    Remote linking failure after crash

    P2 crashed. I cannot link the stock remote controller. The light link is red. When I press on the remote linking button, I get the blinking red light, but afterwards, it turns back to solid red instead of green. The remote is OK, since it works with another P2. I have first tried to switch...

    Tilt lever not working

    Thanks for the tip. I assumed something was wrong with the P2 rather than controller, since I've tested two with the same result. However, upon plugging directly a both controllers into PhantomRC Assistant, as well as the P2 into Phantom Assistant, I've noticed that nothing happens on X1, so I...

    Tilt lever not working

    I am plugging a servo control into the F2 port of NAZA. I use it to trigger a camera using the pitch lever at the back of the remote. Everything was working fine up to Wed, including the trigger. On a Fri flight, I noticed the trigger was not working. At first, I thought maybe a loose...

    Phantom 2 go pro or vision+?

    I would say it boils down to whether you enjoy tinkering or not. Putting together a working P2 w/ FPV & telemetry looks easy in hindsight after you've done it, but it did take me a fair amount of time (including research) to select components and put them together. The P2 with Go Pro or pocket...

    Using Naza X2 port to control servo ?

    Thanks again for the ideas. Indeed those S-Bus decoders are quite heavy. Is there any particular RX that you'd recommend for this use ?

    Using Naza X2 port to control servo ?

    Thanks for the insight. The Naza manual stated "S-bus compatible", but I wasn't sure. It also explains that DroneExpert are able to control channel seven for tilt from X2 as well. Do you think it might be possible to extract the relevant signal by tinkering with a S-Bus decoder & channel...

    Using Naza X2 port to control servo ?

    I am trying to control a servo (for camera trigger) using the left (IOC) switch on the stock phantom 2 remote. I would like the servo to be activated whenever the switch is moved from the top position to the bottom position. I know this is possible, because it is demonstrated in this video at...

    My solution to the RX100 photography problem

    Thanks for the Droneexpert mount RX100 review. As a result, I am collaborating with a professional mechanical engineer to design an alternative. Our camera of choice will not be the Sony RX100, but the Ricoh GR, though. Unless you find the need to shoot the RX100 at a focal other than 28mm, the...

    Help me Decide on Video Transmitter and Screen

    Although some have done so, Immersion doesn't recommend mounting TX inside. It has no heat sink (hence light) and needs airflow for cooling. Stock antenna aren't that bad. I get about 500m. Many use: Immersion RHCP Spironet SMA antenna on P2. On BP, for omnidirection Immersion RHCP Spironet...

    Solid & Straight-Forward FPV Platform

    For ease of installation, it's difficult to beat DJI's AVL58. With the DJI Phantom 2 FPV HUB, it's entirely plug-and-play, even with the iOSD mini.

    RANGE? Immersion 600mw tx, with Spironets

    Someone else also made measurements with immersionRC RF meter of Boscams vs IRC 600, which performed pretty well - as confirmed by those who got good results with non-BP RXs http://i.imgur.com/JAZiz9L.jpg

    Help me Decide on Video Transmitter and Screen

    Thanks for the information. You clearly have more solid first hand info than I do. That's what I read from dealer, also on other forums some stated 1000m OK with their set-ups. My own experience was good reception at about 600m out with stock antennas so I was thinking with better antennas this...

    Help me Decide on Video Transmitter and Screen

    ALV58 weights 39 grams - 60 grams with default CL antenna (has fan inside). It's said to work well and is plug-and-play. Boscam TS353 400mW weights 43 grams (has heatsink). ImmersionRC 600mW 18 grams Black Pearl is more versatile (more outputs and inputs, incl HDMI), has better resolution and...
