    Do you hate the ribbon as much as I did?

    Hey thanks for sharing. I am in the same situation. I pulled out the H3-3D out of the box, and bam there goes the ribbon cable, cut in half. Still don't know if it was sent like that or I broke it. Anyway after a lot of practice I managed to put in the replacement one that comes with it. I...

    Brand new H3-3D Faulty

    Hey CaptainSalty Same issue on mine. I dont have plastic pins on the back. I dont have clearance issue as I have 2 layers of washers to space things out. Additional issue: when I pitch the gopro then Gimbal will lean to the left on the way down and slowly comes back to place on the way up...

    You fly around NYC? Don't you have drifting issues?

    My experience with the Phantom 2, H3-2D then 3D, so far

    From what I have read: v 1: Connect to the go pro by the back interface, just like the 2d did. Still powers the gopro v1.1 Connect using the usb port using the fragile ribbon cable, no longer power the gopro. More here: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=15028

    My experience with the Phantom 2, H3-2D then 3D, so far

    I know, like I said: But it doesn't make it right. Never thought you'd have to put so much research before buying. I mean there should be a warning about the vortex ring effect in the manual. Instead you have to come here. The H3-3D thinghy really is the biggest BS. You buy a product that...

    And so it begins.... v1.1 H3-3D ribbon cable failures !

    I got mine, and just when I pulled the thing out of the box, boom there goes the ribbon. Still not sure if it was shipped like that or I broke it. Fortunately there is another one included, but when this one will break where do I get another one???

    My experience with the Phantom 2, H3-2D then 3D, so far

    Yeah I guess I still should consider myself lucky I didn't have any crash or flyaways. Funny thing though: I was considering getting the prop guards to be extra safe. That would have made my copter heavier and I definitely would have crashed the first time I got caught in my own turbulences...

    My experience with the Phantom 2, H3-2D then 3D, so far

    I am talking about the stock antennas that comes with the immersion RC 600mw and the BlackPearl diversity monitor. I find the range of the phantom controller to be great. The magnetic issue I mention after is just related to your geographic location. You can check the magnetic declination of...

    I can't believe this. My experience with the Phantom 2 keeps going downhill ever since the first time I played with it. - Get it, unbox it, calibrate, fly around in a 20 meters radius, be amazed like a kid at christmas - Realize you need an FPV system, research all the possibilities. - Solder...
