Not sure about the stability issue but there has been a F/W upgrade already. The problem was on turning (YAW) right you would see the leg on the Phantom. This is because the GoPro lens isn't dead center.

A bit of a whoops moment for DJI.

Have you upgraded the phantom F/W yet?
My first test run had this problem. On turning the PH2 right, I could see the left PH2 leg briefly. I've since updated all the firmware but haven't had chance to film any more footage.

Is there any alternative product to the dji offering that's on the market?

Is a phantom 3 coming out any time soon?

They only just released a new Phantom 2 derivative, so I guess not.

What do you want that a DJI quad can't provide? Look at this site and you'll see there are some others http://www.quadcopters.co.uk/

The honest answer is that I don't really know hehe

Looking at options.

I keep saying I want to wait until the GoPro Hero 4 is released...but I'm not very good at being patient...

I bought a couple from here http://www.kingslynnmodelshop.co.uk/Quadcopters_an...

Got good service from them both times and used them since for a Hubsan. Free delivery and good prices.

Firmware upgrade has sorted the 'leg in shot' for me with H3-3D.

Hoping to get a couple of good flights this weekend. I took a slight risk and ordered mine from banggood.com. I'd used them plenty of times previously but only on low value items. I got hit with import duty but it still came in £100 cheaper than if I'd ordered it from the UK.

The new Phantom 2 comes with an even new v1.1 H3-3D Gimbal now and something called anti-interference reinforcement board and connects to the Hero 3/3+ in a different way to the v1.0

We're waiting on the new stock to arrive from China :-)

I'm looking for the new gimbal and the adapter plate for my slightly older Phantom 2. I think the adapter plate comes with longer landing skids.

Have you adapters and gimbals coming as separates or have you just got the Phantom and Gimbal bundles?

The new v1.1 Gimbals are coming as separate items, just not sure when at the moment.

Have you adapter kits coming as well? (for the smaller holed Phantom2).

The new v1.1 Gimbals are coming as separate items, just not sure when at the moment.

I've got a DJI Phantom Vision 2 Plus coming tomorrow. Couldn't be bothered with rewiring anything when adding a GoPro to a normal Phantom 2 so glad to see they come out with something new.

I'd be interested to see what you think of the PV2+ especially the camera side of things. Do you already have a GoPro?

Sure will give my thoughts once I've had a play with it.

I don't have a GoPro - had one before and only ever used it once so sold it. A mate of mine has a Phantom 2 with GoPro and the H3-3D Gimble so will get him to give me his thoughts as well.

I know the Vision 2 Plus isn't as good quality but I'm not looking to do anything professional with it.

Boro - are you 'doing deals' on the Phantom & H3-3D gimbal?

Looking to get one over the summer and I'd rather give my cash to someone 'I know' (so to speak) rather than any random company, if you see what I mean!

Few with my Eos M under the F450 :



Needs a vibration damped mount but still managed to stitch three pics together to make this pano :

Cool. I want to fly a quality stills camera, eos m or nex a7r or something. Recommend the f450? Any links to good setups for sale?

Where are you getting it from? I've had mine on pre order for ages now and the re-stock date keeps coming around and then getting put back by a week! Everywhere I have tried they are out of stock
