    Placing new roll motor in current arm (remove existing motor)

    Ahhh much appreciated! Thanks for the scoring tip to remove motor. Inherited a p3p with busted roll motor and ribbon cable.

    Placing new roll motor in current arm (remove existing motor)

    There's some miscommunication here and it's my fault. How did you get the motor that makes camera pitch down and up off the arm that makes the camera swing on the horizontal axis. Yaw is the camera turning left and right relative to the drones nose. Pitch is the camera end tilting down and...

    Placing new roll motor in current arm (remove existing motor)

    How did you get the pitch motor off the roll arm? Is there a set screw near pitch pivot on the motor arm under the ribbon cable?

    Looking for new tablet, what's best for video streaming.

    It's the small image from fpv feed, stretched to fill screen. You will encounter that with any larger tablet as the preview size is limited to 640x480.

    The google play app store does not always show the app as compatible. Sideload it from the dji website. Phantom 2 Vision+ EDIT: I found the direct link. Open your web browser on tablet and go to this link. http://m.dji.net/djivision

    Sounds like a bad gimbal motor... Time to get it serviced.

    Dying the front a different colour would aid in orientation. Darker colours might help reduce the light bars when camera is forward facing.

    Vision+ camera and and possibility to edit bitrate?

    After having watched the clip posted I was impressed at the improvements in quality. Even with the moment of the vegatation, there were less artifacts and distortion. I just wanted to thank you for your endeavors and congratulate you on postive results. While not your original goal, this IS an...

    Finally took the plunge and took flight!

    Made a quick sunshade out of black project foam board from walmart. ;-) cheap and easy enough to replace should it get damaged, left behind. If I may offer a further suggestion; get in the habit of preflight checks. PF checks can prevent disasters. Glad to have another phantom pilot in the ranks!

    +1 to the suggestions against use of xoxo props without balancing. Ran my own rest to find they cased oscillations on phantom. Spun them off and put on my spare set of dji props to find oscillation was gone. Same craft, same field, back to back. Figured it was a good time to test them as my...

    Week 5 and no response from DJI Support

    Glad your craft is coming home. I felt mine a couple batteries a few days ago. Seemed to be oscillating but will try it again later this weekend after an advanced calibration.

    Week 5 and no response from DJI Support

    I don't think so. The starboard side of craft dropped hard seemed like it turned over and drove itself into the rear bumper of my vehicle. I was testing the galaxy tab s and noticed the craft wasn't responding to controls. a glance down at tablet to see the "control signal lost" message and she...

    Week 5 and no response from DJI Support

    If you got the last new p2v+v3 I'm gonna be pissed ;-) What pisses me off the most is the 8 week queue to tell me I'm getting a refurbished unit after sending in a 2 week old system... WTF?! Why not offer me an option to upgrade to a p3 with a small fee? I mean this system was brand new and...
