what fun to have P2V+ without cam & gimbal? I took the camera and gimbal assembly off the phantom due to the Wi-Fi module not working issue. I'll make a separate post about what I know regarding that. So now my son has a really neat flying drone. I'm looking for fun ideas what else to do with...

I don't mind as long as I can have fun. The paranoid can fly home built if they are truly concerned.

I took the camera and gimbal off my P2 because of a defective onboard Wi-Fi module to to let my young son learn to fly. Then I realized I don't know how to set the return to home altitude and other settings? Any tips?

I haven't flow my Phantom in quite a while. Does anyone recall what are the latest software & firmware versions for the phantom and the RC controller? I had the latest version about a year and a half ago but don't want to upgrade now if everything is working fine.

This topic along with dozens of similar videos was popular a few years ago. No solution was found and either the incidents have reduced or people lost interest.

So sad. This was highlighted to me when I bought prop guards from the dealer multirotorheli.ca I am very grateful for that tip.

Can a P2V+ battery charger be repurposed to power a 12vdc 2-5 A travel cooler? Or other 12 vdc items?

Did you get your drone back? A hotel with access to technology sophisticated enough to limit your range with a few minutes notice? That kind of tech is still quite expensive to buy. And if they did use a homebrew system chances are quite good it was interfering with everyone else's Wi-Fi so I...

The Parrot Disco does not return on low battery during manual control nor when on a waypoint mission. DJI has the same feature of not returning on low battery when on a waypoint mission. But DJI dOES return upon low battery when in manual control.

But easier to loose than DJI drones.... sigh.

Did you find that the Mavic air active track could only follow if the phantom seemed to be on the ground? That is if you take the phantom above the horizon does the Mavic air still track it?

I've got a P2V+ and I'm wondering if I go slow enough with it my Mavic air could follow?

They are quite rugged I found out after I fell out of trees on three separate times retrieving it from my early mistakes.

Tried a 300 watt 12vdc to 120vac converter to power a switching power charger for another device. The 300 W converter went into fail mode and wouldn't work even given a few tries.

I have the standard 120 VAC charging system that comes with the Phantom. I also have an older 12 VDC to 120 VAC inverter to plug into a cigarette lighter plug. Does anyone see any issues with me using the inverter as the 120 VAC supply for the Phantom battery charger?
