    Upgrading compass to CAN-bus for iOSD

    Thanks, I guess I have a Phantom V1! Also confirmed in this post, my GPS looks exactly like the one labeled "Non P2 GPS Board": DJIGuys.com • View topic - Puzzling question.

    Upgrading compass to CAN-bus for iOSD

    How can you tell this from the pictures? My wife got it for me several years back for my birthday, it said Phantom 2 on the box, it takes Phantom 2 replacement rotor blades and guards. I read on a forum somewhere how it is possible to port a Phantom 1 into a Phantom 2 case - could it be...

    Looking for a (cheap) FPV Setup

    For budget FPV, another option is Quantom DIY goggles. It comes as a styrofoam kit that you assemble with a screen and fresnel slider for $50. Here is how to enlarge the view using larger fresnel sheets that are ~ $7 for 5 (I use 3 in mine, and the view is much larger). Then add a boscam...

    BATTERY WARNING!!!!!!

    You are right, about the Phantom 2 *Vision*, and it comes with the proprietary battery connection (I am not a fan of the unnecessarily complex and proprietary DJI battery plug system). I have the less expensive Phantom 2 (non-Vision), and it comes with just the standard 2-pin plug, and it is...

    BATTERY WARNING!!!!!!

    @kenjancef I would recommend trying one of the 3rd party batteries for the P2. I tried 1, then saw it getting significantly more charge than the 2 than came from DJI with the Phantom, so then I got 2 more: http://amzn.to/1YbcWAn I rarely burn through all 5 batteries in a single flying...
