    Litchi App Luvin it - Coming Soon to a P3 Near you!

    I have both a P2V+ and P3P. I did not do any beta testing on the app for the P2V+, but I did purchase it once it was available. Now I fly the P2V+ almost exclusively due to the POI, Follow and GS for specific shots/planned footage. The controls are a lot more smooth with the P3P for random...

    900Mhz Datalink and PC Ground Station

    Before and after with two small pieces of heat shrink I started at the fat part of the plastic and just went very slow. The pins in the 90 joint come out pretty easy once you pry the ears apart. A simple cut and pry with a flat tip screw driver will get you started

    900Mhz Datalink and PC Ground Station

    I'll try to answer some of these, hopefully DronePilot can correct any misinformation.. 1) yes 2)DJI uses CAN Bus cables for many things, not sure what works with the Plus 3)With the WiFi extender on the controller turned off the 2.4Ghz GS works fine. When I was using the 2.4 I would start...

    P2V+, Data Link and Ground Station - WORKS!!!!!

    900Mhz info http://www.phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=20664 1- I found it better to just purchase the CAN-BUS Module so I could use a meter and "ring out" the wires for my self 2- I used a dremel tool and a cut off wheel in a vise and took my time cutting it all off. I ran the antenna...

    Using GS "Ground Station" with a Vision+

    Only if you want to use iOS. With out the Bluetooth a PC is your only option. If you get a chance to read all of the following it is very informative. Including all of the limitations with the 2.4Ghz on the Plus http://www.phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=18439 If you are serious about...

    Question regarding altitude and hovering

    my experience is that if the waypoint is a "stop and turn" and going to a "stop and turn" it will not depart until it has gained the elevation set for the point. It will fly thru a point with out the set elevation that is set for "bank of adaptive" YMMV.. Good Luck Chuck

    Sell P2V+ or wait it out?

    The 2.4 does work, but you are right it has it's issues. I used it for a while, even before the DJI App GS. Now that I have the 900Mhz I can get consistent round trips of >5600 meters with my current batteries (30 plus cycles) and the xtra weight on the bird (strobes,TAGG,900Mhz air...

    Sell P2V+ or wait it out?

    If Ground Station is your thing and you don't mind using a PC, then the link below is what you need with your current platform. IMHO cheeper to run the 900Mhz than switch to another platform to run the 2.4, but if you want to use iOS then you will have to change. Good Luck...
