    Antenna Mounting Kit (FPVLR compatible)

    Thanks Sidebox, I haven't opened up my Phantom yet, so I am not 100% clear on what I need to do once I get in there. As you mentioned, that video isn't showing any glued or epoxied components. I was able to remove the glue on the transmitter (which was a bit of a challenge), so I think I...

    DJI PHANTOM 2 BATTERY CLONE $72.99

    I wouldn't touch them (IMHO). They might work just as well as OEM, but can you REALLY be sure?? I don't believe it's worth taking the risk. My two cents....

    Antenna Mounting Kit (FPVLR compatible)

    They look like they will raise the height and give us a tiny bit more clearance for the camera too.. Can't hurt...

    Antenna Mounting Kit (FPVLR compatible)

    These look really nice. I want to upgrade my Phantom with the pinwheels but was waiting to see if anyone has posted a really good video tutorial. I have searched, but I think the only ones I have seen are for the P2 Vision, not the +. I already have done the stage 2 kit. I'm concerned about...

    Better Yaw control mod (how to video)

    I was only half serious.... No pressure... I have a Mech E Bachellor Degree (26 years ago). I took a electrical circuits course back then, but sucked at it, so I am pretty much clueless reading circuit diagrams. But I can work with a detailed tutorial - no problem. As long as I know what...

    Doh..Forgot to take Gimbal Lock Off!

    I have done it a bunch of times and I think it screwed up my horizontal alignment. Was able to fix it myself. Just make sure the lock is off before you press the power button - not before flight. I just taped a post it note on my battery now...

    Better Yaw control mod (how to video)

    Thank You SpikeFinch! This is an awesome guide!!, still not sure if I need it, but it certainly looks easy to do... Parts are cheap... I will probably order them. Since you did this so well, how about one for the ch 7 variable tilt control - slider?? I'm still not sure if we can get that to...

    Camera Suddenly Titled

    Check two recent threads: re-seating the gimbal and Realigning the gimbal. Lots of people are having this problem. I fixed mine in about an hour. Seems a bit scary, but it's not too bad. Read the threads completely and watch the two videos that are out there. Go slowly and have patience -...

    Is this normal ?

    Look in your settings on the DJI app. FPV Mode should be DISABLED. Is it? That's the only thing I can think of. Maybe there are settings in the DJI Assistant software? Not sure... Is you v2+ new? Did you ever crash it?

    Firmware 1.08...YES the only way to fly!!!!

    Was loving 1.08, but switched to the latest- 3.04 (3.06??) because it seemed to me like my phantom was having difficulty maintaining a steady hover. I last checked it (1.08) on an open field and it was hovering in a circle - maybe 15' in diameter - kinda disconcerting. Figured I would upgrade...

    Connecting my PC to the controller and thr phantom

    Micro USB cable. Anyone with an android cell phone or other electronics should have at least a few lying around their house. No need to buy one. Just ask anyone you know...

    Re-seating the Gimbal- SOLVED

    Re: Re-seating the Gimbal Very nice clear video and pics. I never disconnected my cables. Much harder to get in there, but I just didn't want to mess with them. I would imagine that they should be connected each time you check for horizontal... Also, it appears to me that you may have been...

    Realigning the Gimbel

    Interference in video? Hmmmm.. You are not talking about while it's flying (into sunlight)? Just while it's sitting on the table? Don't know. Seems to me like maybe the ribbon cable isn't fully seated?? That's the reason I didn't want to remove the cable - was afraid I might not get it to...

    Realigning the Gimbel

    Sorry your having problems. Again, I had problems too initially. You can wrap some electrical tape on your pliers to avoid damaging the shaft. Like I said, I waited a day to adjust it again and I got it pretty perfect on the second day. I was not comfortable removing the ribbon cable, but I...
