    New P2V+ user

    Hey all, Just thought I'd post my first experiences with the P2V+. I've had it for about a month now and have had about 4 or 5 small crashes, from about 5 feet up in the air. I wasn't sure what triggered those crashes -- I was flying the P2V+ very low (5 feet!) and inbetween houses and...

    Replace Stock Vision+ Camera with Mirrorless

    You'd need a different gimbal. It's not designed for weights different than the stock camera. But with a more robust gimbal you could mount a heavier camera without any problems. But you'd be erasing the reason to have a P2V+, as the bulk of the cost is the gimbal and camera.

    Replace Stock Vision+ Camera with Mirrorless

    What lens would you want to put on your mirrorless body? I think the stock camera is quite nice. It's got its issues, but they're nothing that can't be dealt with. It would be wonderful to have a super-telephoto lens at over 20 megapixels... but super-telephoto lenses are big and heavy...

    USB connection to Phantom units

    I did a quick search for previous threads on this topic but wasn't able to find any -- nor did I have many good ideas to search for. If anyone can point out previous threads on the topic, that would be great. And thanks for letting me know what you know. I won't spend too much time on this...

    USB connection to Phantom units

    Has anyone had any success with deciphering a direct USB connection to a Phantom copter (of any variety)? I'm curious to what extent the firmware can be manually tweaked. Does anyone know what protocol the Phantom communicates in? As far as I know, the DJI Assistant Software is the only...
