I haven't got the nerve or experience to try a night flight yet. Let us know how it goes.
...or DON'T fly it in a room. I was stupid enough to try this, with prop guards on and it made no difference; the A/C went out of control cos I didn't know what I was doing and it smashed into the TV, with all props grinding away at the screen, wrecking it. Don't fly it indoors.....
I have to wait till the 29th for mine to come in. It will be my first one also. Can't wait!Woke up this morning to a loud bang on my front door, to my surprise it was the FedEx guy with this,
I can't open it yet because it's a Christmas gift from my wife, so basically, I bought myself a Phantom 3 standard for Christmas lol. I am also getting a Syma X8HG from my mother in-law, I figured I'll fly that around first until I get the hang of it, I'm totally new to this. Once I'm comfortable with the toy I'll give the Phantom a go.
I was just planning on getting the Syma to see if I'm even going to enjoy flying, if I did I would eventually upgrade to the Phantom 3. Well, once I saw that they dropped the price to $399, free shipping and no tax, I couldn't wait, I had to have it now. My wife thinks I should've waited, make sure I enjoy flying first before we spent the money on it, lol she doesn't know that I bought a Nanuk 950 case for it, I hope I like it! What do you guys think?
I ordered one from DJI two weeks ago.....then I saw a post where some one went to Target and was able to buy one....Being the very impatient man that I am I went to Target and bought it and canceled the other ordered. Very happy I did!!!
That would not be so bad. A Weber is useful. It could have been this:
Yes you can. They are selling for about $100.00 Now. Official DJI Batteries. Not one of the cheaper knockoffs that won't let you update your firmware.
That's Definitely the Responsible way to Go. GPS can give you a faulse since of security. It's Always best to Actually learn how to fly before Upgrading to Larger more dangerous UAV'S. GPS, And sensors, Excedra can Fail. Knowing how to Actually Pilot your UAV can Save you ALOT of Grief, and Possibly Worse. Especially with the standard model without the Litebridge connection. Your Range is very limited Especially if you are in a congested AREA as far as Wi-Fi is Concerned. Also Trees, and Buildings can block your Signal. **(Watch TOM TECH TALK For the PHANTOM 3 Standard, and Most IMPORTANTLY His TUTORIAL on the GO APP SETTINGS)**. It can make Or break your Phantom 3 Experience By Knowing the Top 10 Mistakes People Make. Good Luck and HAPPY FLYING!!!!!!!
Order a Gimbal, and camera Protector for storage First. The one that comes with it made out of hazy clear plastic REALLY SUCKS!!!!!!! Seriously EVERYONE will Agree I Feel Sure. Then purchase a Good Gimble Protector that bolts onto the Gimbal arm. Make sure to read the reviews for (space BETWEEN The Protector, and the Gimbal). It should Not be a large space, but almost touch. Then the DJI Carbon fiber Props with White tips or whatever you Prefer. They can help with BIRD STRIKES!!!Okay, I opened the box when she left for work lol, I took pictures of any number I found on the Phantom, also grabbed the manual packet and took that to work with me to check out. I'm going attempt to do the registrations today, I hope I got what I need. There was no damage, everything looked great.
I hope my wife never sees this thread lol
Sadly over the water the dji batteries never seem to go on offer, current cheapest price is the equivalent of $141....£116 in other words
