The F.A.Q. for Qiyun Landing Phantom Vision Quadcopter (Hobbies)

Good landing gear for any syma x8 model only little down side that it adds a little more weight to it. I have a gopro strapped to mine and it feels just a tiny bit heavier but i can now put my gopro to the "medium" field of view without the pesky stock legs in the shot of the camera!

A number of questions have been asked here.

Q&A

(0) Question: Where do you put the compass?

(1) Question: Is this us made?

(2) Question: Will it go on a x8w

(3) Question: How heavy is this

(4) Question: Will this fit on mjx x101?

(5) Question: Can you supply the extend cable for the compass

(6) Question: I am worried about the durability of these. are they really that bad or is it just something to keep in mind when purchasing them? how fragile?

(note) Question: where/how to get Qiyun (manufacturer's brand) accessories & similiar Qiyun's products

Best qiyun landing phantom vision quadcopter (hobbies) in review

Waaaaaaaaaas not expecting the landing skids to be this durable after reading some reviews! i really emma upload a video showing you how durable these actually are. I put these on my syma x8c and used the original screws that came with my quadcopter's landing skids! they also give you more clarence! i have a xiaomi yi (action camera) mounted to the bottom of my x8c and it really helps in grass or rocks. Also you don't see the leg in the camera's view so no more cropping! i should have done a before & after photo now that i think bout it. Also comes with little black stick pads to put on the bottom of the landing skids so you don't land on just the plastic. Honestly, wasn't expecting this my quadcopter also bounced off a roof today and landed upside in a tall tree. Cleaned them off and look like new, crazy!

Some people are really picky about landing gear, i've got two versions of tall dji phantom landing gear. If you're interested in which two, look at my reviews. They both are equal in design. However one pair is more flexible than the other. I know some people would whine "it's flimsy", wah wah wah. Truth of the matter is, if you have these things where they're super stiff, they don't give, they break in hard landings. I've been flying rc and driving land based rc vehicles for years. I'll take something flexible any day. They're good and with an adapter that i 3d printed, i'm running these on a cheerson cx-20 without a problem. Holding up great. They're cheap and since i'm not at luxury to be in the "more money than brains club", i'll stick with these cheap landing gear replacements. The height they raise the cheerson makes it easy to clear the gear best 2 axis gimbal.

So far so good not sure if it could take a hard landing but i like it. Nice wide base

O. Nees, Hampshire says

I added a stabilizer for the camera and that made it hang lower than the stock camera mount - it would actually stick out below the original landing gear! these tall landing gears work as advertised and give me the additional height i needed. The quadcopter still tends to tip forward on landing sometimes but a set of prop guards fixes that issue.

Arrived when they said they would (purchased under prime). The legs each add only 1g of weight. The mounting screws, while longer than stock, are exactly the same (4g for 8 screws). What's nice about the included screws is they match the hex-head of the majority of the dji phantom body screws - as opposed to the slot/phillips head supplied with the quadrotor. . Despite my doubts compass attached just fine - cable tucked away neatly just like stock. . Yes - these are definitely a little more delicate than the stock legs - but saying these are more prone to breaking -vs- stock isn't saying much. If you're slamming your phantom around that hard odds are pretty good stock units are going to fail as well.

These legs are outside the frame when filming with a sport cam such as a gopro, which allows you to take movie-quality video footage. Now you simply need to fly smooth and maintain a hover ; -). Not five stars as the legs could be wider at base to prevent tip-overs. The drone has a higher center of gravity with these installed, yet the same footprint base.

A must have if you plan on putting a gimbal on your phantom. They come with foam feet pads and new, longer hardware. I chose not to use the hardware as there didn't really seem to be a point to it, but its there if you need it.

V. Barbara, South Tyneside says

I ordered these legs for my promark p70 vr drone which is essentially a syma x8. These fit perfectly on my drone. They look great and help lift my action camera off the ground, and the legs no longer show in my wide angle videos. The legs are made of a strong plastic and not flimsy. These also came with the screws for the dji models. This will help greatly when posting new videos on my youtube channel. Thanks so much.

