I had purchased an aftermarket battery that fits the same way. Does not seem to click in like the originals.

I think the main key here is the ease of transport. Not so much an issue for a photographer who is hauling along a bunch of equipment as it is, but rather the weekender who wants to have a sky camera with him when he goes to his cabin or lake. The other draw is the speed which will be appealing...

Man that sucks. It reminds me of a time about 30 years ago when I let my friend drive my slot car I had since the early 60's. It was a race winner and very fast for it's day. My friend had never driven one before, and proceeded to smash it into a wall. That was the end of that as the magnesium...

Hello from Fairfield county CT. Just got my first Phantom and was wondering if there was a list of places in Fairfield CT to fly without getting arrested. I know about the airfield at Sherwood Island but these guy's are RC plane pilots and I'm sure would not appreciate a quadcopter hovering in...

I bought a new Phantom 3 standard off ebay a few weeks back from a woman that was selling it to raise money for a soup kitchen. I suppose it was a donation or something like that. Anyway it was 410.00 and factory sealed as it was supposed to be. Flys great but had to calibrate the IMU before it...
