before you waste 2k on phantom and another 2k for gimbal + gopro read first

https://www.facebook.com/djiflyaway

there's more dji horror stories on the net but if you can afford to risk losing that much feel then free to buy dji.

this dude sell dji. can visit him or just postage

and that's also why the term return to china is invented. it seems most flyaways started when they engaged gps mode and return to home. Somewhere along that the compass or gps got mixed up and it's gone
then what about those experienced quad pilots who had dji flyaways? i'm not saying pilot error is not a factor. Just saying it happens more frequently than quads of other brands
it's called fpv and you can build your own fpv setup in any quad as long as you have money

do a calibration before flight is a must for all user.. doesn't matter if one are veteran on this kind of hobby.

My pre flight checklist
1. Battery on tx
2. Battery on drone
3. Check each of the motors if there is any small sand that stucks in there
4. Make sure props are fit correctly (for noobs la)
5. Make sure props are secured tightly
6. Able to get decent gps status (8 blinks or more)
7. Set home for gps (but i am much more comfortable to fly in atti mode)
7. Safe area to fly (no shady strangers / stray dogs)
8. No gust wind (use tree other high things as reference)
*
9. Compass calibration.



BTW: Out of Topic, I am selling off the Fatshark V2 mushroom antenna.

come play near setia alam lol so i can watch u  brows.gif
just go buy micro quadcopter rm 100 also can have a lot of fun already
if u know your stuff then custom build quad is the best. otherwise just buy one of those ready to fly.

if ready to fly version got various choices from cheapo rm100 to infinity. of coz quality also different la.

cx20 without camera with mound around rm1k
phantom fc40 ready for videography rm1.8k
walkera x350 pro with camera mount but without camera
phantom 2 with camera mount but without camera rm3k
phantom 2 vision+ ready for videography 4.3k

in the end it depends on what you gonna use it for, how much you willing to spend and how much you're prepared to risk

i play there yesterday, u saw me? brows.gif brows.gif

True hobbyist need to be responsible and take good care of own and other people safety. What you did there does not sounds safe and will make our hobby looks bad!

You might be joking but multicopters (or famously but wrongly referred to as 'drones') are in the spotlight here. We are trying to ensure that this hobby looks good and stays good. Your comment will only make people think wrongly of multicopters. I and the rest of true hobbyist do not encourage this.  flex.gif
Looks like sya_cd already answered this for you bro  nod.gif
You guys at setia alam? Quite far from where I live. Maybe someday can go there and fly together  thumbup.gif

Ya normally I will hovering around Setia City Mall. I will avoid weekend evening because there are too many kites and distraction at the field there..

eh.. I thought they will start imposing bans on those RC Drones soon? I think...if i am not mistaken, you'd need the license, and permission to take off right? Dunno if it's already enforced, or on the way, or just a rumor. The last time I read a news about a drone accidentally crashed into some Dato's house that caused panic lol.

I was interested too in RC Drone, but after hearing that news, then no more haha..

NO ban la.. only certain place in States banned drone flying. Also Drones are banned flying near airports.
