N017RW, Thank you for the advice. I did look up this topic, and even found a good youtube educational video on Patch Antenna Theory. That was indeed a good exercise for the brain :) Now that I know why a thicker patch is better, I'm moving to the next question: I have RF-V16 GPS tracker, which...

Can someone please explain why a 4mm thick antenna has better reception over a 2mm thick antenna of the same size. I want to understand the physics behind this magic. Thank you!

I have a P2 with no gimbal, so there is no interference from gimbal motors. I use auxiliary power cable (red/brown) to power FPV camera (sony CCD board camera) and Tx (ts5828 600mw). I flew for the 1st time today and was not happy with a lot of interference in the video. Does it make sense to...

Lack of Video problem is solved: Video cables that I have received with FR632 have incorrect wiring! Yes, it comes down to a shameful screw up. Yellow video plug and Red audio plug are reversed in my cables. The solution is as simple as swapping yellow and red plugs when connecting to a monitor...

I am using a Sony CCD Effio-e 700TVL camera. Tx: TS5828; Rx: FR632 I am getting the audio from the Rx, but not the video. The video is completely dead, not even static. I suspect either faulty Rx or Tx, but I still want to verify what iOSD mini sends to the Tx. Can I see anything in the PC that...

Is it possible to see iOSD mini video feed, or at least OSD data in the PC when connected with USB cable? What software do I need for this? I have installed DJI Data Viewer and DJI iOSD Assistant 4.1, but neither app shows any data besides the serial of the iOSD unit. The PC is Windows 8.1...

Apparently, they came up with smaller and lighter versions of 200mw and 600mw transmitters, but I want to make sure that these don't overheat because heat has nowhere to go. These are relatively new and I can find little feedback on them...

http://www.foxtechfpv.com/ts5828-58g-600mw-32ch-super-mini-vtx-p-1923.html Does it do what they say it does? It is so small but rated 600mw, I am afraid that it will overheat because heat will have nowhere to dissipate. Also, which receiver would be recommended for this receiver? Thanks all.

Hi all, I am new to this hobby. Got a Phantom 2, next step - to add FPV. I already have a Sony CCD camera and a 7" TFT LCD , which I have previously bought for other projects. LCD is not a high resolution, but I already have it and I can upgrade it later if it does not suffice. Can someone...

Thanks to all for valuable responses. First of all, I now know what this condition is called - cogging. I've googled "DJI Phantom cogging" and found a number of discussions on this topic, as well as general discussions on brushless motors cogging. Second, I did the "binding" test to see if the...

Hi all, I've got a new Phantom 2, and one of the motors is much harder to rotate by hand than others. I have noticed this when I was attaching props. All rotors rotate with a jerking motion (because they bond to magnets), but this one requires considerably more force to "jerk" it from one magnet...

See this thread for my solution to green/yellow lights: http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/green-yellow-status-lights-tricks-for-color-blind.39497/

Jaybee, Does it matter for TK 102 whether it is placed vertically like you did, or horizontally? Is it possible to place TK under Phantom's belly and extend its GPS antenna to the top of the hull? Thank you.

Hi all, I see a lot of posts from people who have a trouble telling apart green from yellow lights on Phantom. I have no problem 95% of time in the regular life, but DJI uses these specific tints of washed yellow and washed green that look the same to me. Ironically, I can tell apart...
