    BT-200 glasses with Mavic Air 2?

    Thanks for that info. Using the BT casting is an interesting idea that I'll give some thought, but for now I'll continue to use the MM with a 10.5" Samsung tablet and the sun hood I made for it.

    BT-200 glasses with Mavic Air 2?

    Thanks John. I guess I'll have to continue using the BT-200 glasses with the Phantom. I have a Mavic Mini that I was going to sell to buy the MA2, but I might hold off on that purchase because of the Moverio glasses issue, and keep the Mini for now.

    BT-200 glasses with Mavic Air 2?

    I use the BT-200 glasses with my Phantom 2 and they work great. Thinking about getting the Air 2, but only if the glasses will work with them. Anyone successfully use them with the Mavic Air 2?

    How to downgrade firmware from 3.14? Lost live preview...

    I think the Phantom is rated for 4 water landings, and after exceeding that the wifi module could take no more....LOL! Since everything is working fine, I'll keep the newest firmware. One downside, is that I can't make an emergency descent. At the lake, you will occasionally have seaplanes...

    Blank video screen of death

    Yes, I had the same BSOD issue with mine and replacing the wifi module did the trick. The new module has better cooling, but they covered the side holes with foil tape. I opened my new V3 module to apply waterproofing (I always fly over water) and didn't re-apply the foil tape. Every little...

    Procedure for using new NPVT581 remote with P2V+

    An absolutely great upgrade, especially if you can get one at a great price. I was lucky to snag and "open box" unit on eBay for a great price. I did the mod to the remote, that lowers the thumb wheel pan time, which was a waste of time. I should have tried the remote before doing the mod, as...

    Foil tape on wifi module question

    Justin, Nice work on those mods. I wish I was able to do that kind of programming. I am a computer school dropout, but that was back in 1971, and our computer was an IBM 360. My cell phone has a million times the computing power, as compared to that room filling computer. Anyway, I'm using...

    How to downgrade firmware from 3.14? Lost live preview...

    Everything is working perfectly with the new wifi module. I don't know whether the firmware upgrade killed the original module, the fact that it was under-cooled, the booster app I use, or the fact that my Phantom has crash landed in a lake 5'xs! Maybe a combination of all the above. BTW, I...

    Foil tape on wifi module question

    Justin00, Can you give a link showing how to use Linux for a tx upgrade? I know they use Linux to beef up home wireless routers, but didn't know it worked on the tx. I used the Boost Up app yesterday and so far it hasn't fried the new module! BTW, the new tx (remote) with the gimbal dial is...

    Foil tape on wifi module question

    Between the thermal paste, which was already applied, and the thermal pad, it's probably not necessary to mess with it. I added a dot of thermal paste, since I had it open, and I upset the paste they had applied. You should be ok to use as is. BTW, you're lucky to get a deal on the new...

    Foil tape on wifi module question

    If you are handy and still have a working original module, i would disassemble it and drill a slew of tiny holes. Of course , havin a hobby type moni drillpress would make the job 100 percent easier. While its open add some thermal paste. There are youtube videos on how to add the paste.

    Foil tape on wifi module question

    Yes, I'll monitor my flights and see if I encounter any problem. Hopefully if I do see anything negative it will be on the 2.4 side, and not the 5.8. BTW, the newer modules now have a heat transfer thermal pad added. Hopefully that, and all the tiny holes, will keep them from going bad.

    Foil tape on wifi module question

    I just replaced my wifi module with the new version. This version has many holes in it for cooling. I disassembled it to coat the circuit board with Corrosion-X, to waterproof it. I fly almost 100% over water, so I like to waterproof as much as I can on the Phantom. So far the waterproofing...

    How to downgrade firmware from 3.14? Lost live preview...

    OK, all is well again. I installed the new wifi module and that brought everything back. I won't mess with installing any earlier versions of the firmware. I need a version that will support the new gimbal dial on the new remote, so I'm limited to recent releases. Of course, after installing...
