    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I hafta say the camera specs are a bit disappointing; hoping they were going to give it a GoPro-style upgrade, in line with the new camera body. So other than the extra range potential, you get a third axis on the gimbal to set it apart from a P2V with a two axis RP? I think I'm going to hang...

    Buying a vision , questions.

    Someone may have already mentioned it but: Get a 32GB micro-SD card for your P2V camera. It comes with a (2GB? 4GB? I forget) card, but that will probably be too limited in capacity, especially if you run a couple of batteries back-to-back (over even just one) and take a lot of HD video and...

    P2V Flytrex Mod, Inside Install..

    Good to know. On a longer flight, w/Flytrex mounted inside, I therefore predict (with zero confidence) an inverted bell shape plotted on the temperature chart: warm car...colder flight environment..increase in internal case ambient temperature (from battery) during flight. All theoretical BS, of...

    P2V Flytrex Mod, Inside Install..

    Nice find, that cable looks better! The reader housing looks more hardy, and just plain cooler. Dang, I'm gonna hafta get it and crack my P2V back open...

    P2V Flytrex Mod, Inside Install..

    I had to check the fine print on those cables, because most go micro-SD to regular SD reader. The regular SD reader means more weight and bigger footprint outside the case. It would probably work, though. I used micro-SD to micro-SD to keep it small and light. Temp: I suspect that the...

    P2V Flytrex Mod, Inside Install..

    Here is where I got the cable -- I couldn't find any shorter than 18". Its the best price I could find, but you may be able to find cheaper. It was supposed to ship from Hong Kong, but I got it in seven days from Amazon in KY...

    P2V Flytrex Mod, Inside Install..

    Just finished installing and testing my Flytrex, which I installed INSIDE my P2V. I snaked a 18" micro-SD extension cable from the Flytrex board, which I mounted inside w/double-sided 3M, right in front of the battery. Ran the cable through the chassis to the back/outside, Velcro-mounting the...

    Firmware Update Need for P2V Naza?

    Thanks, gents - much appreciated! Pull_Up you are the question and answer king, eh. You explain this stuff perfectly without making guys with wee pee brains feel like guys with wee pea brains....seriously thanks!

    Firmware Update Need for P2V Naza?

    Probably a stupid question (#1 of 2), but I noticed that the guts of the P2V has an orange "Phantom" labeled flight controller, different from the P1 and P2 Naza-M or the Naza-M v2 labels. Exactly what NAZA flight controller is in the P2V? Is it a mainboard/NAZA-M FC hybrid? Second silly...

    Poor Man's P2V Flytrex..

    Yah, I think I am done experimenting, at least with that gargantuan fitness watch. I still might strap my Garmin 405 (much smaller, lighter) to it though. More accurate, too. Or I could just be a patient person and wait for my Flytrex!

    Poor Man's P2V Flytrex..

    All right, I realize that this was a bit nutty but I did it anyway. Not sure if anyone has tried this before (why would you?), but while impatiently waiting for my Flytrex core to be delivered (along w/my Rotorpixel gimbal, but that is another story), I decided to attach my old Garmin Forerunner...

    Phantom II Vision and BTU Bluetooth Module

    Well that is disappointing, but good to know and saved me a bunch of time, thanks! Seems a bit short-sighted on DJI's part to have the mobile apps for BT configuration, but not make them available for use with the P2V as well (assuming the P2V mainboard hardware supports it). Guess I'll just...

    Phantom II Vision and BTU Bluetooth Module

    By in "the field" I really meant anywhere away from a desktop/laptop with USB. I would like to try out the NAZA-M function and modes, maybe switch back, and it would definitely be more convienient to change/switch between those settings out in the park/field, instead of having to RTB home to USB...
