    Beaufort, SC video

    Very nice filming. Really enjoyed it and since my son still owns a house in Beaufort, I recognized most of the locations. Very nice indeed!

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    Question for ianwood. Just wondering a what if? Yes, I probably have too much free time on my hands, but I had a thought and wanted to ask if you think it would be possible to do? Since the "RD" is not used, could a function be created that would do the following: At lift off, have the Phantom...

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    I believe I actually understand the explanation. Maybe some of this stuff is finally starting to sink in. :idea: Thank you again ianwood.

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    I didn't mention in my previous post that the RS works fine. No delay in movement in either direction. The momentary delay is ok, it's just that I would like to shorten it by a few seconds. I'm thinking that the "SC" switch is somehow programmed to have the momentary delay before the camera...

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    Ianwood, I have a question regarding the "SC" switch for the slow gimbal control. Currently when I flip it ("SC") there is a delay of perhaps 10 seconds (not timed it yet) before the gimbal begins to move. When the gimbal reaches the other end, I can flip it back and the gimbal begins to move...

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    I made the change and all seems to work perfectly now. Greatly appreciate the help and especially the profile! I plan to try my first video tomorrow.

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    I am really lost on how to do something and my head is about bloody from beating it against the wall. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Let me begin by once again offering my many thanks to ianwood and all the others who have graciously shared in creating this profile. It's...

    How to lower H3-3D gimbal

    This is exactly what you are looking for. You will probably need to get some extended legs or the camera is going to hang too low. I have this bracket and some extended landing gear and they work perfectly together. Be aware though, the zenmuse top plate has 4 screws that secure it to the...

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    Ianwood, I did download the profile from page 1 after you posted the update. I don't think I have modified it as far as I know. I have been going in and out of the various menus on the 14SG trying to get a "basic" understanding of how it works, so it is certainly possible that I may have changed...

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    Ianwood, thanks for jumping in here to help me with this. I can't seem to get X1 to calibrate, but since my earlier post it is partially working. Here's what it's doing: Both the SC and SG switches are moving it. With SC fully back camera is level. SC mid position camera points 3/4 down and with...

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    I have been flying my Phantom 2 now for several months and I just installed the gimbal today. I wanted to practice without a gimbal and I had been waiting to get a new GoPro 4 when they came out. So, I installed the gimbal and the GoPro 4 Black today. Video works fine and all Iosd info shows...

    New tall landing gear

    Use a very small piece of double sided tape between the leg and mounting bracket. Used it on my extended legs after using as much of the extra cable that I could to move the compass as far down the leg as possible. As others have said, just be sure compass is in the same orientation as before...

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    I feel just like a kid on Christmas morning wondering what Santa left me and then can't wait to go outside and play with it. Even at my age I still like that feeling! :D

    Setting up the Futaba T8FGS (or 14SG) with the P2

    This is my first post on this forum. I have been following this thread with particular interest as I have just purchased a Phantom 2 and a Futaba 14SG to go along with it. I can't wait to load this profile and fly my setup. Just wanted to say to ianwood and all the others who are taking the time...
