    Only 300 feet on WiFi extender before signal loss?

    Just purchased a Phantom 2 Vision. This is my second Phantom but first of the Vision model. I followed all the instructions perfectly and get a strong and clear video feed to my iPhone 5s. However, after just after 300 feet it seems I lose the signal and the video feed cuts out. This happens...

    Dad's Phantom Needs Help!

    We narrowed it down to a NAZA issue. We used an RPM gun and measured the motors individually. At 50% throttle, Motor #1 = 2,300rpm. Motor #2 = 7,000rpm. Motor #3 = 10,000rpm. Motor #4 = 10,000rpm We measured my Phantom which is working perfectly. At 50% throttle, all my motors were at...

    Dad's Phantom Needs Help!

    Yes, currently we both have the same firmware. 3.16 Although my dads had the same issue when he first got it and it had the 2.14 installed. I don't know. It's frustrating. Would be nice to get it to fly right.

    Bye bye phantom

    I just ordered a F550 last week from Florida and its taking forever to get here! I'm excited. I love my phantom but would like something more stable in wind and the longer flight distance and altitude sound appealing. What transmitter are you planning to use? I ordered four spare black...

    My 1st FPV - Not great

    Sorry to hear it was difficult. Hopefully it will come with practice. I don't know. It was really easy for me from the start. Just felt like I was playing a video game in front of a TV screen at home. Which I have had lots of experience with growing up. Playing video games that is. My...

    Carbon Fiber Board. Where do you get it?

    Hi - I see alot of Phantom gear made out of it. Gimbals, Anti-Vibration Mounts etc. I'm talking about that carbon fiber material. It's not real carbon fiber is it? Real carbon fiber is WAY expensive. I think this stuff is some cheap knockoff material. Still, I'm trying to find out what...

    Share your flight videos! : )

    Can you please tell me how you imbed your youtube videos? I've tried pasting iframe code and the old code from Youtube. I've always tried pressing the "youtube" button on the top of the reply form. Nothing seems to work.

    My it sure does put out the wind!

    I've had my phantom for about two months now. I love flying it. Although I'm starting to play around with it by simpler means. I find myself laying on the ground looking up towards the sky more and more. Then bringing the phantom down right above my face and hold it at a hover. Making small...

    Dad's Phantom Needs Help!

    Hey everyone, I purchased my phantom back in early July. The moment my father saw me fly it, he ordered one. However, since his first flight, it has not flown well. It always seems to drift backwards anytime you let go of the sticks. And when it's not doing that, it does this increasing...

    Fat Shark Predator Range Issue

    Sorry to hear you are having issues. Yeah...I didn't like the range of my Fatshark goggles and 250mw transmitter when I first bought them either. It sorta seems it's a hit or miss on how well the reception is going to be. However, since I bought cloverleaf antennas, it has been about 70%...

    Real Estate Shooting Legality

    Hey everyone! Over the past month I have gotten fairly decent at flying my Phantom. Enough so that I would love to get into making some money with my new hobby. I read the FAA regulations about drones. Under 400 feet not over crowed areas No commercial use I understand that being hired to...
