Totally satisfied with my P2V+ purchase and experience thus far. Very easy to fly in both modes. Very adequate camera. The market in US and abroad have totally accepted the product. That is what convinced me to buy in the first place. If anyone finds it flimsy, maybe they should look at their...

Will HP Stream run Ground Station and can I still use my iPhone?

What type of PC tablet would you recommend for running GS and do you think I can still use my iPhone?

No, that was last summer. I went back last fall after the leaves came down but didn't find it. I got another different model but wasn't satisfied with it's performance, so I decided to buy my Phantom. Got that in late Sept and flew it happily until winter settled in. I then got a Syma to fly...

Ouch....sorry to hear that. The toggle switches on the top of the transmitter are very vulnerable, in my opinion. S1 and S2 I think they are called. I am forever switching them inadvertently with arm, and I know they can turn off the GPS mode and put you into ATTI, whatever the hell that is...

Congrats. Is that your first Phantom? I hear the H4 is fantastic. I am over in Irondequoit just north of Rochester.

I installed a GS app on my iPad but it won't load on my P2V+. I read online that it was designed for the earlier Phantoms. I haven't seen the PC version. I will look for it on YouTube . Thanks

IPhone. I have the iPad version but I can't get it to connect with the P2V. The app for the iPhone has one installed with it. Not as comprehensive as the iPad one, but autonomous flight is autonomous flight. Thanks for responding to the post.

Just completed my first autonomous flight. Short 2 waypoint route. Still it takes a leap of faith to watch your bird fly away without being on the sticks. No need to worry, as it completed it's route perfectly, as advertised.

Does any one have any experience with using GROUND STATION? I am just starting to figure it out.

I use a closed school yard in my neighborhood when it is not otherwise occupied. Very convenient, about 2 miles away. Kind of small though. Also Durand Eastman Park, and Braddock Bay Park. I just started in late September so I only have a few months experience. I got a Syma X5C to mess around...

Yes, sounds great. Where do you fly?

I just joined this group. I own a P2V and live just north of Rochester in Irondequoit. I have many questions regarding autonomous flight using the Ground Station.
