay with the fc40 camera.
 
I have delay with my FC40 cam. I'm using an IPhone 3Gs so that might be the real problem.

Low framerate. Ceiling fan looks like its barely moving....

But it shot OK video the first time we took it up.
 
3GS may have issues. I'm sure the app wasn't designed with that phone in mind. As soon as I get mine on Wednesday or Thursday, I will fly it with my iPhone 5 and my android tablet and let you know.
 
sorry i was referring to FC40 camera, can't find it size online, to see if canon can feet or if has similar size :)
 
I'm not Positive but the Canon is certainly larger than the fc40. You would need to find/build/modify a custom shell to fit under the phantom. The fc40 is about 2 inches square and less than an inch thick. I do like the canon specs, nice little camera.
