    iPad playback problems

    I recently got the latest P2V+ and have not been able to play the vids on my iPad air. Never had this problem with my P2V or my sons original P2V+. I usually use an iPad card reader with the microSD card. It won't import at all. Any suggestions. It always worked with the older machines.

    Crashed today - totally my own fault

    Well I was in kind of an unusual situation with my crashed P2V+. My son was doing a shoot for ECU football and wrapped it up in a pine tree before he could get the "money shot" they wanted for their opening day football video. We has a new one fedex'd from DC by the next morning so this was...

    Crashed today - totally my own fault

    Well take it outside and plug it into the charger where it won't burn your house down if it blows up! Actually I have charged my battery with the busted case at least 30 times without issues. I wouldn't use it for a long range FPV flight but close in FPV within LOS not in a congested area...

    Crashed today - totally my own fault

    Don't know about the gimbal but I would suggest you not trash that battery. When I cracked my bird up the battery case split wide open. I took some clear shipping tape and put it back together. It works like new dozens of flights later.

    Crashed today - totally my own fault

    ****, hate to see that. I have converted a crashed P2V+ into a total FPV crash and burn machine. The original camera/gimbal was trashed so I mounted a camera on the front, removed the wifi transmitter, installed a 900 MHz video transmitter and race that bird around my farm using a set of...

    Assistant software

    Re: Assistant software This should not be a problem as long as you have the latest version of the Assistant on both machines. I routinly change my 2 Phantoms settings on both my desktop computer and another laptop. Never have had any problems with that.

    P2V plus guts and what can I remove?

    Sounds like a builder, not a flier. I'm more than likely going to spend too much time and money on my P2V+ FPV mods but I like the Phantom platform and case. It's so durable and has lots of room. The battery and flight time are a real plus too. Thanks for your input.

    P2V plus guts and what can I remove?

    So I flew the gutted P2V+ tonight. It was obvious that I was loosing power with the powered up but nonfunctioning wifi unit. I got a good 20 min of balls to the wall FPV....lots of change in direction and altitude which uses juice. So do you think I can by pass the 5.8 receiver using the...

    P2V plus guts and what can I remove?

    Ok Dirty Bird, you seem to know the Phantom guts pretty well. I have a Eagle Tree Vector controller/OSD w/ GPS. I'm thinking of taking the NAZA out and putting the vector in with a 2.4 receiver for control. Will the Phantom ESC's plug into the Vector and work? I would run the GPS thru the...

    P2V plus guts and what can I remove?

    so I have a crashed P2V plus that I'm setting up for FPV (busted camera gimbal) using a 900mhz video downlink and native 5.8 for control. I'm planning on just using this for flying around my farm, low altitude like 3-10 ft, at full speed no more than 500-600 ft out. Does anyone have a...

    gimbal part

    I am looking for the small nylon (or maybe plastic) part that connects the Phantom 2 Vision camera to the gimbal servo sprocket. I had a hard landing and stripped the teeth on the nylon part making the gimbal jumpy. I had ordered "DJI Phantom2 Vision Upper Damping Bracket Part No. 19" in the...
