    Very short range in my Phantom 3 Pro

    Hey, I have a PT2 v.2.0 and I get 1500 meters easy (5000 feet). And I was bummed. I wished I was getting 3000 meters (10,000) or more. I was going to upgrade to a PT3, but now I am thinking twice. I am using 600mw IMR TX on the craft with an IBcrazy Air Screw (cloverleaf ant.) for the TX...

    Fried circuit on PH2 v.3.0 non vision

    Man, all because I got a plug and play wire from a supplier in San Diego and it was wired wrong, the standard Immersion RC plug was set up for a different brand , like iFly, or something like that. I should have looked at it closer and checked it out better. Look at your plug and play wire...

    Fried circuit on PH2 v.3.0 non vision

    Hey anyone know what this little circuit is that melted on my PH2? It is right next to the plug in called 'CAM' Where you hook up the video TX for the FPV. I was using a plug and play system I got online, I had it all hooked up right, I even took it to a certified DJI tech and he looked at it...

    after factory reset, cannot load firmware

    I had the same problem, regarding the original question. The gimbal was not being recognized by the Assistant software. I went to a DJI certified repair center and I talked to the tech and he told me to have the PH2 hooked up via usb cable to my computer with the Assistant Software ON, while...

    Advantages/Disadvantages to Carbon Fiber Props

    I tried Carbon fibre props and my whole frame (shell) developed cracks and many of the bolt holes stripped out. I also had about 3 really bad 'death wobble' incidents where my PH2 came wobbling down out of the sky, luckily on a very lush sports field with thick grass, so it survived. I would...

    Advice before buying a Phantom 2 FPV kit

    Used to working with gigapixel images and HDR timelapses, so this shouldn't be a problem. It's not state of the art ([email protected] 32gb ram, gtx780 3bg for CUDA acceleration) but it should do the trick until I manage to recoup some of the investment. Excellent, it sounds like you are a pro, with...

    Advice before buying a Phantom 2 FPV kit

    I own both the Hero 3+ Black edition and the Hero 3+ Silver edition. I am not impressed with the difference between the Black and Silver edition. I would just get the Silver only and not the Black, and this is why, I only shoot in 1080p most of the time anyways, and let me tell you, it sucks up...

    Hero3+ Black settings

    I am kind of new to my Hero Black 3+ mounted on my PT2 w/zenmuse. I have been using a Silver 3+ set at 1080 30fps Med. Angle. I like using Medium because you don't get as much distortion around the edges. Ok so I shot my first cut with my PT2 with Black 3+ I set it at 1080 (regular) 60 fps...

    My FPV system update, TX upgrade 600mw

    I am actually getting the best performance with the BlueBeam Ultra 3 lobe as the TX on the craft and the Crosshair on my RX for the Fatshark. I was able to fly behind trees and still get an image. It is kind of funny this combination seems to work the best when I get some distance from my base,(...

    Ok folks, I just want to report my findings on my test I conducted, comparing the basic DJI mushroom antenna's with the 5.8 ghz Blue Beam Ultra's made by iBcrazy, now going by the name 'Video Aerial Systems' VAS. Well the Blue beams as a pair blew the competition out of the water, 10x's the...

    Cracked frame

    I have an identical crack on my Phantom 2 also. Same location exactly. It looks just like my bird. I am going to try the Rapid Fix repair stuff. Thanks Gundo Larry for that info. BTW, how is your repair job holding up? Did it last so far?
