    How to hit record remotely

    I have a P2 with H3-3D Gimbal and hero 3. I'm pretty new here and I'm having a blast just flying around the neighborhood peeping on the neighbors (joke). Is there anyway to hit record from the transmitter mid flight? I've been using the GoPro app on my phone but the range isn't great. Any...

    Dead Battery?

    I have two batteries for my P2. There is a possibility that one of them sustained water damage at some point (it was given to me used as a gift). The bird flies great. I leave the battery charging all day, and the green lights light up and seem to indicate a full charge. When I plug it into...

    Maiden flight went great. Lots of fun. I let my son take the controls for a second and he flew it into a tree and broke all of the props. Got a few replacements on Amazon so I have spares. Looks like I'm grounded for the weekend :( Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    New ESC and Motor installed (soldering skills a little rusty but it'll do). All props are spinning. Now I need to look into calibrating I think. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Do I use the assistant on my computer to do this? Is it necessary? I cranked the throttle a bit and I...

    This is great information. Do you think in this case V2.1 and V2.0 are synonymous? I can only find V2.1 on Amazon. I could certainly look elsewhere but free 2 day shipping with prime is ideal. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Last questions n before making my purchases: The ESC I need is in the rear of the drone. Are all the ESC's the same? I understand the rotation orientation for the motors are either CW or CCW but is there a specific ESC that I need? I found the V2.1 on Amazon but there doesn't seem to be more...

    How do I know if I have the 2212 or the 2312? I don't see any markings on the motor except what appears to be a lot number. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Thanks for the heads up. I really am a noob here. I checked the model number and sure enough, it's a P2 Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Did my homework. It helped a lot. I think the electronics are ok, or so they appear for now. Time to start trouble shooting mechanical.

    VICTORY As recommended, I have done some reading. These things aren't exactly idiot proof. I don't know what I expected but sure enough, there is a lot that goes into these things flying properly. I powered on the transmitter, then powered on the drone. It beeped a bunch, then flashed its...

    Sure what do you need to know? As far as I know, it went under but the previous owned rinsed it off. Like a said, there isn't a lot of gunk inside. It's pretty clean surprisingly. On a working drone, what happens when it powers up? Does the controller connect automatically and you just start...
