I've been flying the Phantom2 and F550 for a few weekends now and getting the hang of things. One thing puzzling me is that the Phantom seems better than the F550.
It is lighter and so more agile, it flies easily for 17minutes plus loaded with gimbal, goPro and FPV transmitter.
The F550 seems to get thrown around in the wind almost more than the Phantom and batteries go down pretty quickand are very fiddly and slow to charge.
As far as I know the F550 can't lift anything more than a GoPro so there's no advantage of having more lift power or am I missing something? I thought the Phantom would be very different and lack the capability to film but it seems to make the 550 unnecessary.
Any of you with experience of both I'd be interested to know your view on this!
