    DJI Battery only showing solid bars on #2 & #3

    I flew the battery down to 51% and was finished with my non commercial flight over a house. I drove to another location and made a quick flight over an area I was curious about and the battery hit the first warning by the time I landed. I took everything down and headed home. When I went to get...

    No picture

    Update: This is a lesson for everyone who swears they have checked everything. I was still reluctant to rewire internally. The hub had worked so well. OI Photography made just the right statement about checking the switch on the mini. I flipped it to video and sure enough got a picture on the...

    No picture in FPV installation

    Correct on the bypass. I wanted to try all the easiest solutions to pinpoint the problem and that got me started. Went back after answering this post and found the plug-in to the iosd mini wasn't fully seated. Video and telemetry are now fully functioning. Sometimes you need that reminder to try...

    No picture in FPV installation

    Flip the switch on the hub to VID and try, if you haven't already. I had the same problem and got a picture after doing this. Now my problem is no telemetry to my monitor. It seems I'm not getting power to the iosd mini and that was preventing the video feed. Something to try before getting too...

    No picture

    Thanks guys. I ran a smaller KumbCam setup through the hub wired up the same as I described and got decent reception out to 700m with some Fat Shark antennas. In the middle of my last non-line of sight flight I lost video feed and had to turn the RC off just to get the copter to come home, since...

    GoPro Black 3+ on a H3-2D gimbal. FPV hub with ios-d mini and Boscam TS832 TX with a 3 bladed skew planar antenna. I have power to the transmitter. I removed the red wire from the video side of the plug on the TX and the black camera ground to the brown wire of the hub plug and the yellow video...

    How to accept payment for aerial photography in U.S

    I am a real estate agent and I do take aerials of my listings. Most of the agents in my office know about my "hobby" and if they have a property that interests me enough I'll take a look a their listing from a higher perspective than I might otherwise be able to see from the ground. I charge a...

    I think I fried my GoPro

    That's the only possibility I can think of as well. The vtx was connected to the FPV hub and the USB was connected to the vtx. So power out of the battery would have to flow through the hub through the vtx and then back through the USB video feed leads. Not sure if that is possible or at what...

    I think I fried my GoPro

    I have a Phantom 2 with the H3-2D and a GoPro Hero 3+ mounted. I went with the Kumba Cam combination as a starter FPV and failed to read that it would need more parts or modification to work with the P2. I installed the FPV hub and iosd mini. I spliced the battery wires from the vtx to the brown...

    Standard Kumba Cam setup on P2

    Ksc thanks for all the advice. I've managed to troubleshoot my way through most of this. I see your point on the hub since I had to reconnect and solder wires anyway. Nonetheless I'm fairly stubborn and mounted it. The vtx has power, but no video feed to the monitor. I reconnected the USB cable...

    Standard Kumba Cam setup on P2

    That is the setup I purchased. The range is fine for what I intend to do. I'm a real estate agent and just plan to use the video so I can make sure an elevated shot is lined up correctly or if I do a direct overhead of the pool is the whole thing in the picture. I may change out the antenna's...

    Standard Kumba Cam setup on P2

    I bought the Kumba cam package and in my haste to get something in the mail I didn't read their disclaimer that it will not work with the P2 without further modification or parts. I have an FPV hub so can I modify one of the cables that came with the hub to run the vtx that came with this setup...

    Full Throttle & Propellers Fail to Spin Fast Enough

    Re-calibrate the remote control with the RC Assistant and make sure "Mode 2" is selected. Then calibrate the sticks with Phantom 2 software and you should back in business.

    New copter with Zenmuse H3-2D has issues.

    So basically I followed the video posted by Adam from last year in this post viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1496 I did get the linear potentiometer instead of the radio as suggested later in his post. Once I popped the tilt control pot off I put solder on the leads. Then I decided to put the dial between...

    New copter with Zenmuse H3-2D has issues.

    So I got the gimbal to tilt using the advice from xgeek. I had to open the RC and use a screwdriver on the pot, but it did work. Today I opened it back up and could tell the metal tabs holding the pot off the board were bent and that's why the lever was not engaging. Straightened them up with...
