    P2 versions

    Can someone tell me, is there any difference in the various versions of the Phantom 2 in the aircraft it's self or just in what features/accessories you get with the Phantom 2? Are all the aircraft's the same? What is the control frequency of the Phantom 2 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz? Thanks

    Battery questions

    The assumption was comparing the OSD mAH consumed with the capacity rating of the battery. You gave me a lot of good information but it wasn't much help in answering my questions :D .

    Battery questions

    I need a little battery class. I'm not sure what some of the terms are and what the norms are for the batt. First I think I need to get a charger that tells me how much juice I'm putting back into the battery. What are some good chargers that will do this and are there any that will charge...

    Crash Worthy Gimbal

    That is a good idea, would be a little lighter than screws but small screws wouldn't be but a few grams as well. We have some real thin washers at work that I don't think would weigh but a 1/4 gram.

    Crash Worthy Gimbal

    Glad to hear, I'm getting better but I sure am not crash proof yet. On the popping out of the rubber shocks, I almost lost my GP3 because of those things. Maybe the 2nd flt. with them I crashed and picked up the craft, walked off ready to fly again ...not noticing the GP was gone, I freaked...

    How crash worthy are gimbals. :oops: Obviously you don't want to crash but it's gonna happen. Are the Carbon fiber or aluminum the best? Thanks

    Batt. alarm

    Has anyone tried one of the audible batt. alarms you can buy that connect to the S2, S3, S4 connector on your batt.? Did it work? I got one but I get the red flashing LED and it lands before the audible alarm sounds. While on the subject, are the factory setting for the battery limits and...

    Fat Shark Preditor/Skylark Trace OSD install.

    Has anyone installed this combination in their Phantom? I just got all the hardware together and am ready except for some compatibility issues. Anyone have any help to offer. The connector on the FS TX is 5 pin and the video connector on the Skylark Trace main board is 6 pin. The OSD came with...

    Mounting the FS camera

    Ended up zip tying it to the strut, it will do for now, have a cable ordered for the gopro and will use that as the permanent solution till I get a gimbal, then it's back to this camera I guess. Really poor design when you consider it's use but I don't know if FS designed this camera or just...

    Mounting the FS camera

    What a pain mounting that little camera that comes with the FS Predator. Would help if the connector was out the side and not the back :?: . Would love to get some input on how some of you mounted the camera. Does anyone make a bracket (other than Shapeways, I think they do but I need...
