Hi All, I apologize if this has been discussed before, I went back about a dozen pages and couldn't find anything about it... Can anyone tell me if it's normal to have some amount of lag time in the response of the camera? This problem is more noticeable when the aircraft is a little further...

Turn on everything and wait till you have a steady blinking green light. Toggle the S1 switch several times until you have a SOLID yellow light. Pick up the Phantom and keeping it horizontal, turn it in front of you 360 degrees, and the light will turn SOLID green. Turn the phantom nose...

Hi all, I'm hopefully receiving my P2V+ today, and in reading the manual it's a little ambiguous about the Anti Drop Kit. Basically, these are the little posts between the gimbal and the gimbal mount. It says that 2 come installed out of the box. However, it doesn't really say whether or not...

Re: Phantom 2 vision for sale Ok, I've decided to lower my asking price to $700. Please let me know if you're interested, thanks!

Hi all, I'm selling my phantom 2 vision because I'm interested in the Vision+... About 10 flights total, never had any crashes. This comes with the range extender mod and I will throw in the 5dbi and 8dbi antennas - with the 8dbi one I've taken it out to 3000 feet with good line of sight! No...

This is an interesting product... I am really hoping it's possible to buy some sort of upgrade kit with the camera, gimbal, and range extender and perform an upgrade to the current phantom 2 vision. The price for that might be easier to swallow. $1999 is a lot of money, and I don't think that...

Hi there, I was wondering, when you look at the connection pins, do either of them look bent at all? And does the spring on them still work ok? Maybe one thing you could try first is cleaning the pins with alcohol, and also cleaning the contacts on the battery with an alcohol swab too. It...

Hi Jebus, Just to confirm with the Phantom 2 Vision, all of those other CSC combinations also cause the motors to start up and power down. I tried it on my coffee table with the propellers off and they all seem to have the same effect. So just wanted to post that because its not mentioned in...

Hmm...maybe I'll try executing those CSC's with the props off and the phantom sitting on the coffee table...because in the phantom vision manual that I read it only shows one (the down and in), on page 31. Are you sure those others aren't just for the previous generation of phantom? If not it...

Jebus, Hopefully your phantom survived the crash! That's too bad that this is a risk...you would think it would be an easy thing to build in the firmware that the motors cannot be shut off if the altitude of the phantom is still changing, meaning that it wasn't on the ground. I can't think...

Hi all, I have read the manual, and I know that the manual says not to perform CSC (bringing both sticks down and towards the middle) mid flight because this will shut the rotors off in mid flight. Is that really true? This seems a little dangerous because with the phantom flying around I...

Hi Klaus, I'm sorry that you're having so many problems... You've gone to great efforts to replace the phantom, replace the camera, replace the wifi repeater... It really just HAS to be something to do with your phone. Do you think you could borrow a friend's phone and load the vision app...

Hi All, I performed the range extender mod as described multiple times on this forum and on youtube, and added an 8 DBi omnidirectional antenna to it. I left the aircraft and the controller stock. I took it out for some range testing and was really impressed with the distance results -...

Hi all, Just a quick question about modifying the antenna... I just performed the modification to the range extender - I have yet to try it but I have both a 5 DBi and an 8 DBi antenna - not sure how much range increase either one will give me - just waiting for the weather to improve and the...

In my limited experience radar view is really helpful when you're far away, as you said, to know what the phantom's last heading is... But if you lose wifi, then I think the radar view quits updating too - so you really only know the heading of the phantom right before the connection broke. So...
