    How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gimbal

    Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim If one axis is damaged will it always thrash on all axis as a result? My issue is it all appears normal, its unclear which axis to try and force apart assuming one must be damaged. has anyone had a nicked or scratched cable creating...

    How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gimbal

    Re: How to fix a vibrating / shaking / crazy P2V+ camera gim Have the same issue after hard landing but everything looks in order. I took off the back cap and checked the camera screw. Is their any way to watch the flailing to figure out which joint is causing the problem? It doesn't appear...

    Improved GPS reception?

    Did you run your cable under everything or just the aluminum layer? I wonder if it helps isolating the cable from the gps too not just the stuff below?

    Improved GPS reception?

    Thanks for letting me know, did you move the cable as well or just add the phone (I mean move the cable under the shield)? I am thinking perhaps this is the help but added more shield because I had it open anyhow. The wire for PS is a little bent (I saw it putting pressure / dents in the 3...

    satellites drop slightly when recording video - SOLVED

    Does anyone else already have shielding in place (instead of 1 layer of soft sticky, there is 3 layers with 2 copper shield layers? I posted here as well: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=19402&p=196330#p196330 but it seems we have two threads on the same topic.

    Improved GPS reception?

    It looks like DJI has made changes since this video was taken. There are now 3 layers of foam with 2 copper shields: Instead of a cut through top the top, there is a little slit for the cable. I still moved the cable under, but it seems at othe rpostiion, there is some pressure (the lid...

    Camera tilt - SOLVED

    The little dot above the pin should be pointing straight up if your arm is not bent. I think mine is too correct for this adjustment (gross adjust) for fine adjust must happen in software!

    Camera tilt - SOLVED

    Have a small tilt can other post the circuit board / pin shot like this? If looking at the front it tilts from left to right (higher on the right) and also yaws the same direction (right when looking front). It just needs calibration there is no bending or visible damage or defect with the gimbal.

    What can I do with a DJI extra controller?

    Is it possible to bind one phantom to 2 controllers? I very much want to do a shot that could only be done with 2 operators and a controller handoff. To go out up through a forest canopy then when above someone else with line of sight fly it back. I understand having two inputs at the same...

    Camera tilt - SOLVED

    I have a minor tilt that just came gradually and is very subtle but also very annoying. I have never had even a hard landing (hand catch) but think just putting on the gimbal clamp may be the issue or turning off the lens cap? It could also be the latest firmware, there are so many variables...

    P2V+, Controller losing connection to Quad-copter

    I only use eneloop rechargables and disagree with using alkalines. I charge them every 6 flights but don't have to (plenty of juice). I also carry a spare set in my flight bag.

    Scared S***less !

    Biggest tip I can offer is: 1) fly in big open field 2) use full power on takeoff and when up a couple feet ease off. All tip overs I had were before learning this 3) on landing, full power off and hold down, do not try the CSC (to stop the motors ever) the movement of the sticks often gives...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range Has anyone tested (or can the author confirm) the booster app works with firmware 3.04? Just wanting to confirm it works before buying it.

    Advice for new pilots of the phantom 2 vision+

    Agreed, until video is a priority P2V is better. I had both, and video is a huge leap better with the plus but one crash and you pay $800 vs $0 with vision standard (most likely perhaps $20 for props). Given the cost of gimbal replacement, must cheaper to learn to fly on original phantom for...

    Reduce control sensitivity?

    You can adjust the gains using the assitant computer software however I have read that people didn't have positive experiences (it affects flight performance in windy conditions). Experiment with 10% changes only until you find something you like. Would be ideal to have on a switch...
