I've since discovered that the lag is so bad it makes it unworkable (30 odd second) it seems that the DJI GO app is a real resource hog and does not like to compete with any other overheads. Still looking for a workable option to mirror screens.

Just arrived, the Epson Moverio BT-300 goggles. Spent most of the afternoon setting up all the parameters so have not had the chance to fly with the P4. I've worked out a way to use the Litchi app which is not natively supported on the device as yet. To do this I've installed Miracast on my...

I have sometimes experienced problems with calibrating the gimbal, especially after a firmware update. If the X1 tilt lever is making good contact with the potentiometer on the transmitter circuit board (you should feel some resistance when turning the lever through its full arc) then its likely...

Did my first flight with the upgraded Firmware 3.06. I did have one issue but will explain. After the firmware update it is critical to perform a full calibration in both the Phantom Assistant V3.2 and RC Assistant software. It took two attempts before I was happy that the calibration was...

If anyone has access to a 3D printer I have designed and uploaded files to GrabCAD for both of the gimbal brackets on the Phantom 2. Wasn't going to pay $80 odd bucks for originals and these work fine. Very strong with some flexibility. https://grabcad.com/library/dji-phantom ... user-email

If you have access to a 3D printer I have uploaded files on GrabCAD to print H3-2D Mounting Brackets. These are strong and won't break easily. Have used them on my P2 and had no issues. https://grabcad.com/library/dji-phantom ... user-email

Email me your email address and I can send the files to you. I had all sorts of issues with the magnetic compass while in NZ also which I can relay to you. My email is mikebrow@tpg dot com dot au

Hi I'm in New Zealand on holiday with my Phantom 2 and away from all my 3D files. Won't be back until May 22 which is probably a bit late for your camping trip. On my return to Australia I will send you the stl. file so you can print the gimbal brackets. Buying these things are about $80.00 a...

I had the same orange light instead of the red light on my controller. It seems to indicate that the controller transmitter is not fully calibrated. I updated the gimbal firmware recently then performed a calibration just for the gimbal and not the sticks. When I powered up again the TX lamp was...

Did my first flight with the new 3D printed brackets and the video is smooth as silk. I engineered my brackets to be quite rigid but to also have a little flexibility in the event of a hard landing. PLA plastic is very strong but a little brittle so with a heavy drop from a good height I'm sure...

I have had a couple of crashes in my Phantom 2. The first bent the gimbal damping bracket, the second broke it entirely. Looking on line, replacement parts are about USD$75.00 a set and the idea of spending that sort of money every time I crash my Phantom got me a bit concerned. It seems the...

Also check if the gimbal lever is actually making contact with the circuit board mounted potentiometer (pot). On mine the tilt lever moved back and forth too easily and found the lever had no contact with the pot. To fix I removed the transmitter back panel, loosened the 4 screws holding down...

For the many who are experiencing with tilt adjustment of the Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal, I have found the cause of the problem and how to correct it. This workaround is for the Phantom 2 bundled with the H3-2D gimbal "The Spirit of Flight" model. After spending hours ensuring I had all the correct...

Just purchased the Phantom 2 bundle with the Zenmuse Gimble. Certainly not plug and play out of the box as advertised. Same issues as everyone seems to be having with the X1 channel calibration. All firmware has been updated and gimble turned on ok but it will not register for calibration. When...
