Thanks guys for the tips!
I can fly for about 30’ on a 11.1V 5400mAh battery, which isn’t bad. Even
though I haven’t had any hard landing, I think David has a point in getting
some spare landing gear.....
Is there much of an advantage to a 3 axis vs. 2 axis gimble? Again, probably
won’t be a serious video guy (sure, that’s what they all say!).

I received a DJI Spark for Christmas... like its big brother the Mavic it flies
itself and take nice video and panoramic photos. I thought it would be good
to take rocket launch videos.
I've purchase lots of accessories on Amazon prime... more batteries and
extension legs were my first add ons.

Hi all, I got a Mavic Pro yesterday. I'm developing a parachute recovery
system for it. And besides it's fun to fly around! That copter flies it'self.

Not familiar with that unit but GoPro/gimbal options depend on how good you
want it to work.
Aerial media pros has some nice stuff but pricey.
Getfpv has options too.

Since I can’t fly rockets this weekend, I am trying to get some practice
with my new drone (XK 380). I have a lot to learn, but found out how much
easier it is to fly a better drone than my old wimpy one. Nothing like
heading, GPS, holding patterns, etc.!
I know TCC has some accomplished drone flyers and need some direction.
Questions for now:
1. What replacement parts are most likely to be needed? Thinking
landing gear and props?
2. I don’t have a camera yet. I don’t plan to be as accomplished as
Nathan. Just want to have some fun. Any reasonably priced camera/gimble
suggestions?
3. I have come across several internet stores with fairly good prices
such as Banggood. Any others?
Thanks for any direction people might have!
