    Convert p2v to 2.4ghz controller and 5.8 fpv.

    Hi all, I've got a few questions regarding my current setup. I have a stock P2v with a non functioning fc200 camera. I also have a spektrum dx6i transmitter and receiver. Now that the camera has broken I would like to add a new receiver, 5.8 ghz fpv setup with osd, gopro and gimball. I...

    FPV Range Disconnect

    I have been experiencing this issue, along with the app crashing whenever I move the camera angle, up or down. Unfortunately,DJI hastily released their update for iOS without even bothering to test it on a p2v and now everyone with an iOS device is experiencing the same issues. The update does...

    Increasing Flying Range

    Your mileage may vary depending on where you fly it. I ordered the pigtail adapter for$5 and got a 5db omni directional antenna at frys. This mod is $20 and it more than doubled the range I get when flying around other wifi networks. When I get out away from interference I've been out to 3600 ft.

    roof antenna for fpv?

    I just completed a $20 mod to my p2v which tripled my fpv range. This is amazing and the mod basically adds an antenna port to your wifi range extender. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aEHzDi4hHKU

    What is the best bang-for-buck range extension?

    That is true. I saw on Craigslist the other day a v3 controller, 4 propellers, 700 range extender, 2 batteries and hard case for $250. People all across America will be selling these as losing their birds is a common occurrence.

    Because we've been talking about trolls

    Hey Monte, sorry if you missed the sarcasm. I was totally making fun of some of the trolls I have encountered. I'm a total noob at flying phantoms myself. Just wanted to vent because some people are on here simply to bash others ideas and opinions.

    Cheating death...

    Sorry mate, I've already flown all of thos places. Fields and cow pastures bore me. If I needed to ask you where a good spot to fly my p2v I would've done so already. Please don't attack somebody for posting their flight pictures. If you don't like mine then move on to the next. Cheers.

    What is the best bang-for-buck range extension?

    It is worth noting that by modding the range extender you will be voiding the warrantee for everything else.

    Because we've been talking about trolls

    I just thought I'd pop I'm and troll the trolling thread. God I hate trolls! Everyone is soo stupid because we have lives outside of phantom town. I'm tired of n00bs wasting my time with stupid questions. Read the freaking manual! :D

    Possible drone left on the White House lawn

    Unfortunately, the government relies on the fear mothering media for it's publicity, and now the conversation has moved onto the terrorist threats posed by these devices. If they ban drones, surely they also must ban pressure cookers, box cutters and the Internet because these too are tools...

    Cheating death...

    I dunno? Because you are a whiny troll who has nothing positive to bring to the forum? Cheer up big guy. Keep practicing on your hubsan and perhaps one day mommy will let you fly with the big boys.

    Possible drone left on the White House lawn

    Just watch, soon the insurance lobby will be behind federal mandates for drone insurance and safety training.

    Possible drone left on the White House lawn

    But, if you look at the big picture, why do we need any additional federal laws for flying below 400'? I agree that using rc aircraft to harass or spy on someone should not be allowed, but the same perspective could be had by climbing a ladder or using a zoom lens from a real aircraft. I...

    What is the best bang-for-buck range extension?

    I'm in the same boat. I'd like a cheap and easy way to double the fpv range... For now. I dropped $9.00 for the app, and it only gave me about 50-100ft addl range, plus, in order for it to work you must first load the app and connect to the phantom, add that to the pre flight checklist. From...

    Possible drone left on the White House lawn

    It is too bad the president, along with chuck schumer (the tumor) don't have rth functions. Had this guy not been a government employee his face would be plastered all over the news as a possible domestic terrorist. Funny how big government protects its own, and it's all too convenient that...
