Either I messed something up, or Eric was wrong and you can't have BOTH v2.0 and v2.1 ESC's operating at the same time...

Thanks! I called up, didn't wait long at all, and a guy named Eric answered my question immediately. If anyone sees this and is wondering, ESC v2.1 is compatible with 2212 motors, and you can replace one of your blown v2.0 ESC's with a v2.1 and your quad should still function. I'll report back...

Hey guys! I've looked around a lot and can't find too much on this... I've found that newer P2's, P2V's, and P2V+'s have the v2.1 ESC to go with the 2312 motors. But I have an older P2 with 2212 motors, and one blown ESC. Will the v2.1 ESC's work, when my other three are v2.0? I'd really...

BACKGROUND INFO: this is my Uncle's quad, that he crashed into a lake. I believe he retrieved after roughly 15 minutes, and let it dry for a couple weeks before trying anything. I've checked the battery connectors and they all look fine, the batteries are good (work in my P2), but when I go to...

After I start the motors, the LED on the motor that doesn't spin is the only one that won't light

My P2 crashed awhile back, and I'm assuming that one or more ESC has gone bad. Possibly a motor too - or at least damaged from dirt and debris. The front 2 led's are completely out, they never light up. The front black motor refuses to spin at all. I can't see any melting or physical issues...

I live in Golden, Colorado. About screws... I only have two holding each motor in, the other two are with the prop guards I took off forever ago haha I should fix that. I was flying near Idaho Springs... really neat area, not far from my house. There's a cave probably 750ft above our campsite I...

Hey, this site is way different than last time I was here. Didn't fly much over the winter, and I didn't come here much over the summer before that. Anyway... My Uncle gave me his Phantom Vision 2+ that he crashed into a lake, but I haven't really looked into what it wrong with it yet. Are there...

I've been practicing a lot to be able to get close up follow shots (mainly of downhill skaters) in the 25-35mph range. Check it out, I haven't seen many phantom videos like these 30 second follow (no FPV) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p0HKJBEQfw 5 minutes of skating filmed from the air...

Late response... Rad that you skate still! It's so much fun, I hope I never stop. I'm on 1.08. When I first started upgrading I had issues and just reverted.

No FPV, but a 2D gimbal http://youtu.be/gjvvkajGqVE

Haha thanks! I've been practicing this kind of shot a lot. Still not where I'd like to be overall but being able to follow, film, and descend down these hills while flying at top speed is a solid start! Thanks for the feedback! If this were for another company, or a different industry I'd be...

I think I have the same thing but branded differently. I can't get mine to turn on at all, thinking about sending it back. Any tips? It seems pretty straightforward...

Hey guys. I founded a company that manufactures skateboards and snowboards (still real small!) and I have been using my Phantom 2 to help film for our introductory video. It's not all shot from the quad, but I think everyone here will appreciate how well the aerial shots add to the overall...

I live at 5500' and suddenly started having VRS drops... stock DJI blades with carbon blade guards. I'm hoping that ditching the guards will make it less susceptible... It's pretty unfortunate it handles descents so poorly. More frustrating is that sometimes it does just fine. Sometimes it will...
