    Anyone purchased gimbal camera board from eBay?

    Finally got the P3A up in the air to get some video and stills. First photo dedicated to Leland (Kachemak Diver) for helping me out with a gimbal board. Had issues when I tried it out first time. It gave gimbal motor overload. While I was adjusting the roll motor position, I ripped the cable...

    Cold temporarily fixes no image transmission, 8/15 module problem?

    I can see the first nitrous powered drone being developed on this thread. Hope you find the cure. Please update any findings as well, as it's great to hear success stories and real solutions. A lot of threads come to an abrupt halt with no conclusions made, leaving any followers wondering if...

    Phantom 3 Pro won't connect to dji app

    https://phantompilots.com/threads/fixing-flash-programming-in-dm365-chip-within-gl300-remote-controller.144123/ I saw this on the search. Looks like you have the same issue with 8 and 15 code not detected. Not sure if my link is the same topic as above, but do a search and you will see many have...

    Add location to profile?

    Thanks for that Jeff. Opening in new tab shows full options. Hopefully working now.

    Add location to profile?

    Hi guys, how do I add my location to my profile? Noticed some of you have it and others don't. Think it is a good idea to have it shown on profile for certain topics. Especially when looking at the classifieds. I did do a search but there's 10 pages of results and none of them look like...

    Phantom No Fly Zone

    Do you have the app UAV Forecast ? If you do have it open it up, click on maps and it will show you the fly zone you are in. If you don't have it, I suggest to download it. It's free for hobby use and has two day forecast if it's good to fly or not. I also live about 11 miles from the airport...

    Anyone purchased gimbal camera board from eBay?

    Waiting patiently on Lelands board to arrive, get it fitted and hope our Covid lockdown ends soon so I can eventually get out and get some footage. Douglas - What happened with that old board did a battery burst on it, where has the brown marks came from?

    Anyone managed to fit 3rd party gimbal/camera to a Phantom???

    That was my line of thinking, there are only two multi connectors that go between gimbal and drone, each with 4 wires if I remember, which would mean most of the brains for gimbal movement must be on the gimbal board and not the main board. I am not skilled enough to pretend how to graft a 3rd...

    DJI Problems

    Every image that can be captured by a dji drone is already available on Google Earth!!! That's Google the non-Chinese company that makes it available. Our data is being harvested every minute of every day, it's the modern way. I'm not saying the theory is not plausible that the CCP could use...

    Anyone purchased gimbal camera board from eBay?

    Thanks for the reply KachemakDiver. Looked up your location and that looks like a beautiful part of the world you live in. Depends on the price you were thinking of for the board would be the deciding factor if it is viable to pay postage. I would rather wait the length of time it would take...

    Anyone purchased gimbal camera board from eBay?

    It wasn't just the brown tab that was broken, the holder sides are gone. Tried epoxy but did not work. It works if I jam a small piece of acetate across the terminals for a short time but the vibration must move it. It's a shame as the very reason I bought the phantom was to take great video...

    Anyone managed to fit 3rd party gimbal/camera to a Phantom???

    Aberdeen in Scotland. Aberdeen people are famous for being tight with money, hence the comment about not sending drone to DJI. :)

    Anyone managed to fit 3rd party gimbal/camera to a Phantom???

    Hi, with all the clever tech minds on here has anyone successfully fitted a 3rd party gimbal/camera onto a Phantom? It would appear after a quick search that the gimbal/camera is the most sought after part that often costs the same as a used drone complete. Anyone that can afford to send a drone...

    Anyone purchased gimbal camera board from eBay?

    Hi all, I have a phantom 3 adv with a dodgy gimbal camera board. It's only the small connector that the ribbon cable goes into that's broken. eBay seller offering one for 3A but says it was removed off a Mavic air. Did the Mavic Air share the same gimbal board?? They certainly don't look the...

    Missing clip for ribbon cable to gimbal boardrc

    quaddamage, that's my preferred option if I can prize a clip off an old board and stick on my exsisting board. But getting one is proving difficult. If anybody that's fixed a similar problem by purchasing a new connector could confirm the part number and supplier they used, that is another...
