I too crashed my P2V+. Took out a motor and broke the ESC in half. Also pulled a plug receptacle off the main board. Yes it landed hard. Before I started repairs I tried to power on. I got almost all of power on tone before the battery shut down. Replaced the shell one motor and ESC and main board. When finished I tried to power on. On the second push all the bars light up plus the red LED. But no tone (that tone comes from the battery). Then I hear a click like a relay opening (also comes from the battery) and it shuts down. I tried all batteries and all do the same thing. But they work just fine in my other P2V+. I've checked every wire, cable and connector all looks good. Any ideas?

Hi all.
I am a newbie to both this forum and any flying machines.
I have purchased a pre-owned Phantom 2 vision +, however my phone is not compatible to fly it and I don't own an Ipad.

Its a lovely day in the North of Scotland, but all I can do is search for the most suitable phone or ipad to compliment my purchase.

I would fully appreciate the knowledge and experiences of this forum members to make the right purchase first time.
I don't particularly need a phone, so any suitable gadget for the dedicated use with the Phantom would be good.

Regards
Milly

Re: General Discussion Forum PLEASE HELP

Hello,
I have a DJI Phantom 2 V. 2.0 and just plugged it into a laptop. I took it outside and turned it on and the started getting a solid red error light. I plugged it back into my laptop and it said "Error-29", it explains how to repair this problem but I have no clue what they mean. Anyone have a simpler way of helping me? It also said CSG-Error.

PLEASE HELPPPPPPP

Thanks

Willard, Milly and glataif,

Welcome to the forum.
I don't think people monitor this thread much. Jump right in and start a thread or post in an existing one.
Cheers!

I'm looking for a good Phantom 2 (non vision) fpv setup, preferably using a tablet or phone instead of a monitor. I don't want to use a fatshark system or a black pearl. So basically can I set up fpv with a tablet like a nexus 7 or something? I need this setup for filming with a gopro so any suggestions on what components to pick and will a tablet work?

Koala, I can't say, but you should post this as a new thread. Only new people read this top sticky thread.

Can't be done because your GoPro to tablet wifi would interfere with Phantom2 transmit frequency.

 

[KoalaPilot]

Yes I know that EMCSQUAR, but with a FPV system/transmitter going from your gopro to the tablet wouldn't that work?

Hello everyone, new here.
I own the phantom vision +2 and really enjoy it. So much so that I purchased the Epson DT-200 FPV glasses. My problem is that I need to "side load" the DJI app and I'm unable to transfer it to the SIM card in my android phone. Does anyone have an option? I have tried going through the application manager and while successful loading other items the DJI app will not allow its transfer. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I don't have FPV a, but you will get an answer in the FPV topic. I didn't know this thread existed until a day ago! It seems to not have a topic and we have "off topic" for that. So, I don't know why this exists!

I think this is "On Topic". In "off topic" you might find discussions about making paper airplanes or the many uses for goat cheese.

I noticed DJI has requested some information. I'll offer some Wiki stuff to DJI on the 29th. Gonna hold out for at least $35 though. :lol:

I am not getting any LIVE video feedback from my Phantom 2 vision+ to my phone, LG G2, it was working fine for a couple months but all of a sudden, the next time I tried flying, I got no live video feedback, everything else is working ok, it still takes pictures and videos, I just can't see my first person video on my phone

 

[ianwood]

$30 worth of DJI credit? :lol:

Then this topic is "General Discussion" yet that is the title for posting below. I just don't get it. I hate to see newbies posting here, out of confusion and not getting help. Oh well, if it makes sense to you, that's great!

Edit: Look up about two posts. Someone needs help and no one helped. This person will decide this forum is useless and leave. But, if he created a headline and posted below, he would have gotten help. What I'm trying to say is that a free flowing discussion HERE is great if you love it. But, looking back, so many people aren't being helped.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum!

I wish I could help you, but the best place to get help is in the FPV section. Post below it where you see headlines from everyone. Make a headline, with your question, give the details as you just did and I'm sure that you will be helped.

Hello everyone.

Does anyone knows if a weather collector data accessory exist for a DJI 2?
