    Controller died during update

    PV2,... I don't use it all that much (time restraints), so I brought it into work today to update the software on everything, as I plan on having some extra time around xmas to goof around with it. I updated my assistant software first, then my Phantom, the phantom battery, and then took...

    video warp

    Sorry if this is a repeat... I'm relatively new at the whole copter... Question... how do I get rid of the warp (the "fish eye") from the Phantom Vision? Is this a setting, or do I do that in editing? I use Premiere Pro for all of my video editing. Thanks!!! Cheers! -Jason

    Just bought a P2V... any advice?

    Had the maiden voyage yesterday. Didn't get too crazy with it, but **** was that fun.... I can see where this becomes addictive! They say on the website about NOT using it in parking lots, etc, but then I see lots of people flying them in cities and such. Is it just for calibration that...

    Just bought a P2V... any advice?

    I was only really going to fly in GPS mode, and I have NO PLANS on going too far out at the moment until I'm pretty comfy with it. I DONT know what HL of CL mode is, but hopefully will tomorrow! As far as IOC mode, not sure on that, too. LOL.. hey, I'm a newbie! Thank you ALL for your...

    Just bought a P2V... any advice?

    Manual reading is tomorrow... have watched a TON of video so far.. Luckily, the weather is pretty crappy, so I'm not so inclined to RUN home and start it up. :)

    My First flight.PV2, the time has come!

    It's here! Got all the batteries charged, and all of the firmware updated,... I think. When I plug it into the computer, what it says the controller's and the phantom's firmware is, what it is...correct? I updated camera, phantom, and I "think" the controller, too... Now for the weather...

    Re: My First flight..PV2,the time has come! Haven't gotten it yet! It should be here tomorrow. It's snowing like mad here, so it may be a few days, which will actually be good so i can go through EVERY little possible nuance, learn the lights, etc. I'm DYING to get it though... The wife...

    Just bought a P2V... any advice?

    I know one thing I wanted to ask... I saw how to calibrate the GPS and to make sure that it's a green light, etc (from the youtube video), I see a lot of people saying "make sure you have 6 satellites or more" to fly, etc... HOW OFTEN do I calibrate it? Say I'm flying at my house, and then...

    Just bought a P2V... any advice?

    New to ALL of this, but am a filmmaker, and love the idea of having the opportunity to have elevated shots without having to carry around a jib (plus, let's face it, it looks fun as hell to fly this thing). Curious as to any advice for a first timer? Do's/Don'ts/Warnings... Are there any...
