DJI Phantom 1 Trainer launched
In a quiet update of the Phantom 1 Series DJI just launched the DJI Phantom Trainer. It appears to be a Phantom FC40 without the attached camera and running on 2.4GHz vs 5.8GHz from the FC40. There have been a few improvements made to the original Phantom 1 however: New motors Propellers upgraded over original Phantom props (perhaps dynamically balanced) New compact Compass Overall the features are similar to an FC40 minus the ability to record video or photos out of the box. You can mount a GoPro in the available holster (not included). So basically the Phantom 1 Trainer is just a FC40 without the camera and runs on 2.4GHz. I would still recommend anyone interested in this model to spend the extra $200 and get the recently upgrade V2 of the DJI Phantom 2. I strongly believe that the extended flight time, better motors, props, battery, and the step up to the NAZA-M V2 justify the slight price increase, especially if you ever want to mount a gimbal to smooth out your video, which you will most definitely want to :).
