Here is raw footage from a flight yesterday in San Diego. DJI Phantom with Rotorpixel Gimbal Lite and wire-isolation mount, GoPro HERO3 Black camera set to 2.7K/30p, Graupner carbon-fiber props, and landing gear extensions. It was a really windy day—you’ll see the props in the frame as the quad angles itself to stay in the same place.

With a Turnigy nano-tech 3S 2200mAH 45-90C battery, I saw my first red light in the LED status indicator at around 6 minutes. I am always conservative with battery life when the Phantom is heavy, so I try to land immediately.
