grab some landing gear like this. I use this on my <500 size builds and have never broken a leg from a ground impact
I use this on my F450 and I've been pretty happy with it. It lets me move the quad back and forth to adjust COG some. When I've come down a little too hard the parts separate but don't break.
ZJchao(TM) FPV Anti-vibration Multifunction Landing Skid Kit for DJI F450 F550 Quadcopter Hexacopter

and it is awesome.
I just now cut a loop too short and snapped all 4 arms... the landing gear is unscathed... I really love how it just broke free and snaps right back on, doesn't break because there is just enough tension to keep the skids on a tough landing.
My crash just now was a result of 1) a loose FC causing instability 2) my thinking I was in acro when I was in horizon. Hit the ground full-force.
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
Finally, something I have the answer to!
These changed my video abilities completely:

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!
I can’t recommend it enough. But if you do, get a set like this Quickbuying Aluminum Alloy Taildragger Tricycle Landing Gear w/Steering Tail Wheel For RC Airplane Spare Parts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FYPZKP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_V9l1BbVH3W7S8
You want the metal to connect in the middle. The foam board makes it hard to attach the gear in a legit way
A suggestion. First let me say I don’t have a stake in this company BUT for less than $14, I bought a set of extension legs (extends it 3.2 centimeters off the ground). Just enough to keep the gimbal from uneven ground and packed sand! It does not seem to affect the stability of the drone. It does block the anti-collision / beacon lights but I don’t fly at night!

oh man! Nice landing skid!
Even though I just finished my quad, I really want to put a skid on it.

Try Amazon. 60 pieces for $7.99 is not bad.
