One more question Will a P2 Vision or P2 Vision + board work as a substitute ?

Good Morning: I recently obtained a generic P2 shell from E-Bay. It has a cover for the battery compartment so I am able to use my 5400 mhz batteries without any further modification of the door. There were a few quality control issues with the product but all in all it is perfect. After...

Thank you for your response. I just learned that I my problem was my inability to read Chinese. The pictures on the dip switches are exactly the opposite of what they should be. For example, the DIP is black and the switches are white. So a picture with four white squares pointed down...

Hello: I just purchased the two items (separately) in order to create a FPV setup that would not interfere with my 5.8ghz transmitter. I also purchased an inexpensive monitor. I hooked up all the items correctly, checked my connections, and keep getting a "NO SIGNAL" message on my display...

Hello: That particular transmitter is a 5.8ghz which is the same frequency as an FC40. It will interfere with the controller and you will be in a world of hurt. For FPV on an FC40 you need to use another frequency. There are several inexpensive and quality 2.4ghz units out there and some...

Here is a link on how to modify the door if you wish to use the larger battery. I used a Dremel tool, and only needed to shave the top and the bottom but not the side.

I have read that for long term storage a 50% charge is the best for this type of battery, but have no clue how to get to that point. If you only have one battery, you definitely should buy a second and have them both charged on the day of flight. Again, 13 minutes is outstanding time. My unit...

13 minutes is excellent with a stock battery. If you purchased the unit used, there is no idea how much use the battery had, so I would say that is really good time. Extra batteries are a must with these early units. I noticed an immediate improvement in performance with the 9450...

Enjoy !

If you are using the FC40 camera, you are limited to the FC40 app. It is primarily just a camera control. Several of the manufacturers of alternate cameras have similar apps, but the range is very limited. To the best of my knowledge there are no apps for the FC40 beyond the GroundStation...

I might add, that tinkering with the quad has been as much fun as flying it.

What time its it in Great Brittan ?

Yes, there is a an app that works with the camera. Finding it is not always easy. As the instructions that come with the camera are in very poor English. Mine were in Spanish. The camera will create its own virtual network and you can use an iPhone, iPad, or Andriod device to connect...

Dear Scottwillo: There are a plethora of GoPro knock-offs out there. Not to mention knock-offs of the knock-offs. The one I purchased has a 2" viewing screen on the back and is capable of 4K at 15 frames per second. I use 2.7K at 30 frames per second and am quite happy. I purchased it on...

The camera is only okay. There are several GoPro knock-offs with much better technology. One of the threads showed the FC40 camera Velcro-ed to the battery door for use as an FPV camera only. Not a bad use. I tried it, but after 50 feet or so, I lost my signal.
