    WIFI range extender

    Will the new P3 range extender work with the P2+ v.3? I know you would have to re-sink it to the camera. The other range extender antennas I have seen look like their installations are just an accident waiting to happen.Thanks.

    P3P Crash

    I agree, you started going up before you got clear. Try flying with prop guards for a bit. The props are really touchy. I sucked a bumble bee through mine once and it shattered the prop.

    S1 and S2

    Correct, however, that still does not tell you if you are in the correct spot on the planet. All S2 does is confirm home where the Phantom thinks it is. You still have no way of knowing where that is. Ex. Ever fire up the GPS in your car and it thinks you are 20 miles away until well after you...

    S1 and S2

    I appreciate the cracks gents, however, as I said, I have read all kinds of conflicting stories, ergo, speaking of horses, I went to it's mouth. :) So thanks. By the way, Meta4, you were correct. 4 of the wires on the camera module had cold solder joints as they literally just fell of as I...

    Data failure after 1.5hrs from new

    So in the camera base and not in the Phantom?

    I read somewhere that you can override the RTH mode by flicking S1 into position 2 (center). True? The reason I ask is because you have no way of knowing if the GPS has actually found the correct spot of where you are. In other words, if it goes into RTH mode, it could take off to parts unknown...

    Data failure after 1.5hrs from new

    Had the whole thing apart and checked every cable I could find. :) I did get an overheat error when I ran the update on the IMU.

    S1 and S2

    Anyone have a link on what they are for and how to use them. The manual says much of nothing. Also, in the Phantom software, what does IOC off mean and how would you turn it on?

    Data failure after 1.5hrs from new

    Did that, also tried it on two other devices. All act the same, so I am fairly sure it is not the app. The fact that I am communicating with the camera at least, I tend to think it is not the extender either. Sadly, I think it is the Phantom itself. Beginning to wonder with all the horror...

    Data failure after 1.5hrs from new

    Could use some help here please. Brand new Phantom 2+ V.3. App connected just fine after initial setup and cals. Now all of a sudden, bird says good to go (green lights flashing) yet the app only shows me the camera image, no GPS data at all. All I can do at this point from the app is tell it to...
