Just called last week and waited an hr to get through. Annoying, but i just put my speaker phone on and worked on my computer. The guy I talked to was helpful, easy to understand, etc. My guess is that things are getting busy for them and they are struggling to keep up right now. Hopefully they...

Thanks EMCSQUAR. After waiting an hour, I got through to the customer support LA office and yes, they can repair it. Though they can't tell me the repair price until they get the gimbal :-(. Meanwhile, I found a guy in Toronto that repairs gimbals and may have the ribbon I need. I'm now...

Dang it. The plot thickens. Upon further inspection, I see what looks like a problem with the 'gold foil' circuitry that enters the black box of the gimbal. Is this a replaceable part??? See pic. Does anyone do gimbal repair??

Okay. Check on new mounting bracket. Hard to find part? Seems like I read other posts talking about h3-2d parts being hard to find. and on the assistant software...is that 'in' the P2 software I already downloaded? Nooob question :-) actually I can probably answer that one on my own. I'll...

And I swore it would never happen to me. Oh, the arrogance. Flew it into some branches at night. question 1: as you can see from the pic the black piece that fits under the rubber dampeners is tweaked. Is taking that apart and re-leveling it with some pliers a no-no? 2nd question: the...

As soon as I hit send I realized that taking it out of gps was probably the ticket. Bingo! Yes it may seem silly to use it this way but if I get some results that are even close to a steadycam or a dolly shot this will be a HUGE win. I'll wear leather armor :-) Thanks for the detailed info...

Very new to this-are there obvious add-ons i should be considering? I just want to get a camera on my P2 and start filming. I'll be getting a FPV setup eventually, but that's down the road a bit. I'm just really anxious to see what this thing can do! Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I'm just getting to know my P2. I've experimented a bit with moving it by hand and of course it resists. Is there a way to disable this? I'm wanting to film a continuous shot in one door of a house and out the other, and though this could be flown for sure, i'm just not confident...

Re: brand new P2 bits for sale- gimbal bushings & prop guard How much for the prop guard kit?

Thanks all! I may re-post the battery question in the phantom II specific forum.

Hey all, I'm a total newbie and I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on my first quad. I'm impressed with how much info I've been able to get from this forum. After a lot of research, I've decided that since I'm really interested in high quality video, I'm going to get the Phantom 2...
