    P2 dual battery mod, which lipos?

    The site that I had do the battery unlocking sells 2 different batteries (3s and 4s) for this but they are WAY over priced compared to other sites. Plus the 4s batteries have a disclaimer at the bottom that they are compatible with p2 vision and p2 vision+ quads. They apparently won't work for...

    P2 dual battery mod, which lipos?

    Hi everyone, I have a dual battery mod on my P2 (H3-3D, non upgraded motors) and it works ok (DJI Phantom 2 Battery Unlocking Service). I am wondering what lipos others are using that have done this mod. Currently I have two 3300 3s 35c lipos (the Lumenier 3300mAh 3s 35c Lipo Battery) which...

    H3-3D torn cable repair/replacement?

    Hi guys, I have not been on here in ages so sorry for the delayed reply. Around january I ended up buying a crashed/for parts gimbal and took the ribbon out of it and put it I'm my gimbal and it worked great. I'm still using it to this day as a matter of fact.

    Headtracking set up?

    Goggles and fpv will almost certainly not be elimated for use, visual observers will most likely be required for this. Plus these are proposed rules, not actual rules in effect as of now. I don't want to come off as a jerk but if I do oh well. If anyone has experience or input that would help...

    Headtracking set up?

    I beg to differ, look at this video (https://youtu.be/oE3CVSC2jqs) it is one of many that show up when searching for "headtracking phantom 2". This is an example of what I want to accomplish. The cameras movements are controlled by the goggles headtracking option. My question is how many of the...

    Headtracking set up?

    I have seen some videos on YouTube of people using headtracking on their P2's. I realize that to do this I would need to switch to a new radio but am wondering how many channels would I need to do this? I am thinking of getting a spektrum dx8 if it will work. Also is it possible to move the...

    Losing communication with my Remote Control

    Maximum range depends on your surroundings and is not a defined distance, it can also change from one day to the next. I personally have gone out to just over 2000m in one direction before loosing radio connection, then going the opposite direction I was only able to get out to 1200m before...

    Finally fixed my Yaw Drift

    Try and get a "bullseye level" that looks like this (http://www.preciseshooter.com/blog/Mosi ... 0level.jpg). It was only $1 or $2 at my local Menards (Home Depot or Lowes also) and it will be much easier to get the FC (naza) perfectly level since it levels in all directions at the same time...

    Lens Filters and Gimbal Balance

    Below are some pics of how my gimbal naturally hangs with my filter on it. I ended up buying the 3 pack from polar pro (see pics). I doubt ill use the polarizer or ND 3 stop filters very much but you never know. I plan on counter balancing my gimbal using dual hook Velcro and coins. How much...

    Finally fixed my Yaw Drift

    I am glad everyone else is having good results after doing this like I did! I don't remember the original person that thought of FC leveling in the link that I posted at the start of this thread but they deserve all of the credit!!!! After roughly 10 flights my p2 still yaws on a dime (wind or...

    Finally fixed my Yaw Drift

    I would also get a bullseye level ($2 at a hardware store) and make sure the flight controller inside the phantom is level when calibrating. In my opinion that's the most important component to level! When my motors were level the FC was still not level at all so that's when I decided to only...

    Finally fixed my Yaw Drift

    Hi everyone, I have not seen a fix for this issue on this sight and wanted to share my results. If this has already been posted sorry but it was so helpful to me i wanted to share! When I first got my p2 while hovering it would yaw on a dime and never drift more then a few inches in any one...

    Painting P2 shell (for non artist)

    Here are a couple pics of my painted phantom 2. Its nothing fancy, just all flat black. I was going for the "Batmans Phantom" look. I am thinking of swapping out the motors for some e300's to complete the look but from what I hear they dont improve flight time of performance so I am still on the...
