    iOSD on Phantom V1.1.1

    Will the on screen display show remaining voltage as a percentage if I am using the iOSD Mini on a Phantom V1.1.1 with the upgrade board and sarawuths canbus mod? The only videos that I have seen that show the remaining battery voltage as a percentage have been on the Phantom 2. Thanks!

    Y Connector

    All good to know. Thanks! I agree that finding satellites is much quicker on the second round. This leads me to another question. Do I have to calibrate the compass (DJI dance) before the second flight? I thought you were supposed to every time you power up the phantom.

    Y Connector

    My friend had this idea. Install the Y Connector but still only use 1 battery at a time. When that battery gets low you land it and connect the fresh battery before disconnecting the used battery. This way you avoid having to do the DJI dance all over again. Would this work?

    Talk to me about battery care

    Thanks for the link! I have been reading a lot lately. I still have a question regarding setting the First Level Protection setting in the Naza Assistant. How do I determine the voltage to put as the No Load First Level Protection trigger? I understand you never want to take out more than 80%...

    Talk to me about battery care

    I always read about people adjusting low voltage alarms, checking individual cell voltage immediately after flights, etc. Can someone give me a rundown of proper battery care or point me in the direction of a good tutorial? My main questions are: What is the interaction between the Assistant...

    My mind is numb

    Thanks for the reply! I am really looking for increased flight time for my peace of mind and it would allow for a more relaxed flying experience and allow me to focus on my flying/shots instead of watching the clock. I think this is the most I will ever carry. I do not anticipate myself...

    My mind is numb

    You got 16 minutes on dual mad dogs and vision props? Would that be about 12 minutes with the Zenmuse? I definitely need to become a more skilled pilot so that i am comfortable in atti mode. Thanks for the info!
