I think it's OK, I did get it loose before lifting it and removed it without pulling anything off the board but what I found was the outer ring of the connector on the board had cracked and bent in a little, I eventually managed to tease back into a round enough shape for the new connector to...

I just installed the Itellite DBS antenna for the P2V+ today, followed the official video.. the fiddliest bit was removing the original TX antenna connector which is covered in goop, I actually damaged the connector slightly with the outer ring of the male connector cracked but I managed to get...

I was looking at the REDbird 5.8ghz repeater and while seems like a really neat product it is a little out of my price range.. I was wondering if anyone has tried to create a dual extender for both 2.4 and 5.8 for the v2+ using off the shelf components? I have an idea to mount a solar charged...

Reviving a long dead topic :) Has anyone used Polar Pro filters on the P2V+ over a longer period of time? Looking at their website they claim the filters are "Gimbal Safe" I'm just wondering if this has been proven to be true? I'm currently tossing up between GEL filters or the Polar Pro...

I want to add an ND filter to my P2V+ to enable me to use a slower shutter speed, I have a sheet of good quality ND gel and was considering DIY'ing it however I've also seen the phantomfilters.com option and the polarizer is interesting too because I often fly over water. What are the best...

Mine looks correct except for the total and max distance, I wonder if it is because I changed my account units after uploading the log? I'll play with it a bit more.

Thanks! Unfortunately this crashes for me.. I've posted details on that thread. I might have a proper look later in the week as I am a developer (albeit a lazy one :p ) [EDIT] Oops! Also someone who doesn't read the instructions.. sorted :)

What is the best solution currently for viewing flight logs from Litchi? I've tried Airdata UAV but it seems a little bit broken, for instance it shows the maximum distance as 4,756,920 meters when it was actually 1,183 m (pretty great for stock Wifi I thought). Is there a better tool? Thanks!

Thanks for that! A fan is a great idea.. I'll do it! When I opened the P2V+ I did notice the ventilated wifi module so I decided not to mess with it, another thread that gave me an attack of hypochondria was the one about the motor wires but I see on mine they are firmly held in place and...

Hi Guys, I have just purchased a near-new Phantom 2 Vision Plus v3, I'm loving it so far, using the Litchi app on a Nexus 7 which I downgraded to lollipop for the purpose. This is not my first Phantom, I have a Phantom 1.1.1 and a Phantom 2 with the H3-3D gimbal. I've been reading through...

Just FYI, the N1 OSD is all English now too, but since it only connects to the GPS rather than the flight controller it doesn't show an artificial horizon or flight mode and the height/direction values are from the GPS and a little less accurate, although it does have options for compass and...

There are some much cheaper options, if you are only interested in battery voltage you can simply connect a micro minim OSD ( less than $10) between your camera and VTX, you also need a 5v BEC to power it, I used a tiny Pololu regulator. using the MWOSD software you can turn off display for...

This FliteTest Phantom 4 video shows how the battery ejects on impact (at about 16:30)

I got it working :) Mine is the version without the case and without the pitch/roll connections, but like you I use F2 for gimbal tilt anyway. Next step is to design the custom OSD, very impressed so far!

I'm just about to install this OSD into my Phantom 1.1.1, I just wanted to make sure.. am I correct in thinking that the VTX is supplying power for the camera via the OSD? So with my Boscam TS352 VTX I would be connecting the video-in, 12v out and ground to the OSD but I would still power the...
