I've been trying to get to an area on the golf course I spend a lot of time at, where there's a pond and an old dirt road. I'd love to get up to around 350 feet and get some video and stills from over there. The weather today has been... unsettled. It's drizzled for a while, rained for a while and we've seen some nice bright sunshine. Right around 6:30PM the sun broke through, but there were still enough clouds to let me easily see the Nexus screen.
I schlepped my case a little over 500 yards to the spot I'd picked out, went through my checklist and everything was go. I looked at the P2V and had the nice slow blinking greenies. I looked down at the app and the camera was suddenly grayed out. What ??? I finally looked at the extender and... battery was out of gas.
If I had a P2V+ I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ITS CONDITION ON THE PREVIOUS FLIGHT !!!! :shock:
I remember seeing a thread on here, that I can't seem to find, where someone had put a digital readout on both the TX and extender showing voltage... I'd love to find that thread and work that mod... This sucks.
