    Ready to add FPV. I could use all the advice I can get...lol

    Happy Saturday everyone. I recently went from a toy quad to a P2 with HD-3D for my GoPro. I got it at a bargain, and after all the updates it appears to fly perfectly. So now it's time to start looking toward FPV, but I really don't know squat about it. I'm pretty good at researching info, but...

    Thanks. I hope to pass along the wisdom one day.....lol. So how do you feel about stability of firmware updates? Don't want to update if they are full of bugs. Controller: 3.08 to 3.14 P330CB: Current H3-3D IMU: 1.0.0.4 to 1.0.0.12

    My apologies.... Totally operator error. From the DJI P2 files page, I failed to download and install the DJI_Win installer. I'm connected. Thanks for your advise Jason.

    And I've tried moving the PC end of the cable to every other USB port on my desktop just in case. No difference. I am running Win 7 Ultimate. The Device Manager sees the DJI controller as 'Other Devices' and has an exclamation point next to it. Going to uninstall P2 and reinstall with the...

    Weird..... I've tried that to no avail. Even power cycled the controller numerous times. the P2 software just flat out isn't seeing the controller. Is there a special cable I need? To be honest, I'm using the charging cable from my Galaxy S5. It has the proper ends on it, and is charging the...

    And on another note...... It looks like I have the NDJ6 controller, which P2 shows as the upgrade version (still learning all this, so please bear with me.)

    Sounds good. So to establish connection between the controller and P2 assistant (which was my original issue... no connection), the sequence is: 1) power up controller 2) plug USB cable to PC 3) plug into controller USB port 4) start P2 Assistant Thanks for the heads-up on the gimbal config...

    Hi Jason.... Thanks for your input. I've just gotten home, and will try that in a few.... You mentioned the P2 assistant software. the DJI site only has the PT2 (Phantom Vision) assistant. That's probably my connection issue, isn't it? Googling a result for the P2 assistant now....

    Hi everyone.... Over the holiday weekend, I went from a toy drone to a Phantom 2 with the H3-3D for my GoPro. No FPV at the moment until I get comfortable keeping it all low and close....lol. One thing I've run into is calibrating the gimbal. My GoPro is tilted downward (+/- 30 degree angle)...
