Download and read this manual... Read it twice.https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3j33pqttj738 ... e.pdf?dl=0

A forum member put it together. The best manual I have found

 

[Eltrochaphantom]

Welcome Eltrochaphantom!

My Phantom 2 just arrived today, and I've flown it a grand total of three times. As mendezl mentioned: read, read, read! Then read some more. Watch as many YouTube videos as you can. I found this YouTube series to be INCREDIBLY helpful: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... pCEpA-8gDr

Here's some tips I have figured out really fast:
- If you think the indicator light is blinking slow, it's blinking slow. You'll know when it's blinking fast.
- Return to Home is AWESOME, but not super accurate. Use it to get back to your general area, then take back over to safely land.
- Switch the controller mode to Failsafe with the computer program. It makes it easier to flip between GPS and Failsafe mode.
- On that note, don't forget to update your firmware!

Have a blast, remember to always fly safe, and never stop learning!

[emoji23][emoji23] I BOUGHT THE PHANTOM 2 V2.0 (I'm afraid due to the ESC failures) with

the h33d gimbal, a plug n play cable, FS 250MW TX, BP 7CH, IOSDMINI. And few other stuff I can't remember.

I'm in South America in a little country called Uruguay (tell me if u know it or ever been here)


I will show my first video. When I have read manuals enough

Remember the "Off" switch on the controller is your bestest friend forever, the only thing it misses is a sign saying these words.

If there were a ten commandments for our flying things it would be the third.

Very cool Eltrochaphantom.

Uruguay is a beautiful country. I wish I were there this time of year.

Looking forward to seeing the video.

Tie a string to your bird if you're afraid of it flying off. Prop guards are worth their weight it gold, in my opinion.

Yeah here we are in summer so it is really hot we hit 34 C every single day.

Summers to hot winters to cold

New guy here as well. My Phantom 2 V2.0 with H-3D gimbal just arrived yesterday. I picked mine up off of Amazon and it came with a second battery for free for $939.00, I see the seller has since raised the price to $999.00. So I think I got a great deal. I went with the 2 V2.0 because I already own several GoPro 3+ cameras and am comfortable in how their video performs.

I'm excited to get this thing in the air but am crossing all t's and dotting all i's first. I have been flying a Hubsan x4 H107L for a few months now and have become pretty good at racing through the confines of a house and also flying outside, so I'm sure flying the DJI will be a short learning curve (at least in terms of basic flight).

I've updated all the firmware and calibrated the sticks. Just reading and reading and watching youtube stuff. In a day or two I plan on making my maiden voyage with out the gimbal attached. I think I will wait until I have several flights under my belt before I strap the gimbal and gopro on the belly of the thing.

Exciting stuff!

Oh... I've heard of your Country - have never been there... have heard it's beautiful. It does come up a LOT of trivia crack as a question
