unless of course you're going to chop it up and make a v-tail tri-copter out of it, in which case, carry on.a little bit of me just died inside.
You will not regret it. Perfect tool.oh dear, bit the bullet and just brought a P3 Pro...arrives tomorrow

Ouch ! haha, it took me quite a while to convince myself to buy one, but being a camera operator on a friends inspire (he is the left most guy with beanie on, im the one with the hat and the carl zeiss cinemizers on - time for a selfie while filming motorcorss bikes coming down the jump at the inspire) - I got to see how integrated the whole system is...and compared to my APM machine, using 2.4 link for the control system, 433 mhz for telemetry and 5.8ghz for video feed, and no way to control the camera settings/recording etc, the Phantom made sense as a machine I can use anytime i need to get a photo/video done.a little bit of me just died inside.
Yea, thats my plan, a reliable machine for getting the job doneMat
I 've had one for a while now and it's been very good all round. The go-to machine when all else fails....
It has one problem though. it does not take the upgrades, I really don't mind that too much because it does what I need without the risk of fixing what aint broke.
Nice vid Ferdinand, thats some long range flying, well staged shotsYou will not regret it. Perfect tool.

Very interesting additional information. I had no idea that was via Follow-Me mode. You might consider editing your post with the video to mention that it was filmed using follow-me mode.@matwell
Just to be precise, it is me on the bicyle controlling the P3 via follow me, so the remote control was within a range of about 100m all the time, so not really long range.

I wanted to see you make the turn at the T intersection at the speed you were runningVery interesting additional information. I had no idea that was via Follow-Me mode. You might consider editing your post with the video to mention that it was filmed using follow-me mode.
Very nice video. How many flights, batteries and over what period of time did this take?You will not regret it. Perfect tool.

Two flights a 18min. I was cycling to the airfield and did some flying there (first battery), since no one else was there (for an experience exchange ) I was cycling back home taking another route (second battery). Overall it was no longer than one hour (cutting and editing took some more time).Very nice video. How many flights, batteries and over what period of time did this take?
