Does anyone know the safe lift weights for the PA3 and where the center of gravity is? Also has anyone found a nice set of leg extensions.

Off the top of my head 1300g comes to mind.  You can check the spec page and the wiki for the load limit.

I kinda like these snap-on/off extenders for these reasons:
> raise the gimbal to keep grass and debris away.
> ability to easily remove so Phantoms would fit in unmodified hard cases.
> interchangeable between different Phantoms

While I certainly can't say they will protect from me every possible crash scenario -- I don't fly without them!

The last one shown is the only one that will fit on the phantom 3 and at $60 plus shipping it's just too pricey for me

From one of my previous experiences the money was well worth it!  The P2V+ (v3)  in the middle of the photo got caught in a Vortex Ring State and bounced off my asphalt driveway.  The fortunate thing for me that I discovered by accident (pun intended) was the one undocumented feature of some 3D printed leg extenders.  They went flying off in all directions when it crashed and I thought at that moment I was witnessing $1300 turned to junk.  What astonished me was that the Phantom had ZERO damage other that a grass stain where it landed after bouncing off the asphalt!  Turns out the leg extenders acted like shock absorbers / crumple zones and took the brunt of the impact.  As I said before -- I don't fly without them!
