    7th Channel activation

    Geert, I can confirm the following, and figured I would share, in case there are others like myself who are NOT USING the smartphone app with their P2V: On my P2V, after unzipping/installing/running the Phantom-2 tool, checking the H32D box, closing that tool, then launching the Phantom...

    7th Channel activation

    Geert, thank you for your many helpful posts on this topic. I have a P2V, and I don't use the DJI FC200 Camera or the DJI App. (I have a POV setup with a monitor and iOSDmini) I am presently running the current firmware, and I am about to add a potentiometer to my Tx and activate the 7th...

    Rebuild / Re-configuring a P2V...

    Yes, in fact, I spoke to HobbyWireless about it before making my choice. I read the RC Group thread you linked...It contains virtually no useful information about the performance of 1.3GHz.

    Rebuild / Re-configuring a P2V...

    Well, I think I'm on my way! Ordered a bunch of parts last night, to do this conversion. I have found a few examples of this conversion, as done by others. I determined that I need to attach a DJI CAN BUS cable to the P2V mainboard (which it does not normally have). The easiest way to get the...

    2.4ghz vs 5.8ghz

    I am in essentially the same boat as the OP, having picked up a P2V without it's camera/gimbal. As already mentioned, the flight control on the P2V is done over 5.8GHz. In order to get FPV with my go pro, I will need to add a 2.4GHZ transmitter/receiver and also to overlay flight data, an...

    Rebuild / Re-configuring a P2V...

    Thanks Professor...Actually, I'm having no trouble to find a 2.4GHz video Tx/Rx pair (link in my post above, as well as this conversion on a P2V that I found): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIekBV6K7SQ I certainly will be going through the P2V thoroughly, to check for any damage. I'm not into...

    Rebuild / Re-configuring a P2V...

    Thanks Zeno. I am glad to hear that it is possible to fly without the DJI camera installed. I do have the DJI, two-stick 5.8Ghz control transmitter, that originally came with this P2V. So, it looks like I won't be able to use the IOS app, and that is OK. I'm not really interested in...

    Rebuild / Re-configuring a P2V...

    Hello, and thank you to all of you that have shared a wealth of great information, in these forums. I am not new to R/C, but the knowledge I have is dated (have been away from the hobby for some 15 years) and this is my first quadcopter. I recently picked up a slightly used P2V on Ebay... And...
