    i feel the need, the need for (more) speed

    try searching the forum for gunslinger, i think. he had it available for download somewhere. also try searching in the Phantom 2 forum using "1.08" as your criteria. i'm pretty sure there are other sources on the web that have it stored. i have 1.08 on my wife's laptop (i'm an apple guy and...

    i feel the need, the need for (more) speed

    Downgrade your firmware to 1.08. I've been on 1.08 specifically for the speed. All the firmware updates after 1.08 limited the max tilt angle which limits speed. If use Ground a Station, it won't work with 1.08, but that's a trade-off I don't mind.

    Air Blade Antennas

    I've used the air blade, cloverleaf, and mad mushroom as transmitter antennas and I honestly haven't been able to tell the difference. The biggest difference I noticed was changing to a helical on the receiver end. Currently, I'm using the air blade with an Immerision 600mw transmitter and a 5...

    Finally got my Dominator HD's!

    Rather get into the technical jargon (I don't feel qualified for that), I'll give a layman's perspective. They're nice, but not a substantial improvement from the Attitude V 2.0. I wasn't expecting an enormous difference, but I did expect the wider FOV and higher resolution to be noticeable...

    Will these antennas work?

    The Spironet antennas work pretty well. You'll have to check the type of antennas to make sure they work. I have the 7 channel BP to use with the Fatshark channels and the antenna is RP-SMA. I thought it was supposed to be SMA, but I had some RP-SMA antennas so they worked fine. Just make...

    Finally got my Dominator HD's!

    Yeah, I would've done that known. It comes with the headtracker, that I probably won't use. I'd rather have the receiver module. One more thing, they make two versions. One is compatible with the Fatshark channels and the other is compatible with the Boscam/Foxtech channels.

    Lookie what I just bought [Probably a Scam]

    Whereas I think this a scam, I would've tried to buy it. Believe it or not, E-Bay's Buyer Protection works very well. Last summer, I saw a deal for P2 H3-3D combo NIB for $400. Seemed like a scam, but I went for it. I never received any shipping notices and the seller never responded to my...

    Finally got my Dominator HD's!

    It was like catching a unicorn. I've been trying to get a set for the last 6 months to no avail. I really didn't want to put the in a pre-order seeing that most vendors could not quote a delivery date. Every now and then, I peruse E-Bay in hopes finding that listing. Sure enough, I found an...

    Autonomy

    You still have control of the gimbal when using Ground Station.

    BTU...

    Here's the deal: the Naza in the Phantom 2 is not the same as the Naza-M V2. The BTU works with the Naza-M V2 allowing you to make changes through the bluetooth. This function does not work on the Phantom 2 because it's a different Naza. So, yes, you wasted $50 on the BTU if you have a...

    Phantom 2 + ImmersionRC 5.8ghz CRASH (need advice!)

    Whereas I agree a good satellite lock is important, I'm comfortable taking off with as few as 5 satellites. I get impatient and it seems like forever trying to get to a 7 satellite lock. I may launch with 5 satellites, but usually within 15-20 seconds it'll acquire 7+ satellites, and within a...

    Phantom 2 + ImmersionRC 5.8ghz CRASH (need advice!)

    Sorry to hear about your troubles, it sucks when stuff like that happens. I'm using the same exact equipment you've listed, and have never had the control problems you've described. I really do not think your loss of control is related to your FPV set-up unless it's related to your wiring...
