I bought a Ready to Fly FPV Phantom 2 unit from Flying-Hobby.com for my birthday over a year ago.
What they sent me was a box of junk. No batteries I paid for, no packaging, no instructions and a million miles from RTF.
So I fought the good fight with my credit card company...and lost. Seems FH has friends in high places.
So anyway, I'm dusting this junk off and trying to make it work.
First problem is it won't connect to the software and let me update. I can find an old version on the net (3.8) and it connects fine. But when I try the latest software there's no connection. Hangs on the splash screen. Win7
Next is what the heck do I use to connect the gimbal to the bird? The clear plastic pins they say to use are way too long and hit the gimbal.
Next is what do I do with the video transmitter? There's no instruction on where to place this or how to wire it in.
Same question for the iosd.
How does it work with the gopro?
Where do I get power for the skyzone goggles?
I've contacted DJI and got no response. Flying-Hobby is worthless. Hopefully their forum will do better.
Thanks in advance.
oh, and fyi: I'm a long time pilot of both airplanes and heli, building etc. I have the phantom in Phoenix and have no problems flying it.
