The Spinido DJI Battery dock for Phantom 2 and 3 looks like it could be a great accessory for Phantom owners. Compatibility with both the P2 and P3 is bizarre, though, since the connectors are different. This could be a great alternative to DJI’s 4-battery Charging Hub. Both this battery dock and the DJI one ...

How to bring both an Inspire 1 and Phantom 3 onboard during travel. The stock Inspire 1 case will fit in the bag size checker, but will stick out of the top of it. It also fits in overhead on most airplanes, but only sideways. Some airline folks will let you through, especially if you ...
