    Phantom 2 v + camera feed on app is blank please help

    In my case, I did it just after recharging the wifi booster..... next morning everything had worked fine.... Booster overheated. This btw is a know problem and DJI wanted me to send the booster back (in the first email I got from them) in response to my opening a call ticket....

    Phantom 2 v + camera feed on app is blank please help

    Interesting, so the next morning I tried again, and everything worked... Never had the problem before, and after thinking about it, I had just freshly charged my WiFi extender (so it was warm)..... here is another point, made a post on DJI's FB page and got this back: "DJI Global Hi...

    Phantom 2 v + camera feed on app is blank please help

    I think I did, unless there is a special way to do it. I used the DJI Phantom Vision 2 Assistant software and updated everything they allowed for.

    REPLACEMENT FOR PHANTOM 2 PLUS GIMBAL AND CAMERA

    OK, first you are not my friend (sorry if this hurts your feelings but I don''t know you), second I did not "rant" I took the time to explain in detail how I felt about the Customer Service at DJI. finally do you work for DJI? I'm confused from your post, at one point you say "the closest you've...

    REPLACEMENT FOR PHANTOM 2 PLUS GIMBAL AND CAMERA

    Hey Wedeliver, It sounds like you are a rep from DJI, so I will try to explain my post. I cannot wait 4 - 8 weeks to get my UAS back, and I found US sellers who have the part. It is not a $500 - $600 fix, since the cost of the part alone is $679 - $750 (this is particularly outrageous since...

    REPLACEMENT FOR PHANTOM 2 PLUS GIMBAL AND CAMERA

    Hey Wedeliver, Thanks but no thanks. I've tried DJI "Support" and find they are worse then useless, a giant wast of time. They might as well say no warranty and not give customers false hope. As for the camera / gimbal, it looks as if I have to pay for a replacement, and can fit it on myself...

    REPLACEMENT FOR PHANTOM 2 PLUS GIMBAL AND CAMERA

    Really?, No disrespect but please show proof that it does. Otherwise you're pushing hearsay that has no evidence which is just BS. I've looked, and seen nothing that attributes prop guards to VRS.

    REPLACEMENT FOR PHANTOM 2 PLUS GIMBAL AND CAMERA

    Well I learned something today, it's called the VORTEX RING STATE, and propguards have no effect.... With that said, anyone have a good replacement idea for the stock camera and gimbal.

    What improvements would you like on the next Vision?

    Unfortunately the Chinese think they are it, and we made them that way. I used to do business with them, and now I'm back to the states a little more in cost, but 1000% better in execution. with that said, yea how about a FAIR cost of replacement, and camera that is 75% of the original cost is...

    REPLACEMENT FOR PHANTOM 2 PLUS GIMBAL AND CAMERA

    Thanks Dirty Bird, as far as I understand, with a FPV setup using GoPro (as if I were starting from scratch with a plain Phantom 2) I could then use FPV goggles, and share the video feed which I can't do with a vision 2 plus. what features wouldn't I have if I went that route? Main main...

    REPLACEMENT FOR PHANTOM 2 PLUS GIMBAL AND CAMERA

    I have the most current firmware, and I don't believe the problem is due to prop guards, as I have seen the same problem mentioned with and without guards.. I know a GoPro "setup w FPV" is expensive, however the components can be replaced individually, So if it's just the gimbal it won't have...

    REPLACEMENT FOR PHANTOM 2 PLUS GIMBAL AND CAMERA

    The back story is at the end of a non-eventful flight the low battery warning went off, so I started a descent from about 300' at about 70' the copter started wobbling uncontrollably, and would not respond to any input. continued in a gyrating descent / fall and crashed.... HARD. (I put this in...
