I Agree with you 100% here. I am actually the E-Bay seller that timmer was talking about in an earlier post. My company prints ID Badges for many different customers from small to large businesses and even Police, Fire, EMS Departments, and Town Entities. Before starting to print the FAA...

Without fully taking my drone apart and measuring the bearings exactly it looks like they are two different sizes, but I can't be sure. Your next step would probably be to look on e-bay and search for broken gimbals you can buy and just use the parts you need.

You may be able to make something, but any amount of drag caused by whatever you make will reduce the stability of the gimbal. Take a look at this link...

There's actually supposed to be a small baring there. Without the baring the camera unit will wobble on the shaft. I'm not 100% sure where you guy purchase a replacement baring that size though.

I actually had a similar issue, after a crash one of my props was way out of alignment with the others. It caused the bird to slowly rotate to the right. I tried compass cal, and IMU cal, and nothing worked. After talking a very close look i noticed that one arm was slightly bend upward from...

I agree, Fast cooling of hot electronics can cause condensation. Too much condensation will fry the electronics.. Be VERY careful when doing this and avoid it if at all possible.

Are you using the official DJI App? or some other third party app to plan your mission. A bit more details will be helpful.

It actually does this for every video, I always make sure to stop the recording before shutting down the phantom. Now I want to test something, Most times I actually use the button on the camera itself to start / stop the recording... Maybe that has something to do with it.

The Kp-index is the global geomagnetic storm index and is based on 3 hour measurements of the K-indices, for a given value, for each of the past days. The K-index itself is a three hour long quasi-logarithmic local index of the geomagnetic activity, relative to a calm day curve for the given...

I usually always land with less then 20% battery life left. At below 30% I usually bring it in close and fly it until around 20% Its EXTREAMLY rare I have ever landed with 30% or more of battery power left.

This is my second Phantom 2 Vision Plus using the same memory card. The first Phantom had correct dates with no problems, this new phantom always shows the date to be in 2007. I normally take the card out of the drone, and place it in my memory card reader. If it worked fine on the first...

If you look at the Black and Red wire with the Red connector at the end. This needs to be plugged in into a power source. You can either steal power from the main board in the phantom or splice the power wire coming from the battery.

I've tried all of the above. I always fly with GPS mode, and have connected it to my PC many times (yes the pc has the correct timestamp) but for some reason all the videos have a timestamp with the year 2007

Hello, I have a Phantom Vision Plus V3 and I noticed when i view the file details of the videos on the memory card the Date is wrong. Its showing a date back in 2007. Is there a way to adjust the date stored in the Phantom?

Yes, it may be cheaper then a car adapter, but it actually is a lot less efficient. Meaning it will drain more power from your car battery to run the inverter to charge your batteries, then it will using a car charger directly connected. Just food for thought.
