I had been posting to get help and info on how to bypass the Phantom 2 battery. It is almost impossible with out using the board inside the battery but if you are willing to sacrifice a battery you can use the board once rewired to generate the pulses needed to fire up the motors on the Phantom...

I have a Beholder Lite Gimbal with the blue board not the green. This is what I need to fix. The auto leveling seems to work as it should, but when I move the manual pitch lever on the phantom 2 controller (5K pot), the camera platform will move from level to 30 degrees up angle or from level...

Does anybody have a real answer to the question if the lower pot on the TX of the Phantom 2, not the 2 Vision, but the Phantom 2, can be set for extra output or not. The newer Phantom 2 TX has no beep to let you know it is in the high power mode. Does that mean it does nothing? Please post what...

One last time, if you please... This was for Ksc I did read the manual and I want you to know I was a little confused as to what the readings meant. All I did was post what I thought was a benign need for conformation to a readout I was a little unsure of. I did not know I would have to prove...

What a fire storm, from so little!!! I was fairly sure I had things right but I had read about several that had what they called a flyaway. It was just a precaution that I posted my upgrades incase there was something I missed that, (sorry now I said smarter than me, should have said more...

I have the original Phantom and now a Phantom 2. I posted a picture showing the firmware upgrades I have done to the Phantom2. I need someone smarter than me to tell me I have everything I need. Please look and let me know, thank you.

Thank you so much for the info. I was finding pictures but the resolution was so bad I could not tell how many wires each had. Thanks again.

Using the cloverleaf 5.8 antennas, I ordered a set that came with no markings or instructions. One has three elements and one has four. Which one goes on the receiver and in turn which one goes onto the transmitter. Please respond, thank you.

To thetac, What you said in the post above this one is right on the money, thank you for your view of things. And again I say thanks to all that bothered to get involved with this thread. The first night I flew after 4.2, I thought I had really messed it up but with all the input, it flies again...

Re: 4.2 Woes, I got it fixed, life is good... I got it fixed, I got it fixed, and it flies like its on rails. As someone told me, I used the magnet too soon and should have just done the compass dance right after I did the firmware update. I was mistaken and tried to reload the new firmware a...

I am so sorry to bother again, but I have a few more questions, please. When you reset the default settings I am using the default download titled 4.00. Is that the right one? And when you click to actually do the reset function it asks if you are sure and tells you to remove the props. Now...

OK, let me tell you what I’ve got. I had to use a magnet on the compass because the compass Mod # at 300 or so would not let me calibrate the IMU with the computer. I got the mod # to 720, calibrated, reset defaults, took it out to fly, did the dance, it found the satellites did the multi...

I used a magnet on the compass like described in the DJI tutorial. I was able to get it up to 710.0 for the Mod#. The error 27 went away and I was able to complete an advanced calibration. But I am still not happy with 710, when it should be 1400 or so. It is cold and late so I will do the...

I did the 4.2 upgrade and took it for a flight. It was OK but danced around a little more than usual. I then found out I needed to incorporate the default settings from the DJI site. I did but all I could find was a ZIP file for the 4.0 default right in with the 4.2 stuff so I used it. I...

Thank you so very much. That is what I was missing. Thank you again...
