    Dying Wifi Module (reduced range). Is there a fix?

    Hi Guys, it seems like my 2nd wifi module is now also dying. I haven't flown in a while and now I consistently experience that my video signal will freeze at about a 3rd the distance I can usually fly in that location. I switch most other equipment (wifi repeater, antennas) to no avail, which...

    Parabolic signal reflectors Do they work?

    Yes they do work and they are commonly referred to as windsurfers. Your signal however is a lot more directional, so be sure to point your tx in the general direction of the bird. Sent from my FEVER using PhantomPilots mobile app

    I can barely get 2800' feet before losing signal. Why?

    Are you flying in Europe, afaik DJI automatically limits transmission power in Europe to accommodate local laws?

    Lichi Missions: Height of waypoints not honored?

    Hi Mark, thanks for your reply. 'You' (are you a/the litchi programmer?) definitely do have banked turns in the P2V+ Version, in fact that's why I wanted to give it a try. About my issue: you where completely right, not having the banked turn option on at a waypoint makes the mission honour the...

    Lichi Missions: Height of waypoints not honored?

    Hi all, I am new to Lichi (the P2V+ free Android Version). I did some experiments with the Lichi Missions mode and have some concerns regarding the height of waypoints. In the DJI P2+ Vision app, using groundstation it seems that heights of waypoints are always honored, meaning if the phantom...

    Vision 2+ wifi units fix and why they are dying.

    Hi all, I just did this mod (adding heat paste to the wifi module) and I now lost quite a bit of FPV (down from approx 500 to approx 300 Meters) does anybody have an idea what could cause this. One thing I did was cut the copper tape: Could this be the culprit, and if yes would some aluminum...

    How & where is the compass calibration data kept?

    Afaik, GPS only provides a location but not a direction, so the phantom simply doesn't know which way to fly?

    A couple of questions regarding motors (not spinning)

    Hi all, I went for a quick flight and soon after take of the (battery) alarm went of, I had this happen to me once before so I was eager to get the bird near the ground as quick as possible, so I descended over a grassy field hoping a potential crash would be softer on the grass. Anyway it...

    replaced V+ gimbal cable and then this happend...:

    Hi Guys, thank you all for your help! I worked some more on it and it seems that the ribbon cable (at the base board) wasn't attached correctly, after fiddling with it I finally got into another state. Unfortunately it still has errors. Now I have the Gimbal beep-beep-beep sequence (3 beeps)...
