    NO LIVE VIDEO

    Have the same issue with PV2+. This bird is less than one year old, and has, maybe, 2 hours flight time. No extended flights, a couple of tougher landings but no damage, put it in the box after last successful video viewing, took it from the box, started up, and no video feed to the phone. Tried...

    Prop tip - determine motor damage

    Thanks general01. And flynfrank, I've seen lots of your posts. Thanks. The esc is the power supply to the motor, yes, and it's this that appears to overheat on some quads? Since this is motor damage related, I'm asking the question on this thread. Thanks, Flybill2

    Prop tip - determine motor damage

    Hi folks... I'm a noob, yet I have still read dozens and dozens of posts and not found the info I seek, nor has the search function helped. I have landed my P2V+V3.0 many times problem free, yet have also landed it where uneven terrain has tipped the quad over. Even though I've powered down...

    Smart phone and P2 Vision Plus

    Thank you all. My P2 V3.0 arrived yesterday, flew it today following all your guidance about connecting up the smart phone to the Phantom. Marvellous. Oh, and do pay attention to the warnings when the battery is running low. Otherwise, the "brains" take over and fly it home... which is fine...

    Smart phone and P2 Vision Plus

    Still struggling with this. If I have a tablet with WIFI connection, can I use the FPV on it instead of a smartphone, since I don't want to pay the huge roaming charges my provider inflicts on us when we try to use our phone in the Southern U.S. And if a tablet works, what happens if I am in...

    Smart phone and P2 Vision Plus

    I'll be ordering a Phantom 2 Vision Plus to be delivered to my address in the southern U.S. from Canada. My cell carrier doesn't work there. Since the FPV for the Phantom is wireless, if I have the app download to my phone before I travel and the cell phone won't connect to a service in the...
