Hello all,
I just got my FC40 last week, and already know I would love to mod a few things. What I see here with the AR Drone is impressive, but I wanted to make sure I understood what I am getting myself into before going this route..
1) by adding the ar drone board, the new FPS shows the OSD on the left and the arrow in the middle, so if I want my videos do I need to add the FC40 cam, and if so can I still use my phone to initiate the recording, to avoid those 3 minute videos
2) Considering we are only talking about a mile or less travel, and still limited by the battery, I don't care much for gps mapping as I will have FPV . Is that less materials?
To keep it simple, my end goal for my phantom is
-to be able to go 750+ meters FPV connection (with hopefully less lag)
- whatever route to get my battery life up to 21+ minutes flight time
- lots of threads and items on amazon for new props, which are the best to use in terms of flight time ? (assuming 9" carbon fiber with the tightening nut integrated?)
- Does a gimbal make for much better videos? How the heck do people control them efficiently in the first place?
Sorry for posting questions that are probably already answered elsewhere, but to be honest there are so many videos and forum discussions about mods that lack actual proof and explanation, I would appreciate getting the opinion from someone who has taken the time to do it right. When I saw the scale I knew I came to the right place.
