    May/June 2014 Aerial Demo Reel

    I'm new to quadcopters and was lucky enough to get to learn how to fly one while working on set of a reality TV show the past 2 months. I edited together some of my favorite shots for my first aerial reel and would love to hear feedback on what other fellow Phantom flyers think. Thanks in...

    Installed FPV and now can't connect to GPS

    Hi Chino! I still have the compass installed low on the new landing gear and the LED's have started working again. I believe I messed up from the start by trying the green screwdriver that came with the Phantom on the compass screws. That screwdriver is actually magnetized and set my compass WAY...

    No LED lights after initial P2 bootup. PLEASE HELP!

    Just wanted to update here in case anyone else has this issue. I took the P2 to a completely different field/location and setup the FPV and everything like normal. Still no lights at this point. I did CSC and the two front lights turned solid red. I elevated to about 1 meter and the FPV monitor...

    No LED lights after initial P2 bootup. PLEASE HELP!

    No LED lights after initial P2 bootup. PLEASE HELP!

    I've started a thread about it in FPV (viewtopic.php?f=31&t=16641), but wanted to venture outside that specific area just in case anyone else could help shed some light on it. Here is the video showing what the issue is: http://youtu.be/fmOmSYSGCLU Brief background...I purchased the P2 from...

    Installed FPV and now can't connect to GPS

    I checked all the cables and everything is plugged in correctly. I am curious as to the anti-interference circuit board that came with the H3-3D gimbal. Do you think that would have any effect on the GPS signal? I would switch back to the original landing gear, but since I soldered the...

    Installed FPV and now can't connect to GPS

    Ok, I filmed this showing what the issue is. Granted there are no propellers on it, that has no effect on why the GPS LEDs aren't coming on. Switching the S2 to calibrate the compass doesn't do anything either :-( http://youtu.be/fmOmSYSGCLU

    Installed FPV and now can't connect to GPS

    Hi Bmews, To answer your questions; 1) I forgot to mention the new skid in the numbered list, but did mention the placement of the compass on the new landing gear in the paragraph below it. That is what the 2nd post was about as well. 2) I did move the compass when I installed the new, wider...

    Installed FPV and now can't connect to GPS

    Re: Installed FPV and now can't connect to Satellites Ok, I just started up the Phantom and waited over a minute and got the red and yellow lights alternating. That means the compass needs calibration, according to the LED flight indicator chart. I switched S2 up and down 6 times and the light...

    Installed FPV and now can't connect to GPS

    Re: Installed FPV and now can't connect to Satellites Thanks for the response IrishSights. I was able to pull more cable out of the internal housing and got the compass mounted correctly on the new landing skid. I also checked and the GPS plug is fully plugged in. Even tried it with it...
