    Lost Complete Control of P2V+ Today, Near Miss Crash

    Two major issues: 1. You are flying form inside a car. Metal of any sort acts as an RF shield especially at the 5Ghz range which is the control frequency the P2's use. Depending on where the P2 is distance and orientation to you, in all probability it had poor control signal. 2. Its obviously...

    Is the PV2 now obsolete?

    Oh yes it is most definitely obsolete, so the best thing to do is sell your P2V as quickly and cheaply as possible so that I can have an unlimited source of cheap spares... lol... Seriously if you just bought a P2V and feel disappointed because a newer version just came out, don't be. The P2V...

    4th time NOT a CHARM - P2V Camera issues still

    I have to agree with the others the pictures look fine to me. My own camera is away for replacement given I had the dreaded purple splodge on every 14Mp still image. When I bought P2V I understood it is not going to give true professional quality pictures. But I think it does an admirable job...
