    Barely used batteries with poor life (4200mAh)?

    Ok thank you. Mine show over new capacity as well. I'll see what happens with them as I continue to fly full cycles on them and post up what I'm seeing. One factor I didn't consider (which may not be huge) is that I'm at around 6500ft base altitude so my motors are working a little harder...

    Barely used batteries with poor life (4200mAh)?

    That is correct. I mixed up the mAh specification with the cell voltage (in mV). I don't like to have my phantom on and hooked up to assistant for long because it drives my dog nuts with the chime so I mixed that up. However there is a friendlier way to point out my confusion. So let me...

    Barely used batteries with poor life (4200mAh)?

    I would like to see what other people are getting as well. As I stated, regardless of whether I pulled off an 18 minute flight or not, it doesn't justify having nearly new batteries with 4200mAh at 98% and one of them not matching cell levels. If I got 18 minute flights every time I would...

    Barely used batteries with poor life (4200mAh)?

    So what about the batteries not even meeting specification (5200mAh)? False advertising or do I have bad batteries? 18 minutes is probably the longest flight time I have had. A few weeks ago I had a 7 and 9 minute flights with these two batteries, respectively. Unfortunately I didn't have...

    Barely used batteries with poor life (4200mAh)?

    Hello! I bought my P2 Vision+ a few months ago and have done around a dozen flights. I never recall getting very close to the 25 minute flight time claimed in the specs. I understand that how you fly makes a difference but after some test sessions hovering I still was not reaching 20...

    The FAA giving one of our P2V+ Pilots a bad time

    I share the feelings about the FAA trying to get ahead of the curve whatever ways they can. I work on regulatory compliance "with" the FDA and it's not much different with medical devices. I've been flirting with the idea of commercial ventures and am wondering if anyone around here has...

    Camera tilt - SOLVED

    You're a life saver! I've been chewing my nails waiting to go to the dealer. It's bittersweet when something that simple is the problem... costs some pride but no money (I'll take it). :) Thanks 4wd! Now I know what to do when my gimbal shaft gets offset as well. haha

    Fragile USB?

    For what it's worth, my laptop (USB 2.0) recognizes my Phantom with no issues, but my desktop (USB 3.0 and some glorified 3X power 2.0) does not recognize my Phantom no matter what I try. Sounds like many of you have done your research and found faulty components, but for some it may simply be...

    Camera tilt - SOLVED

    Hello, I've read through this entire thread and kudos to the folks that have put up this information. I seem to be having a slightly different gimbal issue that I haven't found anyone else having. My unit is almost new (no wrecks/hard landings). On my second flight I noticed my camera kind of...
