    Battery charging in car through an inverter

    Phantom for fun flying?

    I've kept my P2 with Gopro 4 for a couple of reasons. Firstly I have the Phantom fully kitted with GP4, H4-3D gimbal, 5 batteries, Pelican case, back pack, Ground Station, full FPV monitor and DVR set up etc.The actual Phantom is only about 30% of the cost of the kit. Secondly, it's much more...
