    Charging Phantom 2 Batteries with Pure Sine Wave Inverter

    Re: Charging Phantom 2 Batteries with Pure Sine Wave Inverte Sound like it would at least be safe enough for me to try! Here's what my set-up looks like. Weight is a major issue - close to 100lbs...

    Charging Phantom 2 Batteries with Pure Sine Wave Inverter

    Re: Charging Phantom 2 Batteries with Pure Sine Wave Inverte Thanks for your reply. I guess that my concern is with melting a charger and battery... I don't know enough about these things outside of my strobes being fine. I can run a 2400 and 1200, both at full power and get over 150 full...

    GoPro stills

    They're 8mp. I've personally found that the GoPro is sensitive to the card used in this mode. I was trying it with an Ultra, but had all sorts of issues. Started using an Extreme Pro and seemed to work just fine.

    Charging Phantom 2 Batteries with Pure Sine Wave Inverter

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Wondering about charging Phantom 2 batteries with the DJI charger plugged into a pure sine wave inverter. I have a Powerbright XTW3000 (http://www.powerbright.com/XTW3000-12.html)inverter hooked up to an Optima marine battery. As I'm not very...

    GoPro, Timelapse + Video and Card Speed

    GoPro, Timelapse + Video and Card Speed

    I just looked it up and saw it at 8mp stills with 1080p. My new Extreme Pro card just arrived so hopefully this will work out. Are the Ultras too slow for the 3+ in general, irregardless of the shooting mode? I tried a time lapse only today, and either I didn't set the camera correctly, or the...

    GoPro, Timelapse + Video and Card Speed

    Yes - I have a Hero 3+ Black and it has the option of being able to do time lapse (5 seconds or longer) simultaneously with some video settings. But seeing that people are having issues with Ultra cards doing 1080p alone, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that I'm having trouble doing them...

    GoPro, Timelapse + Video and Card Speed

    Thanks for your reply - good to know! Are you able to do the Timelapse/1080p at all the fps listed in the GoPro menu? Cheers

    GoPro, Timelapse + Video and Card Speed

    Not sure if anyone has addressed this issue. I'm flying a Phantom 2 with a GoPro and FPV. I have the 5.8 Immersion transmitter. I'm trying to do a 5 second timelapse along with 1080p @ 30fps writing to an Ultra 32gb card. I seem to have the following issues: Sometimes no FPV and the GoPro is...
