    Serial numbers

    That was something else I meant to add that mine was in fcc mode, which also made me believe they started to do some of the "easy" stuff prior to shipping it off. Mine came right from the factory in China.

    Serial numbers

    My red stickers were already on too direct from dji's website. I figured they just assembled it a little more than what they used to. I guess I didn't think much of it other than not having to put them on was nice. I understand how some people would want to put them on themselves or leave...

    You all have scared me about my P2V+ possibly flying away

    Re: You all have scared me about my P2V+ possibly flying awa Your point about the forums being a double edged sword is totally true. Ignorance is bliss as they say. It never crossed my mind when I had been looking at buying one of these over the last several years (obviously not the P2V+ since...

    P2V+ Battery fires?

    Re: P2V+ Battery fires I probably am overly paranoid. I ended up buying 2 bags, one for each of my batteries. I'll do the same. Charge in the garage in a bag in a ceramic plant pot. I even called a local hobby shop that I've bought stuff from in the past. He basically said the same as what...

    P2V+ Battery fires?

    Re: P2V+ Battery fires Yikes, alright then. I didn't think they were very different than normal rechargeable batteries. I'm glad you brought it up. *edit* Actually as I've been reading more about this, it seems like people need to just use a little extra caution with them. It looks like...

    P2V+ Battery fires?

    Re: P2V+ Battery fires I guess leaving it charge overnight is probably not a good idea. Makes me what to run home from and disconnect it from the charger. Are there suggested best practices to decrease the chances of it happening? Charge it outside? Keep it out of hot areas (I'm thinking in...

    Minnesota - Area Code 952 - 651 - 612 Meetups & Flyins

    I live just down the street from Bent Creek golf course right next to Edenvale park. I'll have to upload my first p2v+ video I took last night (first flight I totally was focused on flying and didn't really take any video, a few photos though), it'll look familiar if you've been to that park...

    CSC/Stopping/Starting motors.

    I tried it yesterday after switching to Naza, second flight ever for me and it was fun. A bit of panic where I think I sent it off into the houses and dropped the switch to go to failsafe mode and it came back thankfully. But after reading these threads I intentionally landed it and held the...

    Upgrade to 3.0.2...

    I was wondering the same thing. To some degree I purchased the p2v+ for the ease (easier) of use. Hopefully it's pretty straight forward when you do upgrades. I did upgrade the gimbal firmware but I don't believe there was any caveats to doing so.

    Minnesota - Area Code 952 - 651 - 612 Meetups & Flyins

    Born and raised here in Minnesota, currently living in Eden Prairie. I'll be honest I'm surprised how many people are from Minnesota. I'm not sure why I'm surprised. I know that a lot of people around here like gadgets, electronics, computers, tinkering, ...

    How many have had absolutely no problems

    1 Flight so far 100% success only problem I've had is cruddy weather. Otherwise I would be closer to 7+.

    Gimbal not quite level- Need advice

    I think you are right about the iPhone. 1.0.37 is the version I have also. The "about" screen doesn't give us the ability to update it. Guessing it has to go through Apple to become approved before we can download it.

    Upgrade the firmware or on P2V+ ?

    Direct from DJI ordered 4/9 arrived last Friday, it was at the latest firmware aside from the gimbal one which I ended upgrading. So you might end up getting the latest firmware anyway. I'm not sure if you can downgrade, I've not looked.

    Video Editing Software (Newbie)

    Maybe consider a subscription to Adobe Premiere Pro? I was looking at that to see how much of a learning curve it would be and try it for a few months. Make sure it's something you would like to eventually buy? I'm not sure if there's any drawbacks other than you don't own it at the end but I...

    Gimbal startup and position question

    Like I mentioned before I've had only 1 flight experience so far with my p2v+. I noticed it too, I guess I assumed it was because the grass was touching it. I actually saw others do this and considered doing it myself and that was to bring a box or something to take off from to prevent it...
