Nice, but need to rebalance ?

Been research some alternative 3rd party props, end up not really balanced compared to stock plastic ones.

BTW, I saw this.. brows.gif

Thanks bro. I will get myself:
1. Graupner CF Props
2. Tarot 2D V2 Gimbal
3. Powder Coat the frame / body.

Item no.3, where to do that coating? Any samples after the coating?

Anyway, this is a snapshot from last Friday at Setia City Mall. Noticed the haze is so terrible that day, decided to fly my P2 for aerial shot of the surrounding.

Really nice shot bro..  thumbup.gif

Regarding the coating, i got it from my place in Kuching. It will costs me around RM200 - RM250. Matte Black.
Ill upload the photos once its done. Still in the process of dismantling all the parts as i am still using the phantom for my video shoot.

Ohh respray of the body. Kinda eager to see the outcome biggrin.gif

Now tempting to get extra batteries + FPV setup. Throw in another few K's for it brows.gif

can recommend me established brands? i read internet most suggest DJI phantom brand only unless you want diy your toy. and i dont want to diy coz i beginner only. if phantom i guess only DJI and fc40 only suits my budget -.-
*
Phantom 1 is another solution too.

Well, actually what are you looking from a quadcopter? to just flying around?

oh yeah i meant phantom1 and fc40. want to play with aerial videography only..

If you keen to shoot proper aerial videography, you need high investment. A camera gimbal is a must for this.

not for serious one. just for playing only. Gimbal maybe for later when i've learned how to use the phantom to its full potential.

Right now I think i'm just gonna wait a couple of months save some more money and jump straight into phantom2 with gopro hero3+. No point buying the older phantom1 or fc40 if i'm just gonna regret it later.

btw your gopro is black edition or silver? got any video u captured using the drone u can share?
I checked and the general consensus said its a ripoff of phantom but inferior quality. so i think i'm pretty set about buying phantom now

If u could wait... Just wait for the Parrot Drone Mini. It comes with the camera as well.
