thongbong said:The battery will definitely not come loose, guaranteed. The reason I wanted to keep a separate battery was that in the chance the Phantom crashed and the props kept spinning, you know the rest. The life of the GPS can last about 1 week away from the home charger, 1 month if its within range of the home charger. (you can look this up on their website)
For antenna, I believe it uses an imbedded chip antenna. Very very small! And it still works taking it out of the case! I dont have a scale, but without the battery I wager the GPS devices weighs no more than 15grams and total with the battery no more than 40 grams.
The battery can come out depending on how the P2 crashes but yes if the props stay on you will have a very short time to find it so separate battery makes the most sense either way. I like it. This may be the best way so far.
