Can you provide step by step instructions? I have Tab S2, Ph3 and Bt200, so quite similar setup but the bt200 does not see my Tab S2 as a Wi-Fi network. Am I looking at the wrong settings ?

You get in the original box, the defective drone, the v.1 controller and one battery (cracked shell), as well as 18 props (the v.2 uses different props, so I have no need for these). I attached pictures so you can get a sense of the damage to the airframe. I am keeping the battery charger.

$300 plus shipping is the figure I have in mind. If you are confident you can more by parcelling it out, then I guess I have a deal for you :-) I don't trust myself to take it apart, and I'm not equipped to do so - no soldering iron, so imaging that ;-)

I'd rather just ship it as-is, partly because I'm not a hobbyist and wouldn't know the different between the IMU and the GPS...or any other component. :-P

My DJI Phantom Vision + (version 1) had a close encounter with a light post, then the hard pavement. Not being a hobbyist, as near as I can assess, one motor and/or an ESC is defective. As well the gimbal is doing a crazy dance although the ribbon seems undamaged. The airframe is fractured on...

Ok. What is an ESC? and what can I do about this?

When I turn the drone, the back lights have a strange combo, not listed in the manual: The leg to the left of the battery has a slow green light, but the leg to the right of the battery has a slow yellow light. Both are flashing at the same time, but not the same color. I don't know what to make...

How would a newbie narrow that down for sure? BTW - I'm not a hobbyist, so opening the unit to check connections was quite an event.

After 5 months of flying, I'm embarrassed to admit I crashed my drone into a light post as I was doing a beautiful 'pull out' shot. I was looking at my screen, not the drone. I was sure I have enough elevation; but heard the sickening thud and went to pick up the pieces on the ground. Two...

Yep, I'm in Bathurst, on the north-east of New-Brunswick. I've done an IMU calibration last week and it seems better. I've also noticed the TBE tends to settle down after a few minutes. Like a good apprentice, I was following advice to land and calibrate the drone as soon as I see this...

I was just going over all my footage so far and I realize the TBE was occurring before I installed the prop guards. @ Mako79, that calibration diagram is exactly what I follow: step 2 is nose down and I circle the drone around me, or I circle around the drone (either way it can get dizzy after...

That was indeed the problem. I've corrected it by cobbling a lens hood together by cutting a piece of a plastic document cover, and using two sided tape, I looped the plastic into a small tube. I slid that over the lens and friction keeps it in place, even when I tilt down. Works beautifully

welcome to the club :-) I support JWarren's point not to switch to NAZA mode. I've yet to see the use for it as PHANTOM mode is pretty solid for me. In time, I will try it, but there is no rush. My advice: take your time; start with small flights keeping good line of sight and steer well...

that's what I'm considering trying, to test. I'm just a little concerned changing screws again might strip the plastic.
