    Update on P-OPTI crash

    Best self-giving advice. While you are waiting for your bird, watch every single YouTube video you can find about the DJI P3. It's what I did, and it really helps. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

    Firmware update

    Friendly tip - this update has to be done for every battery you have too. The first time it runs will take a tad longer as it updates the firmware in the copter then the battery. When it is done, power down, insert next battery, power up and let it run again. it will be shorter to update this...

    If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 READ!

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R I just got off the phone with DJI's tech/customer support in Torrance, CA. I explained the blue staining and stress cracks on the front two arms, and the deteriorating motor mounts inside. I was asked if the unit had been crashed and...

    Once and for all...GoPro control myth?

    Good points gents on being specific - so here goes... I want what the Phantom 2 Vision+ v3 offers - but instead I want to use my GoPro camera instead of DJI's. So I want to control the picture taking, the settings, start-stop video, etc etc. through my iPhone or a similar device. You get a live...

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R I have started an email inquiry regarding getting this unit fixed. It did look brand new upon opening it, although the outer box had some damage. Hopefully I can get the updates too...

    Once and for all...GoPro control myth?

    Still a mixed bag of responses I see - and thanks BTW for responding. Too bad you can't get an equivalent to the Phantom 2 Vision+ v3 but instead with a GoPro, or other camera of choice within the same price point as the P2Vision+v3

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R I opened my Phantom up tonight, I purchased mine through Amazon.com from Adorama. No version numbers on the ESC's, very stiff wires, no vents on the WIFI module, blue dots on the capacitors. I have about a total of 4 hours of flight...

    Yuneec q500...anyone jumping ship

    I would not mind having one of these in addition to my P2v3, but not as a replacement. And I'll wait till the next rev of the Q500 before I consider it seriously.

    Once and for all...GoPro control myth?

    I can't seem to find the definitive answer, does a version of the DJI Phantom (or any other manufacture) exist that allows the same complete control of the camera as in the vision+, with a GoPro (3-4)? Start/stop video, take a picture, change settings, color balance, etc.... ? Not asking...

    V+ v3 RC Gimbal wheel problem?

    Curious - why after calibrating with the RC software, do you have to calibrate again with the Phantom software? Thanks for that video BTW! That is the first time I have seen anyone do a video on these from a Mac! Made my day. :D
