Selling my DJI Phantom 2. haven't used it in over 5 years - since i accidentally flew it into the pool. I replaced the ESC boards and motors, and it powers up (see video) and props spin, but it doesn't take off - the one prop spins much slower than the other 3, so it just crashes Gopro doesn't...

Sounds like too much work. So i can just purchase the H3-2D i'm assuming right? And ignore the "GCU" that comes with it?

Hi I got my Phantom2 wet almost exactly a year ago - had to replace two ESCs and motors, but the phantom flies fine now. Haven't flown it in almost a year, but the gopro and h3-2d (that came with the phantom) are damaged. I've purchased a new (used) gopro, but need to purchase a new gimbal...

I'm selling my Phantom 2 with everything needed for FPV with the exception of the P2 gimbal and gopro camera. I had the gopro and gimbal on the unit but they both got damaged. I have 3 total batteries - two of them have been used, one has not. P2 flies just fine. I've flown it for about 5...

Looking for a zenmuse h3-2d. Mine got wet and doesn't work anymore. Don't need the mounts or cables - just the actual unit. Preferably used, if someone is/has upgraded to the h3-3d and wants to get rid of their 2d.

You were right - plugged in the GPS module, and did the power up, and the 3 motors started right up. Good stuff! Guess I just need the last ESC replaced and another gimbal (will post in classifieds) and I should be back in action!

Just an update on this. I replaced the ESC and motor that were making a clicking noise on startup. After I tried it again another motor started doing the same thing. I disconnected this motor and the Phantom did its regular startup lights and sounds. Yay! So I have another ESC and motor on the...

The 'click' is coming from just one of the motors. Next I will desolder that one motor and give it a try again. Going to be Monday a.m. before I am back in my office with access to my equipment before I can try that. In the meantime i'll overnight another ESC. Is it as simple as (desoldering...

I guess I could just desolder the ground on each ESC, one at a time, right? (instead of desoldering both leads). Would it (potentially) power up with all ESCs removed? How would you tell it's powered up at all with no lights or sounds (with all 4 ESCs disconnected)? Battery is not the...

Hi Haven't flown the phantom 2 in probably 3 or 4 months, so I took it out this afternoon, and within 1 minute I crash it in the pool. Fished it out immediately, so was only in the water for about 5 seconds, but upside down during that time. Took everything apart and thoroughly dried it, with...

Phantom 2 - with two dji batteries. Each battery has probably 20-22 full charges and flights on them. Usually flown to around 20% then recharged, but a few times batteries left to full discharge. Took the phantom to the beach but noticed a few things. First, the flight time of my phantom 2 is...

Look what just made the front page of CNN... http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/09/travel/un ... ?hpt=hp_t1 A drone apparently almost took out an airplane :/

Re: 10.4 KM flight, 5.2 KM each way. With video and flytrex I found it - the FatShark Patch Antenna. Bought one. I've heard good things about the Helical antennas too. Is it worth using them together on my controller? A helical on one side and a patch antenna on the other?

Re: 10.4 KM flight, 5.2 KM each way. With video and flytrex Would you mind pointing me in the right direction with this patch antenna? I did some looking up, but want to make sure I get the right thing

Re: 10.4 KM flight, 5.2 KM each way. With video and flytrex I'd like to know what you guys are doing to get this type of distance. I've flown my Phantom 400m away, and at that distance even with perfect line of sight, I'm getting (very) choppy video. The kind that's just barely able to be...
