    Texas State Parks going way of National Parks

    When I grew up there, Texas was a "free State". This is a **** shame. I expect this kind of crap in CA, but not in TX :( "Drones" aren't 'allowed' because they say so, but there's nothing on the books about it, and they're waiting for the Feds to tell them what to do?? And you're not even in...

    Can't seem to connect P2 to software assistant

    Thank you for your assistance. That goes for OI as well, and everyone else. After...what time is it?...2.5 more hours of messing around inside the controller, many updates, software crashes (Mac), etc. It's somewhat working. Can only get the camera to pitch 45° down on a maxed out setting but...

    Do u think it's ok to use a car DC to AC to charge battery?

    Re: Do u think it's ok to use a car DC to AC to charge batte I just used this same inverter last weekend while I was camping and it performed flawlessly. Great little - and I mean little - inverter for the price.

    Can't seem to connect P2 to software assistant

    That's what I was afraid of. Well, I'll mess with it some more and see what happens. I'm still within the return window for the P2 itself. Still not 100% sure it's the P2 or the gimbal but it's looking more and more like the P2.

    Can't seem to connect P2 to software assistant

    I tried fooling around with this last night. I pried up on the pot a little but wimped out in fear of breaking something. I'm going to try messing with it again tonight. What happens if you manually rotate the pot with the cover off and nothing happens? That would rule out lever contact as the...

    H3-3D DEAD AFTER INSTALLING FIRMWARE UPDATE

    Mine died too. I was having trouble getting x1 to work and still am. X1 is completely unresponsive. Anyway, updated everything and my H3-3D just died. I managed to get it going following the instructions in the link OI posted above. So, I guess I'm just back where I started. No x1 at all. I've...

    Just can’t get it to work - software and gimbal problems...

    I’m on a new (late 2013) MacBook Pro running 10.9.4. I have RC Assistant, and both versions of P2 Assistant. I’ve had my P2 for a couple of weeks and have flown a few times and it worked great. My H3-3D arrived yesterday. Originally, it was doing it’s startup dance, but I couldn’t control...

    DJI Phantom 2 battery now for $129!

    That's certainly good news. I'm a newbie who was just looking in to ordering some extra batteries. Glad I waited :D

    Best website(s) to buy Phantom 2

    Agreed - that's where I bought mine. With Amazon Prime, I ordered on Wednesday and it was here Friday afternoon. Easy to return if it arrived damaged, etc.

    Box dimensions

    The factory Phantom 2 (non-vision) box measures about 14-3/4" x 13" x 8-1/4". Hope that helps.

    Harassed by the Fuzz!

    Just to be clear, are you saying you agree with these things and that we should also be subjected to this in the US?

    Charging off a generator while camping?

    Thanks again for the help. Just "amazon'd" Pure sine wave inverters. Wow they are pricey! :shock: Using the search feature right now to do some research on pure VS. modified, etc.

    Charging off a generator while camping?

    I appreciate the thoughts and advice. Now that I think about it, I might not always take my generator with me, or want to hear it run just to charge small batteries. Not to mention the way gas prices may go in the near future. So, I'm considering a new inverter for my truck. My inverter is very...
