There is a java program written by winsta here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1712646&page=2 I have used it successfully many times with my P2V+ and 900Mhz datalink.

Another option for drone insurance in the US http://highlandinsagcy.com/ Appears fairly pricey but may be more comprehensive than homeowners or AMA

I lost mine in a lake. It rested in 45 feet of water for 3 days. I called a professional diver to recover mine as it was too deep for me to get. The only thing I had to replace was the ESC's. Everything else survived and still flies today. As others said here, don't try to power it up...

Did you have it set to auto RTH on low battery? If not it would try to complete its mission even in absence of control signal. If it losses GPS it will hover until it regains GPS signal or until its battery gets low at which point it will try to land. If you do not have auto RTH on low...

I flew mine across a frozen lake yesterday at 22F. No problems at all. I would caution however that below 32F if there is any moisture in the air be very careful. I was out one day in some light snow flying around my neighborhood and came back home and noticed an odd whistling sound from my...

Sorry to hear of your loss frank, DBS also. I hope you find the culprit. You might try this to recovery your video file. http://live555.com/drones/DJI-Phantom-2-Vision+-video-fix/ I have used this and it works.

My bird had a battery failure and autolanded in a lake where it sat in 45 feet of water for four days before I could recover it. A week later it was fully functional and is still operating well. The only thing I needed to replace was the battery which failed before it hit the water and the...

What did your original log file look like? What was its size? Was it in the folder directly above this one?

It didn't happen automagically for me. I had to go to the upgrade page and there it showed up as "New" and I could click it and then its asks you to turn off your camera, I saw no way to easily turn off the camera, I assume this is for P2V owners not plus owners, I just clicked "Yes" then the...

I read all these messages where folks are having issues with battery firmware updates when installing the 3.4 software package with its new firmwares but I see no mention of a battery firmware versions in the DJI release notes and my batteries didn't seem to get an update. What's going on...

Re: 500 meter limit.. how can we fly farther? I see others d They either use only FPV or they use a modified version of the DJI Vision App which only runs on Android devices http://www.phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=25244 Or they buy additional GS Datalink hardware. If you go this...

Re: 6600mAh Stealth Battery Mod ... (25 minute flight times) I have worked with a number of gas gauge chips and many detect when batteries are disconnected and they are generally designed to determine which battery they are working with by measuring the batteries impedance. Often 2 batteries...

Re: 6600mAh Stealth Battery Mod ... (25 minute flight times) DBS: Gotta say I used to be impressed with the things you came up with on the AR drone back in the day :) The things you've found and come up with on this bird, even more impressive. Nice work! Thanks for the details!

I forget why there is an error (I also see this but disregard). I do have the source if you'd like to look at it PM me. It will continue the mission when outside the range of any transmitter. If it losses GPS it will hover until either GPS returns or battery runs out. If battery runs out it...
