    Connecting Walkera Gimbal to Phantom 1 Battery

    I just got a Walkera G-2D gimbal and a GoPro Hero 3 White for my DJI Phantom FC40. This is to replace the CNC Gimbal that did not work. When I opened the Gimbal package I noticed that the power cable end to Gimbal is different from the CNC one. The CNC Gimbal’s power end connected to the...

    GoPro HERO3 White Edition WiFi and the FC40

    I just got a GoPro HERO3 White Edition to replace the FC40 camera that came with it and I was wondering if I can safely use the WiFi feature to view it on my phone? I do have the 5.8ghz edition of the Phantom 1. Thanks a lot.

    2 Questions about GoPro Hero HD and a Gimbal for it!

    1. I got a CNC gimbal that ended up being defected, but one thing I noticed is that I can use it without doing any soldering or the like. I just had to drill a small hole to let the second battery cable hang out so I could plug that into the gimbal. Are there other cheaper gimbals that have...

    Flying for profit (US)

    I know that the New proposed FAA rules seem very reasonable for using these things for commercial use. But they need to be voted on until they become law. So I was wondering what I can do in the meantime? I know that you need to petition for a Section 333 exemption to be able to do it. And even...

    Good Gimbal (non-ZenMuse) for my FC40

    I am looking at replacing the FC40 camera on my backup DJI FC 40 and I was wondering what Gimbal would be recommended for a GoPro 4 that is under 100 (or close to)? I do not need a ZenMuse as this is a backup quad to my Phantom Vision 2+. I know there are CNC, Walkera, Tarot Gimbals (and...

    Zano Mini-Quad

    I am looking at getting a quad that easily fits in my luggage or small bag for trips which is one reason why I like the iPhone control because I don't have to carry a dedicated receiver. Plus it seems to fly well (according to their videos) indoors due to its sensors and outdoors due to GPS. I...

    CNC Gimbal with DJI FC40 Smart Camera

    I just got an DJI FC40 and a cheap CNC Gimbal and I have seen videos on YouTube where they have the FC40 camera installed the CNC Gimbal. I have a couple questions :) 1. How did you install the FC40 to this Gimbal? and 2. What settings did you use on the Simple BGC Utility to help balance the...

    DJI Phantom FC40 Discontinued and a good deal :)

    I just got a local store's last DJI Phantom FC40 Demo Unit at a super price and had a couple of questions about it. I am going to use this as a backup to my Phantom 2 Vision+ (v.3) Besides batteries, the lesser camera quality(w/no gimbal), and not having the ability to set waypoints is there...

    DJI Alternatives

    Thanks! That one actually looks pretty good! Except after doing research on hobbyking.com they have awful ratings! But do you or anyone else have experience with this model, or a website that has a review on it? Thanks

    DJI Alternatives

    FIRST POST :) yay! I have a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and love the things I am getting with it! But I did have a question. I would like a cheaper alternative to a DJI that I can add a go pro or another high quality camera too? I want this for either a back to my Vision+ or something to take...
