    Which screws go where on P2 v3.0 mainboard?

    The list you posted appears to note a single type of Phillips screw for the main board / receiver. Can anyone chime in about the difference in the use of the 2 similar, but slightly different Phillips screws pictured?

    Which screws go where on P2 v3.0 mainboard?

    Did you have the 2 different types of phillips screws as the arrows point to in this image or only 1 type?

    Which screws go where on P2 v3.0 mainboard?

    There appear to be 8 different types of screws. 2 different types of phillips screws for the main board and/or receiver boards.

    Which screws go where on P2 v3.0 mainboard?

    Do you know which of the two types of Phillips screws I was pointing at are for the receiver and main board? The ESCs use the short Phillips countersunk screw (pictured between the the two screws I was pointing at).

    Which screws go where on P2 v3.0 mainboard?

    It looks like there are 2 different but somewhat similar in appearance screws holding down the mainboard in the Phantom 2 v3.0. Does anyone know where these two types of screws go? All of the others are fairly distinctive, so I was able to figure them out from photos online.

    Cheap BGC Gimbal clone mounting on Phantom 2 v2.0?

    Unfortunately no, the plate doesn't have enough material to drill holes in correct spots. Here's a picture: For anyone else with a Phantom 2 v2 looking for the right plate, I ordered this one and it looks like it should fit the Phantom 2 v2, but I haven't received it yet, so I can't confirm...

    Any chance you could post a picture?

    Cheap BGC Gimbal clone mounting on Phantom 2 v2.0?

    Does anyone know where I can get a plate for one of those cheap BGC clone gimbals being sold on places like eBay and Aliexpress out of China? The mounting plate (the top metal plate that attaches to the vibration dampening balls) for the one I received doesn't line up with the threaded holes on...

    What landing gear/skid should I get for my Phantom 2 v2.0?

    In what way did you "adjust the compass"? How important is it that the compass is solidly attached the landing skid? I'm also using tape to attach my compass but tape has some room for flex, so I'm wondering if this could pose an issue in flight (haven't flown with modified setup yet). Also...

    How is the "smart" board on Phantom 2 batteries wired to the cells?

    I figured it out after taking a couple voltage measurements - the high power ground wire connects cell 1 ground to the smart board on one side. Once the battery is turned on, the switched high power ground wire connects to cell 1 ground. The smart board acts as a switch between these two...

    How is the "smart" board on Phantom 2 batteries wired to the cells?

    After reading this post on the DJI forum I had some questions about how exactly the cells are wired to the pack but unfortunately I can't post on the DJI forum yet for some reason. Anyway, does anyone know what is meant by the "switched high power ground" and "high power ground"? From what I...

    What's a lightweight, inexpensive circuit for providing 12v, 3.7-4.2v and 5v onboard?

    I'm looking to run all my extra stuff like GoPro camera (3.7-4.2v), TS832 FPV transmitter (12v) and possibly some 5v USB device in the future on a Phantom 2 I'm in the process of modding from used Phantom 2 guts (parts) I've salvaged on the cheap. I haven't invested in GoPro Hero 4 batteries...

    Exploded diagram shows which screws/bolts go where?

    I couldn't quite find anything on YouTube that details which screws and bolts go where. On the smaller screw, I want to make sure I don't cross thread anything by chance. The larger bolts are pretty obvious to me where they go.

    Why does it look like there's so much empty space on the P2 main PCB?

    Is there a reason for so much empty space on the Phantom 2 main PCB? Is it okay to mount another board in that empty space? (while of course making sure everything is insulated and secured well with no chance of short anything) I'm considering mounting the "smart" battery board in that empty...

    Exploded diagram shows which screws/bolts go where?

    Anyone know where I can find something like this? For example M3*8 bolts hold the motors, etc. My friend took apart his phantom 2 v2.0 and now wants me to help him install a new shell. All the new screws are bagged and labeled but we're uncertain where some of the smaller screws and bolts go...
