    Uncontrolled descent, couldn't throttle up for lift

    It happens. Nothing to do with calibration or battery. I have seen many other reports. I believe this is why they keep lowering the maximum descent rate, hoping to mitigate these occurrences. When it happened to me I wasn't even descending, had just come to a stop. However, even when you are...

    New update includes Dataviewer...

    I hope third-party app developers handle that ;). p.s. It bothers me to see DJI not sign their apps. WTH!?

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Software Boosted Vision+ DOUBLE FPV Range I actually am. And can actually prove it. I tried reading through this thread to see what it supposedly does. I saw no reasonable explanation for this magic. I listed the only remotely plausible thing I could think of. EDIT: Supposedly it boosts...

    Should I Create A Poll To Collect Flyaway Data

    I'm so sick of hearing about supposed 'fly aways'. It's just so absurd. Maybe, every once in a blue moon, for some unlucky people, there is an actual hardware fault and a 'fly away', but it's highly unlikely and I've never seen anything of the sort. Even *if* there is some legitimate hardware...

    My vision plus is not stable

    You could try an advanced IMU calibration on a perfectly level surface. That fixed a similar condition for my P2V. I didn't have the issue with the P2V+. Sometimes I think the IMU is just a bit off. However, it may also simply be a difference in GPS satellite reception. I find that the more GPS...

    FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

    Re: Software Boosted Vision+ DOUBLE FPV Range I posted this, then deleted it .. but, I think it's worth saying: Please be careful with 'magic' apps that claim to boost FPV range. For those of you who do root your devices, please be very careful about what software you allow to run as root. Do...

    Why isn't the P2V+ Wifi network password protected?

    The answer is surely that it reduced complexity (reduces dev effort and potential problems and support hassles) to just go w/o encryption. It should be encrypted. All WiFI traffic should. It doesn't even matter if the lack of encryption can lead to any kind of exploit or not. It's just good...

    Jello on P2V+

    Thanks Gizmo, yea the more I fly, the more I am seeing that it's not a big problem, just something that will happen sometimes under the right conditions.

    Jello on P2V+

    I just posted a thread about this. It's my video you referenced in the OP, again given below (see 2:17): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlW5_H-SCig ... And here's a flight I did the next day. The wind actually much heavier and more sustained this day, but I was not flying full throttle as...

    Newbie Review 1st Flight

    Take 'er easy, and you'll be at 2000ft distance in no time. First, learn line of sight flying. Then, you'll start FPV flying, where you stare only at your screen, with the Phantom sometimes way out of sight. Just go slow. It's almost a good thing that these are expensive, it encourages people to...

    Noobies 1st and 2nd Flights w/P2V+

    It has no better night vision than the P2V, at least with default camera settings. I haven't tried tweaks.

    Let's see some videos!

    Reliable, Dependable, Consistent FPV Range of P2V+

    Yes, video feed/FPV range is awesome. Very consistent and stable. Of course, *part* of that is because it defaults to 320@30. If you set the P2V to 320@30, it's not much different.

    Vision+ camera/gimbal shake on fast climb

    It happens. The dampeners are less rigid (and smaller) than those on the P2V. This causes the gimbal to easily vibrate when you're going full throttle. It can cause jello. The lesson I've learned is not to film at full throttle without expecting such.

    Protecting camera lens of P2V+

    On the P2V, I installed the lens filter kit just so I could protect the lens from scratches. I don't like scratches. Pretty **** about them really ;p. Since there is no lens filter kit for the P2V+, at least at this time (and maybe ever), what options do I have that don't degrade picture...
