If you want a fast flying fun copter than the Phantom is an amazing piece of kit, mine is fitted with a ImmersionRC 600mw video transmitter with spironet antenna, i use the gopro's direct video out for FPV as well, so it can record and be used as FPV cam at the same time. I bought FatShark attitude goggles.
The Phantom is super fun in manual mode were you can do flips and rolls!
If you want a more stable video platform than go for the much larger f550, its about 2x bigger but can lift much more weight.
My config for the f550:
DJI f550 frame
DJI Wookong M flight computer
Spectrum dx8 tx and rx
Aearoxcraft landing gear
Aeroxcraft Gopro gimbal with belt drive for smooth video
castle BEC
ImmersionRC 600mw video tx
Gopro hero 3 black used for video and fpv
A small dedicated FPV cam when i am not using the Gopro
2x zippy 5amp lipo packs in parallel gives me 19 mins of flight and plenty of power
Spectrum telemetry module to watch my voltages
Spironet polarized antenna's, Fatshark goggle
My next quad will be a TBS discovery as it's and amazing platform for FPV and with the EZuhf you can fly many miles away.
