    Retrofitting a new central circuitboard after crash

    I crashed. The compass connector on the main circuit board was ripped off, but besides that the thing is flyable. However, I have determined that I'll probably need a new main circuit board. Something like this: http://www.helipal.com/phantom2-10-dji- ... oC2iLw_wcB Does anyone have...

    Pros & Cons of PV2 w/ GoPro versus PV2+

    Great! Will the combo that OI Photography posted (http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index. ... ts_id=2066) require soldering if I don't purchase the special cable? Also, I think I'll just order that combo, the go pro, and the iOSD. Does that sound right for the gear I'll need?

    Pros & Cons of PV2 w/ GoPro versus PV2+

    I am going to purchase either a PV2 or PV2+. I am considering the differences between the two. I am leaning towards buying a normal PV2 and then getting the H3-3d gimbal and a GoPro to go along with it. I want to do this because it would be nice to have the GoPro for other projects. A few...
