I have the identical issue. Battery sat for long time at very low charge. Also tried 2 chargers both the 100watt. Appears to be charging for about same 5 minutes with LED1 blinking and then goes into the 3 blinking mode sequence. Battery is not hot. I suspect could be the temp sensor...

Looked good until you start adding weights in two places. Non starter for me

I had same issue. Deleted app and reinstalled and viola!

Battery lights themselves tell degree of charge. I just discharge below 50% or all the way down as far as the lights keep going.

Put together a little resistor based discharge device for Phantom 5200 type batteries: Parts: Qty 4, 100 watt, 8 ohm power resistors Ebay item: 131163389595 Aluminum heat sink Ebay item: 141381483277 Power connector for the Phantom (also good to use same cables to charge multiple...

sorry for long delay to answer where you get them: http://www.helipal.com/djip2-06-dji-phantom-2-phantom-2-vision-internal-power-plug.html?osCsid=hdoike8h7011tk5slo9uaf4vu7

Anyone use the HiTec X4 charger or other similar charger to charge their 5200 batteries? I made my first adapter (plan to make 4) but before I continue making them or plug it on for what I think should just be "charge" and "3S", I thought I better ask first.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range Looks amazing! I'm wondering what is it actually boosting? The wifi power output of the iDevice? If that's the case does it work better for normal wifi signals outside of using it for a phantom? as for example you want wifi but it's weak from...

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2 I was responding to the idea if a Futaba receiver was in the Phantom and configured to hold (as people have suggested might be the case) if transmitter goes off, and if the Receiver Advanced Protection was on, it would still kick into failsafe after...

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2 Assistant also has Receiver Advanced Protection. If that is enabled and there is no change in A/E/R/T for some period of time (20-30seconds), then the autopilot will think something is wrong and go into failsafe. I imaging "hold" is not making any...

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2 If transmitter is turned off, it's not "saying" anything, never mind "hold course". The fact that it's not saying anything, IF you have configured in Assistant to return home, that's what it should do as I understand it. LadyKate may have a GPS...

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2 Yes DesertFlyer53. Had I not read your post awhile back, I wouldn't have suspected it might not work in the first place. Thanks.

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2 No need to dissect it. Just watch the youtube where I learned it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMbpUpcvNiA I removed the gains adjustment using the right knob because I want IOS functionality. It was a tradeoff. The D/R method is much...

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2 Sorry for the delay in logging in again since my earlier post. A couple people asked for the profile I created with Futaba 8FGS and my Phantom 2 (ported from Phantom 1) that has a failsafe function assigned to 2-position switch SF. The failsafe...

Re: Setting up the Futaba T8FGS with the P2 Bound my 8FGS to the P2 today after reading this thread. Very simple, only needed to push the bind button and viola. Appreciate all the work done in this thread showing various ideas, esp the tilt control. The Phantom 1 settings I had on the...
