    A difference between Pro and Adv camera/gimbals?

    I've had several P2V+s and usually developed problems with the camera system. I'm not a pro photographer so don't care much about the enhanced photo resolution, but I would like to buy the model with the sturdiest camera system if there is any difference.

    Getting Gimbal repaired?

    ****! I just paid another eBay seller $199, and now he's asking $249 for the rest he has. My seller says his is "original DJI replacement ribbon cable" and the picture is different from the one above.

    Diagnosing Camera-to-App Problem

    Well, I got the cover off the P2V+ and looked around. Didn't see any loose connections, but pushed on all the connectors I could see. Tried to power it up and verify the problem and, what do you know, it works fine now! That happens a lot with all sorts of mechanical things... Thanks for the...

    Diagnosing Camera-to-App Problem

    My P2v+ crashed into a tall fence and came down pretty hard. The leg that holds the compass is a little mangled but still serviceable. The gimbal still works fine with no binding or overheating. The P2V+ still flies well and all the basic functions seem OK. The only lasting problem is that the...

    started my RMA

    Hi myrick, I might have done the same thing. The app doesn't see the camera. Did you see actual breakage or just the app not working? I was hoping it's just a loose connection. Haven't opened the P2V+ yet.
