I see there is no Phantom 1 forum so I'm posting my question here:
I have the original Phantom 1 with a Zenmuse H3-2D and the upgrade board. I’m interested are longer flight times and from what I've read the Phantom 2 delivers considerable longer flight times with the gimbal. Can I get the longer flight times by just purchasing the 9" props and higher capacity batteries? Or do I need to upgrade to motors as well, and get the Phantom 2 lower shell to be able to fit a larger battery? If it's just props and batteries I think I'll get them, but if I need new motors and a new shell I think I'll wait for the Phantom 3. If at all possible I would be extremely grateful if someone can provide links to the parts I would be needing. FYI... I'm not using any FPV equipment since my Phantom feels very heavy and the flight times are short as it is.
One last thing, have there been any flight time comparisons with the GoPro Hero Black vs the GoPro Hero+ Black. I'm wondering if the fact that the Hero+ draws something like 30% less power could have an impact. (Since the flight battery is "charging" the GoPro battery during flight).
Thanks in advance.
