    FPV range loss

    I am running the DJI AVL58 and up until recently it has been great for me. Ive gone up to about 1200m before starting to lose the signal. Recently I havent had many opportunities to fly and my P2 was in its case undisturbed for maybe a month and a half. When I went to fly, the range on the FPV...

    Drift and unresponsiveness

    So I wasn't able to fly for quite some time and recently went out to do some video for the mustang club I'm in. We were all parked along a street and taking pics of each car with Mt Rainier in the background. There were some power lines going parallel with the road. When I took everything seems...

    Horizon Drift

    I just got this H3-3D to replace my old 2D. Its never really been quite right. It has a horrible horizon drift which it recovers from very slowly. Its really, really annoying. Heres a video from yesterday that shows what im talking about. Any ideas how to fix it...

    Horizon Drift Issue on New Zenmuse H3-2D

    Been a long time since I logged on here. I did finally get my gimbal fixed. I had to send it back to DJI. It took 4 hours on hold to even speak to someone. They sent me an email with detailed instructions for doing the update, which I had already done, so of course it didnt work. I emailed back...

    H3-2D Gimbal Mounting Bracket for Phantom 2

    I definitely like the looks of the brackets on shapeway but I think yours looks better Wilso. How can we buy your design?? Im also really curious to know what you did to replace those useless anti-drop screws. Ive been using zip-ties but your setup looks way nicer.

    Alternatives to the zenmuse H3-2D gimbal for Phantom 2?

    bump because I may need to replace my zenmuse and i dont want to pay $370 if I dont have to! That stella looks great but I didnt see anything about an adapter for the P2, only the P1.

    H3-2D firmware upgrade (1.8) ruined my gimbal!

    I was wrong. The setting was in fact "off". I tried disconnecting the gimbal, calibrating x1 and the rest of the rc, reconnecting and calibrating, and its doing the exact same thing. I did the calibrations in both the RC and P2 assistant softwares. No response from DJI yet. Dronefly has...

    H3-2D firmware upgrade (1.8) ruined my gimbal!

    I was hoping this firmware upgrade would make the tilt control better but instead, my gopro is always facing a little down, and when i adjust the pitch to the bottom, it actually looks behind the P2. The real issue comes when I turn the quad. I read of it described as "horizon drift", but its...

    Zenmuse gimbal not straight?

    I dont know what to say about the jittering. I would imagine by power cycling, it would be just to turn everything off and back on. I doubt youd need to remove the camera and do anything like that, but I really dont know. Im having some issues with my gimbal right now after upgrading the...

    Zenmuse gimbal not straight?

    if thats a P2, the bottom bracket is horribly weak. It probably just got bent up. You can try and bend it back or buy a replacement for $75. Maybe someday a more rugged, plastic, aftermarket option will be available. I certainly hope so.

    P2 H3-2D all jacked up after upgrading to 1.8

    I didnt explain that very clearly. The motion is all messed up. I read of the problem im having being described as "horizon drift". Manual adjustment of the tilt lever gives me a range of motion (if you consider pointing straight out from the quad as 0*) from about -30* at top to maybe -110*. As...

    P2 H3-2D all jacked up after upgrading to 1.8

    I was hoping this firmware upgrade would make the tilt control better but instead I now my gopro doesnt come up to level with the lever all the way to the top position, and when I go to the bottom position, its actually looking behind the P2 instead of straight down. To go along with that, check...
