    How to improve fpv distance?

    There are many people using immersionrc 600 and black pearls getting well over 3000m, which batteries become the main problem.

How with the new...

    how many flights on your phantom 2

    I have had 138 flights, and have flown into the odd tree, along the way mostly caused by not concentrating, few broken props and that's all. for Reference to the poster above, use the right hard toggle switch to switch out of "fail Safe" and back in to manual, Simon

    Adding fpv goggles to system with monitor

    yes you are correct the Transmitter can be received by more that one , so both the goggles and Monitor can be used at the same time.
