I'll be in the Gunnison area by May. I'm interested if they will let you fly at Garden of the Gods. I think wording it correctly would help... RC helicopter... aerial photography... etc

I'll be moving to Colorado in May and will be in Gunnison Country... good to hear that these for the most part fly pretty well at altitude. I got a couple of film ideas I want to do that maybe having another phantom would be pretty nice!

Flying too low and too fast. Only one so far.

Soccer fields/baseball fields are good places to learn (for the most part). Good luck! Also, you can't do flips with it (that I know of...). Maybe there is someone that is skilled enough to fly without all the nanny systems and do it, but I don't want to find out how and crash $1200+ of gear...

I don't think so. The DJI charger is really just a power supply, all the charging is handled by the intelligent controller on the battery itself.

Thats what I did. I was going to wait to get the gimbal, but saw the savings if you buy them together so went ahead and bit the bullet. Glad I did as I only flew my phantom 3 time without the gimbal/gopro. Other than those 3 times, the phantom has always gone up with a go pro on it

It wasn't very smart to do your first flight in a neighborhood. Go find somewhere else to get the basics down like a park or soccer field (where I flew mine first)

Got mine from B&H. The free battery was only on the P2V. B&H ships them (or at least on mine) with a wall charger and rechargeable batteries for the Tx. That was pretty handy I thought. They were the same price as every where else I looked, yet you got free shipping and the free rechargeable...

They can handle quite a bit of wind (I flew mine the other day in gusts of 35-40mph... wasn't fun, but it stayed in the air and the video was still smooth) and no, people aren't doing a ton of stabilizing in post. I have yet to do stabilizing in any of my fliming, and its very acceptable on its...

Well I finally got the foam cut for both cases yesterday. Sorry I don't have more pics, but here is the Pelican rigged out with the GoPro stuff, and the Seahorse with the P2. Edit: click the link. For some reason this forum is cutting the picture off. It won't resize or anything...

I actually ordered a Pelican case yesterday for all my GoPro stuff, so I'm anxious to see the difference between the two. I would have ordered a Seahorse for the GoPro, but the Seahorse (similar size to the Pelican I ordered) was $90 and the Pelican was $99. Figured I'd check out what Pelican's...

I thought about buying one of those, but I've never been impressed with any aluminum cases I have seen. They always seem to be flimsy-ish and don't hold up long term compared to Pelicans and similar cases

Based on what the seahorse website has and the tradecraft website, it is identical. The cases even look identical. Dimensions look like: Seahorse Case: Inside Dimensions 22.46" x 13.88" x 8.49" (57.0cm x 35.2cm x 21.6cm) Outside Dimensions 23.96" x 16.00" x 10.10" (60.9cm x 40.6cm x...

Was complaining to one of my friends about how expensive the cases are that fit the Phantoms and he ran across this: http://www.amazon.com/Seahorse-SE-920F- ... ds=SE-920F Its made by Seahorse and appears to be identical to the TradeCraft case with the exception that the foam isn't cut. There...

I'm right there with you. I'm going to fly it a bit this weekend iwth the gopro to make sure everything is good, then take off the connector to the go pro. A guy on here did it and said he is getting probably 2-3 minutes more of flight time
