Perfectly normal to drop from 12.6V to 12.5V or 12.4V once off the charger, so I doubt the charger is the problem either. What are your first-level and second-level voltage alarm settings in the NAZA software?

Don't think it's your motors -- if all feel the same, you're probably fine there. (The "notchiness" is normal when rotating them by hand; that's just the magnets.) Definitely suspect a voltage calibration issue. You say you have a voltmeter -- when your battery reads 12.5 or 12.6 on the meter...

There's always a lot of confusion about this because there is no "standard" nomenclature regarding how to refer to the way the motor shaft is threaded. Sometimes people will use "CCW" to mean a thread that *tightens* counter-clockwise, and sometimes to refer to a thread that *loosens*...

I also used modified gains for my 9" CF props because I couldn't really achieve rock-solid stability without increasing most of the settings. However with the Vision props I've just been using the stock gains with perfect results; no need to change anything. Great props, by the way. The eBay...

+1 on the big battery door upgrade from maikelsdesign on Shapeways. Pricey for what it is, but hands down the best upgrade I ever bought for my Phantom (and that's saying something). Has paid for itself 50 times over in frustration savings alone. I have a variety of packs from the stock 2200's...

For what it's worth, I have 2 full sets of "eBay knockoff" Vision 2 props and 1 set of DJI OEM props from a dealer (B&H) and am unable to tell them apart save for the tiny embossed logo on the OEM props. YMMV, but I think these are all coming from the same factory regardless of price.

Alas (or not), appears to be the real deal. Essentially it's a Vision without the camera, and ability to mount a Zenmuse. Some dealers have said there will be a "bare" (no Zenmuse) version and another version with Zenmuse installed. What isn't clear is whether it uses the 5.8 diversity RX/TX...

Would be interesting to A/B these against the Vision props to see which produces less jello. As CF props these are obviously very brittle and stiff, and if you've seen the Vision props they are even thinner and more flexible than the old stock Phantom props. I've never been totally convinced...

Thanks, very helpful. I just found that mine seemed really twitchy at the stock gain settings and required a lot more manual inputs to keep things steady. The first time I used 9" CF props they acted the same way, but eventually upped the gains for those to what DSLRPros recommended and it...

Because I bought a set of 4 *before* they were 2 CW and 2 CCW. :) WIth the positive reports on the Vision 2 props, would like to be able to try these out. Since none of the "individual" sellers seemed to have the CCW motors, I just went ahead and bought a new set of 4 that comes with 2...

Thanks for the quick response! Seller doesn't mention if they have the CW/CCW set, so I'll submit a question and find out. Worst case I suppose I can just buy another set of 4 and sell the two CW motors on eBay myself. :)

Naturally I bought my T-motor Antigravity motors *just* before they started offering the set with 2 CW and 2 CCW threaded prop adapters. Would love to try out the Vision 2 props (and generally have the extra security of CCW-threaded prop nuts on those two motors) but not a fan of buying...

Nobody? Not even martcerv? :)

Just curious what gain settings some of you are using with the GWS 9050 tri-blades (black)? I've played around with a few variations but still don't feel that I've found the optimal settings -- still getting a bit of twitchiness now and then. Suggestions?

I think this is more or less the slickest mod I've seen so far: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost ... count=3641 Did it to my own TX after I saw this and it's brilliant. I used a 30mm version of the same slide pot, but I think either works great. Puts the control right under your index...
