For sale is a pair of new landing gear (White color) for Phatoms. It is taller, wider than the stock landing gearThese landing gear fit on all Phantom versions (Phantom 1/2/vision)It will provide enough ground clearance for not only Zenmuse H3-2D Gopro gimbals, but also many other bigger Gopro gimbals, such as the Tarot T- 2DThe curved design and extra ground clearance serve as a safty buffer in case you have a hard landingIn addition, the new landing gear is wider. When you shoot videos with the stock landing gear, the gear always comes into the corner of the video. With this wider skid, no more legs showing in the video when flying aggressively
I got
From a range perspective I haven't taken it past 1,200' away. When I got out that far with the stock antennas I started getting static/snow in the picture. I plan on replacing the tx antenna with a skew plannar antenna. I recently purchased a 200mw 1.3Ghz tx for a 250mm FPV quad which I put this skew plannar antenna on. I'm going to evaluate that setup and decide what to do with my phantom. I think I may replace the 800mw tx on my Phantom with a 200mw instead and upgrade the antenna. I want to do this for 2 reasons, the 200mw is much much smaller and it draws less power. I noticed a dramatic decrease in flight time (12 minutes down to 5 minutes), which i attribute to power draw and additional weight. I'm hoping to get flight times back up to between 7-10 minutes (running 2200-3000mah batteries) with a new tx.
Gimbal works well after some tweaking in the software and the camera takes superb video.
Good luck!

Assuming you know about the trim functions and different speed modes yes?
And the GoPro is right on the edge of the payload capabilities for those motors.
Here was/is my setup.
I got the taller wider landing legs to give the GoPro clearance.
And later I actually added a piece of stiff/dense foam between the belly and the GoPro mount. This greatly reduced "jell-o" to near zero. Best pic I can find right now
Another thing that really helped out with Jell-o and over all stability was balancing the props. You'll be amazed how unbalanced those props are. Aftermarket props too. I bought this Prop balancer and use it for all my quads even my Carbon fiber props. Just keep adding pieces of scotch tape to the under side and remove excess with a razor until it's balanced.
I've crashed, repaired, and modded this little thing so many times so if you have any questions just hit me up
