Looks like plenty of folks are getting multis this year! http://www.theverge.com/tldr/2014/12/25 ... s-presents

I recently ordered one, took about 7 or 8 days to get to Texas

I've heard good reviews on both. I use the fatsharks and range is great. The IBCrazys may have a LITTLE better range but the antenna are exposed without a mushroom shell and can get bent easily

I do the coin balancing trick and was pleased with the results. You can hear the slight hum of the motors working, but that's unavoidable, balanced or not.

Yes, the more balanced the gimbal is when off, the lest stress on the motors when on. Quite a few people(myself included) had to add a little weight to counter the tilt. Some have various techniques, I just double stickied a penny on the motor to add just enough weight to balance

I found this article to be a good read. http://dronelife.com/2014/05/22/fly-dro ... worry-faa/ Whether or not it will become 100% true is another thing, but the guy does make a lot of sense

Re: Notes on identifying a V2 ESC (it's firmware, not hw/lab I believe all lights flicker briefly but only the greens light up before arming on some models. I would just ignore this part as it seems to be a mixed bag, the most obvious change are the startup sounds. Extra 4 beeps = V1 Initial...

Put mine in the front in case I want to add a tracking device later Anyone have a good GPS or tracking device on their Phantom?

That doesn't even make sense. Who would block batteries, DJI? Why?

Any non-vision P2 guys try putting P2V legs on our quads? My gimbal hates the grass and will complain loudly every time I sit her down. I believe the vision legs are a bit longer anyone try them out?

Re: In UK, TGI Fridays using UAV's indoors to get patrons ". Don't be a whistle blower Let's enjoy some good news for a change

The Phantom decks him, turns back to look at the damage as if to say "Not in my house, b**ch!!"

Re: Is it Just Me?Or P2 Non Visions are obsolete on this for I hate to generalize but its kind of true. Go to the official DJI forums and it's about 90% vision+ users asking how to turn on their Phantoms or why it keeps trying to "fly away" when they lose GPS (Atti in the wind)...

Re: Notes on identifying a V2 ESC (it's firmware, not hw/lab This is valuable information, you're a good man. I noticed ALL my lights flash for a second during power up but only the back (green) lights stay on until I arm the motors. I also dont have the 4 extra beeps. Got my Phantom on...
