    New TX or lever gimbal controller

    I'm fortunate to have tried 3 different iterations of the 7th lever control and I'll give you a summary and my conclusion. I first added the lever to the back of the old transmitter and updated everything except the gimbal firmware as outlined by another member on this forum. This allowed...

    Great 3D printed stuff!

    I bought 2 of the petal lens and received them about a week ago. Initially disappointed because the radius is significantly larger than the barrel of the lens. I had to add 6 layers of office tape to give it a snug enough fit so it didn't fall off when the camera was pointing downward...

    Phantom 2 Vision + range

    Yes it does. There is already a thread about building your own reflector antennas if you search for it. I made reflectors for both the 2.4 gHz and 5.8 gHz signals (literally took 5 mins). In addition to using either of the 2 available booster apps, my range for both control and FPV went from...

    Lights - Home Lock ?

    I also use the app. The satellite symbol turns blue with >= 6 satellites and the telemetry data, specifically the 'Distance', gets a numerical value instead of 'N/A'. Only time I used the lights for confirmation of home lock is when I was practicing without the camera/gimbal attached in which...

    Boost Your Range - And Build it Tonight !

    Looks just like the OP's pictures, just a smaller radius due to smaller cylinder used. I also created a larger notch on the reflector for the 5.8 gHz antenna so I didn't have to use any tape to keep it in place.

    Boost Your Range - And Build it Tonight !

    I'm quite surprised more people haven't tried this mod. My stock setup got me to 1800 feet out at 150-200 feet altitude. Running either of the 2 booster apps gets me to 2400-2800 feet out. My RC control limit has cut off sometimes as early as 1600 feet to >2800 feet. My goal has been to just...

    Can 1 remote cotrol 2 vision plus's

    Dirty-bird - I think what mb_guy meant was that the phantom controller can control only one vehicle at a time. I agree it's possible you can bind multiple receivers to one transmitter, I've done that too with all my other vehicles as I've stated. However, I think the transmitter can only have...

    Can 1 remote cotrol 2 vision plus's

    +1 to mb_guy. My Spektrum controller has been bound to 10 of my truggies/buggies/short-course/road cars. I can select through the on-screen menus which vehicle to bind but it only allows one receiver to be bound at a time. My cheap traxxas remote is also bound to multiple vehicles but it too...

    Anyone using Multi Battery Parallel Charger Board Plate?

    +1 to Dirty Bird. I too was initially interested in this parallel charging board until I also read about the uneven charging of the batteries (some as low as 80%). I looked for adapters so I could use my 200 watt 4 port charger that I use for my terrestrial RCs but couldn't find any adapters...

    Can 1 remote cotrol 2 vision plus's

    +1 to cahutch. My terrestrial spektrum remotes can hold more than 1 model, not sure about this DJI remote. I would not think so, however. Look at the manual as stated and it'll tell you about a link button/inidcator at the bottom of the phantom and you can use that to bind the bird to the...

    Where to buy?

    I will personally vouch for Daves Discount Motors (DDM). They are listed on the DJI authorized dealers site. I would recommend to anyone looking for a dealer to use after-sale support as their primary criteria for choosing where to buy. As previously mentioned, DJI sets the price here so...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range So I finally got my replacement camera/gimbal and have been able to fly FPV again. I bought both PVFlyer's V+ Booster app when it first came out and have been following this thread closely. During my wait for my replacement camera/gimbal, I've since...

    satellites drop slightly when recording video - SOLVED

    So I just tried this modification on my bird. In my backyard at a location I normally get no more than 4 satellites I now get 6. In another location of my backyard where I normally get 6 satellites I now get 9. This is on the ground and jumps to 12 in the air. Thank you Droneexpert! No...