Easily installed these on my phantom 1. 1. 1. I read reviews of people having trouble attaching the gps module. I mounted mine as low on the landing gear as the gps cable would let me go. The tall lading gear leg is a little thicker than the stock and the bracket is made to fit on the stock size landing gear, so i had to put a little pressure of the mounting bracket to get it to slide on. Once that was slid into place the mounting screws for the gps secured it very nicely for a final product. This is great for people who have a lot of camera equipment and other accessories hanging low on your phantom.

Yes, these landing skids are a bit flimsier than the stock ones. I have not broken any yet. I am more concerned about breaking the $680 camera and gimbal on my phantom vision plus. . They weigh 23g each side, which is the same as the stock landing gear. That is one reason they are more delicate. They are thinner. Some folks would be more concerned if they were heavier than a little less strong. The quality of the the part is not quite as good as a stock dji either. . As far as the installation goes, there may have been updates to dji phantom 2s, based on comments here, because there are now soft grommets at three of the holes through the mounting surface of the legs. You do not need to disconnect any wires. Pull out the three white soft rubber plugs to reuse with the tall legs. Save the white tape too for the two antenna wires and ribbon cable. Or not. You could use scotch tape for that matter. The trickiest part, but by no means hard, is moving the compass bracket over to the new leg. Make sure to put it on the same leg as you took it off of. Take the u-shaped part of the bracket and press it on the back of the leg about the same distance from the body. It will have to be a bit farther down to reach a thinner cross section of the leg. If by chance you are too weak to press it on, which is unlikely, you can probably sand the leg a bit. Once you get the u-shaped part on slide it up toward the wider mounting end as far as you can while the bracket is still in contact on its entire inner surface. Then put the compass side back on the u-shaped part and loosly attach the 4 screws. A bit of adjusting may be necessary. Tighten the screws. Reconnect the 4 pin connector and use the piece of white tape to keep the ribbon cable inside the leg channel. You should recalibrate the compass which takes about 1 minute: flip right switch 5 times and turn on two axes per instructions at dji, and which you probably got with your phantom. . Under no circumstances should you have to solder or cut any wires! if there is an issue of no large hole between the two mounting screws holes, then return it and get a set that do have the large hole in the center of the the mounting surface, as they should. . Case: i bought the taller skid immediately and knew it would not fit in any stock case or backpack. So, i bought a rubbermaid 1170 actionpacker storage box, 8-gallon, here on online store, along with some fastcap kaizen foam 57mm, to make my own case. If i already had a case i had bought, i would probably remove the legs. Yeah, that would be a pain every time i flew, but it is better than losing a camera and gimbal. Tough choice but one i think is obvious. . A brace across the corners of the the skid even made out of a tooth pick would make that corner stronger. Or tape on a slim carbon fiber rod. Depends on how much you are worried about breaking it. I am not. I just try to land soft every time. If it breaks, i have a spare, and it gets easier and faster to install once you have done it. . Last comments: the wider stance legs are overall springier which is an added bonus. However the width is still the same as the stock skid, so a tip in the front to back direction is still quite possible. For 6. 5 bucks it is something you should have more than one of because they are not break proof. It's a shame that dji does not make them and control the quality, but as it stands, they are still much better protection for a camera and gimbal then the stock skid. I doubt i would use the tall skid if i just had a plain phantom 2 without a camera. This is the same wide gear offered many places online. I have ordered elsewhere but like doing business through online store. I did choose cheerwing though for a lower cost with still free shipping. There is the possibility that quality may vary with different vendors.

A must have for phantom owners. The only "complaint" is that the color is a little yellow, but who cares. The gear gives you a little peace of mind, especially for me. I always fly at construction sites so sometimes i have to land in gravel lots, before the gimbal was a little too close to some of the bigger rocks, not its not a worry at all. It takes about three minutes to put them on!

S. Ross, Milton Keynes

Great for my original dji phantom. Much easier landings without tipping over and much better camera clearance; less likely to have the landing gear in frame on videos and less likely to bump the camera while landing on uneven terrain. Have held up to a number of fairly hard crashes too. Easy to install.
