    IMU Calibration

    When I've done them they usually take 3-5 minutes.

    Case for P2V+ with prop guards

    This may be a bit derivative of other topics but is there any case that fits the Phantom 2 Vision + with prop guards or would I just have to remove them each time? Thanks to everyone who posts here it is very informative.
