    Recovering Footage

    I did exactly what you said and the file came back to life !! This was an important file. I produce a weekly sportfishing show for FOX Sports West and we had just come back from British Columbia with lots of King Salmon footage. Would have hated to lose this one. Thanks so much !! Danny...

    Video file won't open

    Thanks much. Actually, a previous post (suggestion) to my issue was that I simply put the sd card back in and shoot another file and shut down correctly. I did that and guess what! The bad file is now a good file. But I will use the P2V+ forum from now on. Thanks again to all !!

    Video file won't open

    Hello All, Back in July I had an issue with one of my video files out of my P2V+. It would not open. As it turned out, I must have powered down the Phantom before I hit the stop recording button. The result was that particular file was there but I could not get it to open. I put...

    Recovering Footage

    This is a shot in the dark but back in July a very gracious member helped me to recover some footage I had shot but forgot to stop recording when I shut down my Phantom. Well, I did that again and need that clip recovered. Hopefully he will see this and respond. He was very helpful and I...

    Waterproofing

    I have seen this YouTube video before. Notice, there isn't a camera. And yes, anything attached to the Phantom seriously degrades flying ability; aerodynamics, etc., as well as cuts well into flying time. Liquipel does not do drones anymore. They had too many failures. I called them. And...

    Waterproofing

    Hey DB.... I actually looked at this a few months ago. Not a bad idea and at least a temporary way to get it back. But of course the SD card is about all I would be salvaging. Otherwise, the drone is a loss. And I agree, it would be good on other items I use such as the underwater GoPro...

    Hey Phello Phantom Phliers !! I produce a weekly sportfishing program for FOX Sports West Television (HD) which airs here in SoCal, AZ, NV and HI. I got my first Phantom (2) back in January. Got real confident in flying/filming. The Phantom is a real game changer in the video production...

    Need some assistance on my phantom

    Hey let me tell you... don't feel that way. I have been a professional videographer for 30 years and television producer for FOX for the last 12. And this Phantom thing gets me baffled much of the time. It's live and learn/trial and error with me. I even dumped my first Phantom 2 into a...

    Need some assistance on my phantom

    I thought so too until a colleague of mine got the V2+. We cannot see a noticeable difference in the two after editing and sending the final product on digital HD to FOX. The fact that I have the smart phone right in front of me attached to the radio and with the added controls makes much more...

    Need some assistance on my phantom

    This happened to me and I had forgotten to remove the lens cap and gimbal lock. Probably not your case though. Many of us are newbies to the Phantom. I got my first one only four months ago. That was the Phantom 2 with GoPro 3. I produce a weekly sportfishing program for FOX Sports West...

    Getting started

    Thanks for your help guys. It means a lot. It would appear that what I need is the Phantom 2 (not Vision) with the gimbal. I have been doing some research and some of the gimbals come with remote pitch. I just need to be sure I get a unit that does have the wireless ability to watch the...
