    new motors.

    Hello all, looking to replace the motors on my 1.1.1. Mangled propeller threads on 2 and the other 2 making way too much noise to be good. I have seen the stock replacements on the Bay for between $15 and $20. Also seen aftermarket sets for over $150. I don't want to spend beyond the value...

    P3 for selfie drone/family photos/videos??

    I have been following Lily. To me it's a great idea, but it's also incomplete. I suppose that's usually the case for a V.1 product. The buy in price has gone up from when they first started, and I'm not sure it's really worth the asking price anymore. Either way I plan to pick up a P3P with...

    P3 for selfie drone/family photos/videos??

    I've long owned both a P1 and a FC40, love them both for different reasons. Recently considered picking up a Lily drone for its auto pilot and selfie features and apparent simplicity. My question is will the P3 do some or all of the Lily automatic photo/video taking with the help of the...

    FC-40 shell or P2 shell

    I thought FC40 only because it's basically identical to the P1, they just moved yet USB plug to a dedicated hole in the body. No long grey USB cable inside anymore. Figured it would be very straight forward.

    FC-40 shell or P2 shell

    Decided that a neighbors tree was too tall and attempted to trim it with my P1.1.1, not really but close enough. As a result the darn tree tossed me into a fence, the back side of a garage, then finally the dirt. So seems like a good time to re attach a broken arm and find a few upgrades along...

    Data link install??

    I passed on the setup, figured that while I love my 1.1.1, it might be time to start saving for a P3.

    Compass location

    Just buttoned up my 1.1.1 after yet another tear down. Did an internal install of an iOSD and ImmersionRC 600, with a PnP cable to tie it all together. Wanting to clean things up a bit inside I relocated the compass the opposite leg from stock, still on the rear along with the gimbal control...

    Data link install??

    Found a data link kit for a seemingly good price. However the documentation says its for a P2. Is it possible to install on a P1, and be fully functional?

    H3-3D problem on Phantom 1 v.1.1.1 with upgrade board (no external GCU)

    Here ha go, all numbers taken from the Mac version of Nazam Main controller, 4.06 GPS, 6.0.1.3 Receiver, 1.0.1.3 P330CB-H3-2D, 1.1.2.1. *note it list my 3D as a 2D, strange still works in 3D IMU, 1.4 It doesn't list a GCU at all, same with a PMU but my guess is that's because they are part of...

    H3-3D problem on Phantom 1 v.1.1.1 with upgrade board (no external GCU)

    I've had the update board V3 installed for about a week now, no special mods beyond that. The tilt on my H3-3D has always been proportional to the position of the lever on the transmitter. Meaning, if I slowly move it from lock to lock, the H3 slowly follows from its lock to lock. I stop half...

    Install onto P1 (P330D)

    Just did this on my FC40, went really well actually. You'll need 3 items. The Zenmuse of your choice H3/H4, the Phantom 1 upgrade board Part #25, and the Mounting Adapter Part #3 (includes slightly longer landing gear). Install the upgrade board per the DJI instructions, takes a hot soldering...

    Upgrade board CAN bus port wire??

    Thank you much for the tips guys, sorry for not properly introducing my self. Either way found the plugs I was looking for after a lot of searching. The plug that goes into the upgrade board does indeed come with a few DJI items, just got one with my H3-3D. The other plug was the hard one to...

    Upgrade board CAN bus port wire??

    On the V3 upgrade board there is an actual CAN bus plug. I was wondering if anyone had found it made a wire to make use of this plug. More specifically has anyone found a source for the proper plug to fit into the board, as well as a source for the needed DJI plug to make a complete wire.
