    Damaged Phantom 2 Vision+ v3

    Sorry to hear that :-( From personal experience of buying cases that have been recommended by others and having to return them, I'm reasonably confident that the P2V+ V3 must be taller than the previous versions.

    P3 v P2V+

    As someone who bought the P2V+ last month on special offer, I was keeping an eye on yesterday's announcement with some interest. Due to the low price of the P3, if I were to buy one now, I'd get a P3 rather than a P2, but I don't think I'm missing out on much: * Better GPS / hovering accuracy...

    What Backpack you recommend for PV2+ V3.0? Airport Carry on Friendly!

    Be aware that my Phantom 2V+ v3 didn't fit properly in this one. The only thing I can think of is that the V3 motors are perhaps half an inch (1.5cm) higher than the V2.

    Should I Buy A P2V+ V3.0?

    I recently upgraded from an FC40 to a Vision 2 Plus and I'm pleased to say that the P2V+ solves the 'annoyances' I experienced with the FC40 - short battery life, photo/video quality and short FPV range.

    Bag/Backpack for Phantom

    The internal height is approx 18cm, and the padding allows for some stretch on top. I bought one for my P2V+ V3 and it places just a bit more pressure on the motor shafts than I would like. I believe that the motors on the V3 are a bit taller, which may be the problem. I'm sure a stock P1...

    GoPro Hero 4 and FPV

    My set up is currently a FC40 with Tarot gimbal and I borrowed a Hero 3 (original, not plus) from a friend. I was originally hoping to pick up a cheap Hero 3+ when the new version came out, but they seemed to go out of stock pretty quickly. I've now had to give the camera back to my friend...

    4000 mAh from UK

    No rush, Pete. We've got a 6 week old baby, so I'm not getting chance to take the FC40 out at the moment anyway!

    Thanks, Pete. Very useful. Would also be interested to see how you get on once the levels are raised. Neil

    4000 mAh from UK

    Yes, please. I've got a Tarot and I'm currently getting 6 minutes from the standard 2200 mAh battery.

    Gimbal question

    Have you installed the Tarot software on your PC? There are two modes, one where the lever position on controller corresponds to the angle of the camera, and another where the lever position corresponds to the speed that the camera moves. The second mode is default, but you need to select the...

    Help please :) Installed tarot on fc40 with problem

    Blinking blue is normal, but solid green (according to the manual) represents over-current. Where are you taking power from?

    Yaw setting

    As far as I know, the settings in NAZA only affect the autopilot. They don't have any effect on the sensitivity of the controller, if that's what you meant.

    First video with Tarot gimbal

    First video with new Tarot T-2D gimbal, GoPro Hero 3 and FC40. The subject matter isn't hugely interesting - just some aerial views of the local houses and river in Caerleon, Wales. Created mainly for me to practice filming and editing. Thought I'd post it here in case anyone is interested in...
