    Interference and Lilliput 339/DW issues

    Small update. Too windy to test flight today but it seems the Fatshark Immersion CP antennas I was sold are grey ones which were just listed as Spironet V2 antennas. Both are identical and have red flexible shafts with SMA connectors. Like these from Hobbyking...

    Tarot gimbal and blurfix cp filter mounting

    Hi. Does anyone use a Tarot gimbal with a circular polarising filter attached? I want to get the filter ring and Tiffen cpf from Snake River Prototyping but have no idea if I can use ot with the retaining ring that attaches the gopro camera to the gimbal. Ideas?

    Phantom 1.1.1 with P2V props - Gain adjustment?

    Hi. I have found the white 9" vision 2 self-tightening props, albeit generic ones to be pretty good and rel. well balanced. This is with the stock settings. Their mdowndise is that the tips are fragile and break off easily. So when buying a set, get spares!! I also got some black cf ones that...

    Phantom v1 with V2 propellers

    Hi chaps, cheers for the replies. As was stated above, the holes are round but when you slot the prop over the threads, they lock into position and don't move. Then I just tightened down the appropriate prop nut to keep them in place. I will admit that I didn't balance the props: I was mad keen...

    Phantom v1 with V2 propellers

    Hi. I bought these props too but only tried them once and then the quad flew weirdly. My phantom is version 1.1.1. I recently got some carbon fibre versions of these props from ebay as I feel the stock ones are a bit flimsy. Anyhoo, tried to take off today and the quad was all over the place...

    Simple BC gui query

    Me again. Now I've gone and done it. I think I have killed my gimbal. I just cannot seem to be able to calibrate either the accelerometer or gyros and adjust the PIDs had little effect. As a result, I tried flashing the firmware and now it does zip. Just jiggers and doesn't react to movement at...

    Simple BC gui query

    Hi all, My goodluckbuy gimbal is acting wonky still. After I have turned it on it stabilises fairly well but makes small, slow drifting rolls. Not much, but shouldnt it be rock steady? Pitch seems to be ok though. I have installed the usb driver and the simpleBCGUI thingy. Anyhoo, i can use the...

    Phantom POB fix

    Since installing the goodluckbuy gimbal, it has become a royal pain to take off smoothly. I put the ontroller into Atti mode but it still leans dangerously over. Once in the air and landing is no problem. I tried flying today with the new vision props and the whole thing flipped right over, i.e...

    Goodluckbuy Gimbal - Stuttering Issue

    My Goodluckbuy gimbal seemd to work ok out of the box with the gopro in place but after a couple of crashes it flips all over the place. I've had to turn the plate on which the gopro sits until the lower blue led comes on and then it seems to settle down. Is there any way to find this optimal...

    Warranty- what is it good for?

    Hi. Have been having problems with my phantom re: c-clips popping off and ending up in the motors. Sent three emails to the company i bought it from in july as to getting it checked. No response. Two phonecalls later i get a rather snotty reply that the company just sells the copters, they dont...

    C-shaped retaining rings

    Hi all. I'm having problems with the retaining rings at the bottom of the motors. To-date two have come off and one was rattling around loose inside the housing. The other managed to get itself between the motor coils and stuck to the magnets. I can replace the rings even if it is a fiddly job...

    Evening flight

    First post here. http://youtu.be/HxR8gI-88co Carbon fibre props. No gimbal or anti-vibration thingy. Shot in 720/60fps with a gopro2 Overall pretty smooth except on descents when the whole craftt wobbled a lot. I edited those out. I'm still a bit hard on the sticks and flew only in GPS so...
