    plug and play for boscam uk..

    Hi all, I'm slowly pulling together the parts for fpv for my phantom 2.. I've gone for the hobbyking 353 400mw transmitter. Now im looking for a pnp cable for this and iosd. I have tried to order one from the site in the sticky but seems to have a problem with UK counties in the billing section...

    A little bit of advice needed.

    http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 19&alt=web Hi all, I'm thinking of getting an fpv setup for my phantom 2 and h33d gopro3+. I've had a look at a load of threads and been browsing for parts on the net. As I'm in the UK I've been looking at all the uk based suppliers but while...

    Best FPV for Phantom 2 with Zenmuse H3-2D

    Im following this thread as this will be my next step also. The lowest price sticky is useful but may not work out so well for those of us in the UK? Does anyone have a nudge in the right direction for a UK supplier? I also have found the first person view site and this seems pretty good...

    Need a practice copter before I buy a Phantom 2

    I've found the phantom easy to fly. That's not to say that the time spent flying other quads and some helis hasn't been in vain. I think it has been useful and I think if you can at least have a go on cheap quad it will help. I've recently bought a little x4 quad to fly around hotel rooms as I...

    Phantom 2, h3 3d and gopro 3+ won't turn on.

    Just to update for anyone finding this thread in the future.. After running updates and going through all the gopro suggestions. Gopro are taking it back to either fix or replace as we reached a dead end! So hopefully good news!

    Phantom 2, h3 3d and gopro 3+ won't turn on.

    Thanks, I'll give that a go. It seems that the problem is still evident even when not connected to the phantom..

    Phantom 2, h3 3d and gopro 3+ won't turn on.

    Many thanks for the replies guys. The gopro has had an easy life, nothing extreme and probably only 5 battery cycles max. I'm still using the provided usb plug and ribbon until the conversion plug arrives from China! I'll inspect it for damage and may replace with the spare ribbon and see what...

    understanding the initial gps cali...

    That's the compass calibration you're doing there. I believe it needs to be done the first time and if you move away from your regular flying spot. The gps is fixed when you have the constantly green flashing lights at the rear. (The solid red ones show where the front of the craft is)

    Phantom 2, h3 3d and gopro 3+ won't turn on.

    Hi all, Brilliant forum and has been very helpful sorting a few niggles. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar problem? I've flown the new phantom 2 once with the camera and gimble and filmed a little bit no problem. I turned the camera on first then transmitter and finally the phantom...

    P2 v2 - with gopro 3+ black million dollar question

    No worries Mrsweep. Got mine in the air today, very breezy but all good. Took a while to get the calibration on the tilt wheel sorted but all seems fine now. Had an extremely (steady) dull video of the back garden and the roof which I will save you from!
