    Phantom V2+ dropped from sky. May be related to flyaways

    The battery was tight. Fully charged and the camera kept recording the whole flight until it crashed. Power loss, then drop then power kicked back on. Battery still in the phantom after recovery and power fired up fine. No, I think this is a firmware problem. I just need to recover the image...

    Buying a new gimbal and camera for PV2+

    Where can I buy a replacement for the gimbal and camera for my PV2+ that crashed due to the motors stopping in flight? Mike

    Phantom V2+ dropped from sky. May be related to flyaways

    Well I certainly won't shell out 50% to get a new unit seeing as I believe this was caused by a program bug. From reading other posts this doesn't appear to be a problem unique to me but to many new or recently upgraded Phantoms. If they would just send me a new gimbal/camera assembly I'd be happy.

    Phantom V2+ dropped from sky. May be related to flyaways

    I'll try that but the lower half of the gimbal (and camera) is no longer connected AND the upper part has a great dent in it from the gimpal impacting it. So I don't know that it even gets power or functions.

    Phantom V2+ dropped from sky. May be related to flyaways

    The gimbal on my PV2+ died shortly after I purchased it so I sent it back for repair and after 5 weeks it was returned to me. I took it out and flew for a few hours and everything was great. Then two days ago I was flying it around again, taking some video of area and when I was in a hover at...

    Bye Bye Vision +

    What do you use for a GPS tracker? I have my address, tel# written in sharpy on mine and a note saying there is a reward for its return. Better a few $$ than $1500

    Gimbal dead on PV2+

    No joy. Checked all cables etc. Even opened up the phantom and checked all internal cables. Phantom asks to remove the gimbal lock so it thinks the hardware is dead I assume. DJI support says to send it in for repair (2 weeks) OR call sales and they will send me a new one to replace it. I'll...

    Gimbal dead on PV2+

    Just got my new Phantom Vision 2 + and have been flying it for several hours already. Steady as a rock even in windy conditions. Yesterday after flying for a while I landed and powered off. Now when I turn it on the gimbal moves around back and forth and never stops. I think it is damaged or...
