    No live video?

    I have a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ that has been working great for years. Without warning and no upgrade changes, I'm no longer getting the live video feed to my iPhone & iPad. Only getting a spinning gear where the video was. Everything else works fine including the telemetry feedback for...

    New Flytrex Goodies

    Dirty Bird - Thanks for the info. I'm having the same issue. The following flight shows where the connection dropped within a few minutes of flight. But I continued to fly for 15 minutes in the general area, including near where I started, which is where the original connection was...

    What to do when a helicopter shows up

    I had a similar incident today. Was taking an aerial video of a horse farm. I was at 400 feet when a low flying airplane flew into my area and did a couple of circles. I guess they where interested in the same horse farm. I immediately went full descent, really scarey.

    Technique for quickest descent?

    I'm going to try Manual mode and switch back to GPS mode at 200'. How quickly will it descend in your experience?

    Technique for quickest descent?

    Has anyone perfected a technique for quickly descending from higher altitudes? Is GPS or ATTI mode best? Straight down or circles? Using current firmware. Thanks

    New Flytrex Goodies

    I take back all the grief I gave Flytrex for making a bad product. If not for Flytrex Live, I absolutely would have lost my downed copter last night. So after the firmware upgrade, I went to a new area to fly on the edge of town. Better 2G signal and long field of view. THIS IS EVERYTHING...

    Antenna location on Phantom 2 Vision+(Plus)

    That black epoxy kryptonite is a real pain to remove without damaging the antenna connectors. Trust me, I speak from painful experience. I'd say for the average modeler, there's a better than 50% chance that you'll need this link: http://www.amain.com/DJI-Phantom-2-Visi ... oCoYjw_wcB IMHO

    Knitting Needle Landing Skid Stabilizers for Vision +

    I attached similar "sticks" to my skids and, while the solution worked, they kept coming into frame during video. I believe the copter is most likely to tip to the back, towards the weight of the battery. Since the camera is pointed in the other direction, I'm testing extensions beyond the...

    Under the hood of the P2V+ The receiver is mounted under the main board held by those two screws. See the actual antennas inside the battery opening.

    City Park Ranger's Enforcement

    Wait until they get a load of this! http://news.yahoo.com/video/hoverbike-a ... 18218.html I'm sure people were freaking out when cars first began disturbing horses back in the day. And especially when airplanes and jets started flying through the sky. I noticed this weekend while flying...
