    My Phantom 2 FPV shopping list,,,

    I purchased the exact same items from that online retailer except the antenna and BP holder. I did add to my order the extra battery for the BP and my experience with them was very good. As for antenna I went with FPVR combo and with with carbon fiber mount that I slighty modified.

    FPV - worth the leap ?

    I have same setup but I also ordered this cable to go with my Immersion Tx600 and Black Pearl. I also upgraded my antennas which comes highly recommended as a FPV must do. http://www.dpcav.com/xcart/Video-Cable-for-Phantom2-with-DJI-iOSD-Mini-and-Zenmuse-ImmersionRC-FatShark.html

    Black pearl

    I went with the Black Pearl 7ch and Immersion 600mW for that reason. I ordered the BP, spare battery, video Tx, DJI mini iOSD and the plug and play cable from Digital Products Company. Other than changing the antennas (FPVR combo) all has been perfectly fine so far. Here's a link from a...

    FPV Everything-inside-Build??

    Same here! Anti-Interference board, CanBus and iOSD mini all inside, everything except the ImmersionRC 600mW which is mounted on the belly with 3M double sided tape. Here's a though to consider, even with it mounted outside, it's still warm once I land. I can't imagine how much hotter it may...

    Which model Futaba to buy and and where to buy it?

    For myself the upgrade to the Futaba was more for the finer controls and gimbal control.

    Which model Futaba to buy and and where to buy it?

    The Futaba sold from DSLR PROS came with the self centering installed along with their custom programming for the P2. It also came with the Futaba RGC08SB transmitter, though for now I''m still using the original P2 receiver. Based on YouTube videos it seems simple enough to install, I was...

    alternative for Zenmuse ribbon cable

    I'm not sure if this was ever posted, but I thought I share the link for another alternative cable (Made in the USA) to the original DJI cable for those like me that are using the Zenmuse H3-3D ribbon cable. It's not cheap, but suppose to be stronger. The price for the cable is 8.49 +shipping...

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    Thanks Photomcmillan, Ian and N017RW, I'll give that I try by flipping the Futaba SF switch back to exit out of Failsafe the next time I take my P2 up.

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    Using my Futaba T8FGS with the programmed Failsafe switch (SF) on Ianwood's T8FGS profile v5 for Phantom 2, is there a way to cancel out of the failsafe process that the P2 initiates after it kicks in and begins to return? Is it as simple as pushing the SF switch back up (away) and resume...

    Black Pearl 7 Attachment Screw

    Just like Tony said it's a pretty standard 1/4 20 screw used commonly in photographic gear that you can pick up at a camera store and even at your local hardware store (thumb screw version). Otherwise feel free to place an order for this cool looking 1/4 20 screw...
