    Prop Balancing !

    My balancing rod arrived about a week or so ago. Thanks! Four props of six are well balanced, two were slightly off, but I do not see specific recommendations for removing material for balancing them without a significant chance of making dynamic balance issues worse. Beyond static balance...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    This connector is female, you need male, I believe, even though others said it is correct for this application.

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    Express interest by browsing, getting on an interest list, or even a pre-order list. But, actually accepting payment creates a contract, I suspect. So, accepting payment turns the pre-order into an order, which trumps browsing and interest, IMO. But how you fill orders is probably up to you...

    Any information or experiments yet to determine how much the tilt motor interferes with the WiFi out the port side of the camera?

    Re: DJI China misappropriated DJI North America's biz in tot For those, like myself, that bought a Phantom 2 Vision from a dealer on the list, will we continue to get support and warranty services? Anybody with insight or experience on that issue yet?

    DJI China misappropriated DJI North America's biz in total

    Re: DJI China misappropriated DJI North America's biz in tot Empire Hobby has many associated dealers, and seems unaffected by this injunction, and it appears that they carry many DJI products and parts: http://www.empirerc.com/ So, it would appear that the DJI products will continue to be...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    If you are waiting for new stock to arrive at a dealer from DJI, it might be better to look to other dealers, since new stock arrivals are probably being blocked by the recent injunction against DJI.

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    Designed slightly differently, the port potor could be moved up about an inch or so, to better allow for the camera's internal WiFi antenna to function as intended. However, I do not see an immediate easy nice solution. Tests needed, it seems.

    Also, the port side WiFi antenna might induce RF currents into the motor's dfive circuitry and control board, possibly causing the circuitry there to malfunction? An RF choke (ferrite bead, ring, or cylinder) might be needed on the wires to the motor? I do not know, just thinking of the...

    The motor in the port side is likely to block a lot of the transmission from the port-side antenna in the camera. So, for any over very modest WiFi range, it might be necessary to keep the starboard side facing the WiFi repeater? I expect that some hover and spin tests at increasing...

    Returning home fail safe shutdown

    If resetting the Home position also reset the RTH minimum altitude, one could set the required altitude in the field, "on the fly" as appropriate for the circumstances.

    New FC 200 Camera 1.1.99 No yet

    Re: New FC 200 Camera 1.1.99 Can anyone do a file compare to see if this 1.1.9 is the same as the older 1.1.9, please? If it is the same, nothing has changed. If different, it is really poor form to have posted two different 1.1.9 versions. Is the file date the same?

    new Colin Guinn video on YouTube fascinating

    Is it just shipments to the existing dealer network that are blocked? Is there anything prohibiting direct DJI to customer sales, or shipments to hobby type stores that are not already dealers?

    Also, with the camera's front surface and circular lens ring completely accessible, my 52 mm stick-on filter adapter will now work as intended. Thanks.

    Purchased Spare P2V Controller

    Part number is the same, version 1.4 is the same. Only difference that I see is the "1" in the PT636149nnn instead of PT636049nnn on mine. Is this the serial number? So, perhaps a 6361 instead of a 6360 for the ones with the built in micro-USB port?
