    ??? Camera timed picture settings

    Thanks. I'll check that page out. I did read the manual cover to cover, but sadly some of the info didn't stick between the ears ;)) A real shame it can't grab stills whilst shooting vids! I'm sure everyone would use that. Suppose the camera image processor is simply flat out when shooting vids...

    ??? Camera timed picture settings

    That's great, I didn't know it could even do that at all. Where is the setting up menu for that feature? Can it take auto timed stills whilst simultaneously shooting video too? It irks me that each time I want to grab a still, I have to stop the video capture then restart it resulting in...

    Do you forget to remove the camera lock?

    Too much hassle to even fit the gimbal lock IMO. Also, if not extremely careful when fitting or removing it, could maybe even cause damage to the gimbal perhaps? I just added a suitably cut piece of very soft sponge to my flight case such that it gently rests against cam and gimbal when phantom...

    Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest update?

    Re: Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest updat Isn't that pretty much what I was saying? Albeit in a more verbose way :-) The difference here is that at critical battery level auto land, one still has some control of pitch roll and yaw and to some degree power. However, in this...

    Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest update?

    Re: Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest updat Yes I get that. But a little warning before it literally disables my controller sticks would have been nice! Also if I the battery warning kicks in much earlier, I'd never hardly get off the ground with a fresh battery lol. Enforced...

    Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest update?

    Re: Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest updat That's what mine said after the upgrade. Before that, I had it set to 25%/15%. Despite this, I'm reasonably sure the first warning/forced landing (crash even?) occurred at 35%!! I think I read somewhere that now, the first...

    Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest update?

    Re: Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest updat Pretty sure. I understand what you are saying but I expect it will only do the climb to 20 thing if it needs to actually move horizontally to the home point? I believe in my case, it was already hovering virtually at the home point...

    Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest update?

    Re: Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest updat I flew mine the other day, first time since the big update. Mostly it was a positive experience, apart from the automatic RTH on FIRST low battery warning. That feature is positively dangerous and potentially suicidal!! I have turned...

    Phantom + No control Twice

    PS. when you remove the prop guards, please remember to replace the long screws (supplied with the guards) with the shorter original ones. Failure to do this could easily result in ruined motor coil windings! The motor screw holes are bottomless! PPS. I noticed in one if your vids that you had...

    Phantom + No control Twice

    Thanks for documenting all this so well. I have had my P2V+ for a few weeks now and no such issues! YET! Flown maybe 10 battery charges, on several outings. At one point I went up to about 650 ft! It is clearly very disconcerting to hear your story and other similar ones. I have a set of prop...

    Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest update?

    Re: Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest updat Scott, how do you revert back to 3.0.4, I almost crashed once and almost had a flyaway. This upgrade is not for me. Norm I don't understand why you want to revert back to older version. If you had landed immediately, as everyone...

    Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest update?

    Re: Anyone flown a 2+ yet after installing this latest updat I don't get why some of you guys seem to be trying to fly on to or beyond critical battery level, and complaining of little or no lift? Surely everyone should land immediately upon the first low battery warning onset (or even...
