Is it for yourself or business?? Quite a few rules and regs involved, not just a case of flying it around as you like.

Seconded for the Phantom...... thats me in the field behind the Temple faffing around with vids & stills.

Phantom 3,cracking bit of kit

 

[JCMaloney]

Rules are fairly simple.... always in line of sight, not over 400ft altitude, not over people, public structures such as bridges, stadiums etc ....mostly common sense!

400 foot? is that all? thought it was 400 metre

400 foot? is that all? thought it was 400 metre

More like 120m height!!!

More like 120m height!!!

120m isn't that high, them two I've just put on, the bottom one was at 120 meter and the top was 202 meter

Dphantom 3 is superb but the software updates can be a pain.

You can over ride the height thing and go as high as you like but it's naughty.

If you d get one go on eBay and buy a undercarriage protector. Gust of wind took mine away a metre when landing and tore the cable - £400 repair!

In 40 mph plus winds it doesn't make much progress in to the wind.

Also if using the auto take of and land make sure no one parks a blood tractor and trailer on the LZ 5 minutes after you take off! Made for an interesting landing!

Otherwise v idiot proof
