    How deep do they think our pockets are?

    Let's face it, we've all only had our PV2 units for a relatively short time (bugs and all) and the PV2 as with any first generation has its draw backs on design, but I'm going to resist the carrot on a stick and enjoy what I forked out 1300 hard earned for. As a big boys toy it will do me for...

    Battery Gauge Stuck at 71%

    Haven't had that issue but I think step 1 would to be fly it again on a full recharge and see it the same occurs again keeping in mind your time in the air to offset any unforeseen problem. Pending the problem remaining try a delete and reinstall of the vision app and do a re fly. If all else...

    Nubee need help

    Maybe I can answer some of your questions, Phantom 2 is preconfigured to take a 2 axis gimbal which is the cradle configuration that holds the camera and stabilizes the vibration of the quad to smooth out the visuals. I actually have the Phantom Vision 2 ( 1 axis gimbal ) with the camera as...

I've seared this plastic pivot off the gimble check to see if it's exceptionally loose on the righthand side...

    Phantom 2 Vision carry case for $65.

    Well I'll be the test case and admit defeat....if all fails....would have preferred pick and pluck on all 3 layers....there was a lot of marking trimming and trial...we'll see...considering $330 dollar alternative with something that goes up and comes down hard at times, there is a limit on what...
