    Battery drops from 40 to 6% in 10 seconds!

    Was not latest firmware. It was about 100ft out. Wouldn't have made it back. The copter was descending and not responding to my controls - could've been 16% but it was 40% just 10 seconds before. It was 7ºC, and I've flown in much harsher conditions in the past. Has to be a bad battery.

    Battery drops from 40 to 6% in 10 seconds!

    I just put a fully charged battery on my P2 and did some passes of some mini icebergs at the edge of Lake Michigan. When my FPV readout said I was at 40%, I decided to do one final pass, but after about 10 seconds of flight, the battery read out on my iOSD became 6%, and to my horror, the drone...

    decent FPV screen thats cheaper than black pearl?

    Hi, I have the Boscam RX LCD-5802 with FPVLR aerials, but I've noticed I get onscreen interference when the signal switches between RF-A and RF-B (the visible blue lights jump about). Could that be a faulty RX? Thanks

    Bad video connection when flexing antenna

    I tried some new antennae today and experienced a problem with my video transmit signal. Black screen at first, then video signal appears when flexing the connection of the TX antenna - PLUS - an intermittent iOSD Mini signal as well. So it can't be the antenna - is it the Boscam transmitter or...

    Moving 360 slowly

    I tried to turn the gain down for the yaw on the assistant app on the computer, but that never seems to work. I wonder why not.

    Will the P2 spin up after unplugging the gimbal?

    Just wondering after I disconnected a faulty gimbal, and now it's in pieces. P2 now fails to start up its motors. Thanks

    ZenMuse retrofit to Vision+?

    Thank you. Are there any clear advantages to using the Vision+ over the P2?

    ZenMuse retrofit to Vision+?

    Hello, Does anyone know if I can retrofit an H3-3D gimbal and GoPro to a P2V+? Is it pretty much the same unit as the P2? I have a broken/salt drowned P2 and want to swap out my bits including the gimbal and FPV and iOSD Mini to another working quad body. Cheers

    P2 recovery after salt water flooding

    Update and question: The beeping is coming from one motor in particular - that must be the bad ESC right? Thanks

    P2 recovery after salt water flooding

    Thank you guys. I think I should replace the flooded PCBs to be sure. NB., My Hero3+ suffered the same fate and had been left to dry in salt before a full tear-down and alcohol clean yesterday - I switched it on with a new battery, and it worked! I wonder what makes it more durable than the...

    P2 recovery after salt water flooding

    Thanks, So the flashing amber LEDs show that its respective ESC is bad? (ie the two rear ones) How about the beeping? I just checked the bb...bb...bb... explanation on the wiki - it denotes abnormal input power apparently.

    P2 recovery after salt water flooding

    Hi everyone, I'm in the process of reviving my P2 after a dip in the sea when I was on holiday. It was submerged under about 3 ft of water for about 5 minutes (after having hit a pole next to the water). I dried it out and ditched the battery. Eventually I cleaned it and the gimbal and the...

    What part do I need to replace?

    Hi, I did the same thing, but when I switched it on after cleaning, LEDs lit up red, half beeped and some smoke came out. I've identified a blown ESC but what do the red LEDs mean?
