Dronexpert gimbal for Phantom Vision
- Thread starter dronesetc
- Start date
I just placed an order too. My money from PayPal is gone and I didn't receive an order confirmation email of any kind. Hopefully I get something!
Yeah don't fret it too much . .it took about a day for me to get my confirmation email. . and remember there could be a time difference. Rob is very on the spot for answering emails and the such. And I'm sure right now they are slammed!YeeaaBoii said:
Yes, so you will need to take the lid off - it's straightforward, there's a "how to" in my signature below.
The only thing I'd caution is running the wire to their receiver out through the hole where the stock servo cable goes. There is very little clearance in the battery bay to that hole when the battery is fully installed. The stock servo wire actually runs in its own small channel, and is covered with protective material to ensure the battery slides over it, rather than snags it. That wire that dronexpert show to stick through the servo hole is going to potentially get pinched or worse by the battery eventually in my opinion. I had a close look at this area when working with Flytrex to see if we could use the stock servo wire channel as a route for their cable (not enough room).
Just my opinion, but if I were installing this I'd run the wire out through one of the holes that are just inboard of every landing skid upright where they meet the underside of the aircraft. You could then run the cable from there to the back of the dronexpert receiver.
DJI may have changed the internals since I got my early model in November, so if yours is different and there's space, then go for it.

Just backing up what eveyone else is saying, I did'nt get an email either then a week later someone mentioned on here they had confirmation so i emailed them, i had an order confirmation waiting for me the next day, mine was also paypal so nothing to worry about, i would imagine they are that busy its just a case of catching up so dont worry.

I'm confused. My transmitter doesn't have the lever on the back. Can the seventh channel be utilized without the lever?

Hey all Vision addicted. Make your wet 7th channel dream come true now. 2 minutes to go. Than you use google and find your own lever.

Note: you wont have it in your app anymore, but you can always switch back.

No Visions come with the lever as standard. If you order from Dronexpert then I assume they give you the lever as part of the deal (might be wise to check). If not you can buy levers that will fit that were designed to be used with the V1 Phantom and gimbals - the size and positioning of the hole on the back of the Vision transmitter is the same.

It looks like there's plenty of length on it if you go straight down the nearest hole...
I just want to stress that I don't know that putting it through the battery compartment will cause a problem, but it's something everyone should take a close look at and see if you're comfortable with it going that route when the battery is fully inserted (time and time again).
Off topic a bit, BUT, for those like myself using a tablet instead of a phone, I looked for a sun hood for my tab all over with no luck..made one..today I found someone who will sell the hoods less the fpv screen..http://www.uavdirect.com/FPV-Monitor-p/fpvm7.htm
15 bucks for the hood, but, not on their site itself, gotta call em..I ordered it.

I did check with them and they assured me it ships complete with lever. I had found some 3D printed ones on eBay as a backup.
I did think they would do that. Now we know their 7th channel secret, though - additional electronics! And it's no longer quite as plug and play as it was, but it's no more difficult than fitting a Flytrex - opening the Vision is pretty straightforward if you are careful.
Guys u dont need to activate 7th channel this way =-O check my last post on page 25 here. All u need is to buy the lever. If it comes with gimbal u dont need anything but one click in that software! to activate it.

Is this link a download to a virus ? I have not tried it but it looks suspicious to me. :!:
Well, it is always good to be careful. But i did it on my P2V and it works fine. I dont have the lever yet but i will get it soon. The software seems to be a modification of original Assistant there is only two clicks if u switch your drone to P2vision ir P2 (then your original Assistant recognizes your drone as P2 and X1 channel activates).

Apologies dave21 it was just the odd look of the way the screen came up on my Mac and that you currently have a low post count that made me suspicious. No offence intended and thanks for drawing this option to members attention.

No problem, I was wondering about 7th channel for some time. I visit our czech forum www.rcmania.cz and do not post to international. But when i finally found the solution i wanted to share, since i felt you guys r very keen on the lever on tx. If you have doubts go and check the rcgroups topic. There r even screenshots of the software. U can also share your concern about it. However i dont like that forum coz there is everything in one thread. Hundreds pages to read. Cheers from Prague, Czech republic, Europe.
