Hi Guys, I'm looking for informed opinions and guidance... and if you can help me find God at the same time that would be appreciated :lol:
I've had an AR Drone for a while now and really would like something bigger and better to actually be able to use with my go pro and get more distance and on searching I obviously came across the DJI platforms.
Now I've managed to totally get lost in what exactly I would need to achieve my goals of some basic flight with a gopro and achieve some nice stable video from it.
I already own a gopro black so that doesn't need to be bought, but as for anything else, I'm in need of it, so with this in mind what do I need to be able get air born and be able to see where I'm flying.
Phantom 2 (or is there a preferred alternative or better alternative) - would the phantom 1 do?
Gimbal suitable for the gopro 3 black (does the gopro need its own battery or can it take a feed from the platform for weight saving?)
Screen/goggles to do fpv
fpv video sender? can this take a feed from the gopro or will it involve another camera
transmitter if the platform doesn't come with one
anything else? any specific items to look at?
I'm not afraid of a self build its just knowing what to buy initially.
Any help you guys can offer will be gratefully received. Links to kit etc all welcome, i am in the UK but if its just for descriptions of kit its still welcome all the same.
Many thanks
