    P2V+ Gimbal Motor Error, software caused?? Help!

    Ive had almost exact same problem and no idea how to fix this. Please let us know if you're dealer helps. No luck getting a hold of DJI either. Currently in queue and waiting on response via email.

    Should I cancel my order from DJI?

    I have absolutely zero regrets cancelling my DJI direct order and getting from Dave's Discount Motors. I don't know if they have in stock any more, but if they do, you can probably have your copter in hand tomorrow (!). I had a very tight time frame to video tape what I was buying the camera...

    Photogrammetry

    MikesTooLz: I got two separate quotes on the eBee Ag version of the Sensefly model, and they were around $25,000. If you received way better quotes or looked into less expensive models, I'd love to hear.

    any input on this charger?

    I could be wrong, but I have been allowing very little downtime. I had a very tight window to film two days ago and had to get 3 flights in back-to-back. Obviously there is still about 2 mins of downtime to switch over, but I had zero problems whatsoever.

    any input on this charger?

    Because a malfunction is possible and it's not worth risking an exploding battery or a fire. What would you rather, flip a little switch, or fall asleep every night knowing there's a 0.01% chance you'll wake up to a fire caused by your own negligence? Instructions clearly say to unplug the...

    any input on this charger?

    Check out this thread here: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12913 I also was considering an overnight charge, but to me, it's not worth the risk. I'm getting the lipo bags as well - given DJI's track record, I'm not taking anything for granted. That said, the batteries tend to recharge in less than 90...

    any input on this charger?

    Personally, I would NEVER use one of those, but I think a lot of guys on here do. I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford extra chargers - I have 5 chargers for my 6 batteries. BH was selling a 2 battery + extra charger set when I ordered all my accessories, so I only needed to purchase a few...

    First attempt

    Very nice!! I'm sure I speak for others when I say that I'd love to see a 1080 version.

    Warning: always stop video before shutdown

    THANK YOU!!! That worked, amazingly. I tried about 2 dozen various free/trial ware programs, and none worked. I tried manually copying over header info in a hex file editor, and didn't work. I was about to use this tool, which successfully created previews of the file after scanning it...

    Warning: always stop video before shutdown

    Folks, A few times now I've failed to stop recording the video before shutting down the Phantom. In more than one instance, the resulting file is cut short about 20-30 seconds. On a related note, I had a crash where the battery came out after a hard landing. Oddly, the device never created a...

    Phantom Vision+ Wind

    Very, very windy day. Should show you how stable the P2V+ remains. Was so windy that the flag tore in two pieces overnight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQea-2YIT-8 Hope that helps.

    Battery charger / adapter over charge question

    Thanks guys! (+ Skyhighdiver) Looks like those would be especially important while traveling via airline. I have yet to leave them charging over night, but I always try to be sure I know the limits to things. Thanks again for your help.
