I have the PV2 (non-plus) but think it would be the same need to ensure all firmware is up to date, on any craft. The thing is, the symptoms you mention have been the same as others I have read about that were resolved with this update. Take it for what it's worth.

My ground station error was it wouldn't run because it couldn't get gps mode. The firmware update I mentioned above fixed this issue. I had responded the same way to another new user who had the same error you are getting of the app going directly back to the camera out of the GS screen. He...

I also had a problem with my android and ground station. Before I was able to fly GS, when I would try to "swipe" the screen I would get a GPS mode unavailable message. The solution? I didn't have the latest version of the .bin software loaded into my PV2 camera. I went back on the dji site...

About to turn 54...And counting. I got turned onto photography when I started to look outward and upward into space over 20 years ago. I saw the beauty and mystery in the heavens and turned to astrophotography to capture it. Later I discovered the beauty underwater and turned to taking...

I've been there many times fishing. Mostly in the boundary waters area but a few times on fly in trips further north. Beautiful country.

Yep! As much as I love the US, I also think govt redtape here really sucks. Not to mention govt intrusion. Maybe I'll move to Canada!

Darn, I'm so confused on this topic. Why wouldn't the offer/acceptance of this type of work/payment be considered illegal under US FAA law?

Thanks Tonylumps. The fact you also had a bad experience with acesdeals along with my bad experience could possibly help someone in the future. I know its hard to post negatives when you think you are an aberration. But when there are multiple abberations it may point to an actual problem...

GreatPumpkin, thanks for your response. I agree, the need to know this hobby "under the hood" is kind of an elitist attitude some have towards us who get gratification from the flying, not the tinkering. I have taken pictures on earthly subjects, under the sea, into space. I felt the next...

Thanks guys, for your responses. I do appreciate it! When it comes to being able to "tinker", I get your gist about those who fly and want to know the inner workings of their machines. I get that. But please understand, I am no "pimple faced" teen that flies in an irresponsible manner. I am...

I had written a post a few months ago asking for help. I had crashed my pv2 and experienced motor issues. I had written asking for input on a repair shop I could use that does good work, is quick, has good customer service, is reasonably priced. I had 1 follow-up post that mentioned...

Maybe the trick is NOT to have the operator "pushing a botton". Maybe the real solution is to use the app pre-set parameters go into a failsafe mode when certain things happen ie go outside pre-determined range or a change in speed indicating a plummet from the sky. This solution would preclude...

Excellent footage. Your "hugging the earth" on those mountain shots were fantastic and daring. And wild camels too boot! Good job.

I have seen very little gain, if any.

"Someone had suggested printing name, address and phone number on the unit. I hadn't considered a "tracker". Any specific suggestions?" I had an flyaway early in my PV2 experiences. Losing that much money isn't easy. :shock: So after some tips here I picked up the TK102 tracker in case it...
