I have the procedure down for caching a map from Google Maps and then using it later to create waypoints in Ground Station. I now want to open a kml file (containing pre-selected waypoints) in Google Maps. Then if I cache that map, I can just touch on top of the kml waypoints out in the field...

Just out of curiosity, why would you ever need a 64 GB card on the P2V+? Ten minutes of video at 1080P 30fps only takes about 1 GB. If you're lucky enough to get 20 minutes of video out of a battery, that's 2GB per battery, or 32 batteries worth of memory. Ron

I checked the battery and it was only showing that it had 3 recharge cycles, which is correct. I guess that's the way they're shipping them in the US now? The first P2V that I bought from B&H back in December came in CE mode. Ron

I just got my new P2V+ a week ago. I've read that all P2V's and P2V+'s are shipped with the controller in CE mode. Mine was in FCC mode (2 beeps) right out of the box! FCC was also selected in the RC System Assistant Software when I checked it. Does this mean that my P2V+ was a recycled...

I'm sure glad I read this post. I didn't realize there was a "FPV" option on the Vision+ (always flew a P2V). I had noticed that the horizon was not level on parts of my videos and wondered why. I just went to check it out and sure enough, the FPV option was checked on my DJI app. It really...

I tried Ground Station today for the first time and it worked perfectly. The only problem I potentially see is when starting a mission while being surrounded by trees, such as might happen while filming a golf course. Today, I thought I had the first waypoint right at my home point, but there...

OK, thanks for the very helpful tips! I think I will go with caching the map from Google Maps, while at home, before the actual flight. I plan on using Ground Station pretty much exclusively for photography sessions, so I will normally know where I'll be flying, before getting there. That...

I searched this topic and read the manual, but am still somewhat confused. How are you Ground Station users (especially Android users) acquiring maps? Since you can't have WiFi and 4G connections going simultaneously, I'm assuming you have to cut off the WiFi to the Phantom and then open...

WOW, what a difference it makes when you have the gimbal mounted correctly! It now does a much better job, but still some minor vibrations upon rapid acceleration in any direction. Also during a strong roll to the right (looking from the rear), the right camera fin did hit the board, as I...

Couple of things...did you mount the gimbal to carbon fiber mount with the screws going down through the carbon fiber board or did you mount the support on top of the carbon fiber board and mount the 3 screws from the bottom. The 3 screw mounting bracket should go up through the SimpleBGC board...

Piranha, We have your settings for the gimbal software (thanks!) and you say to "set pitch gain to zero" in the phantom assistant software. Is there anything else that needs to be adjusted in the phantom assistant software? Ron Wilson

Did my first flight today with the new gimbal installed and camera working. Any naive notions I had that this would be an out of the box solution were quickly bashed. The gimbal appeared to be working perfectly, but the proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the Jello pudding. I had...

cnitschke, You nailed it! Tonight, while in the controlled environment of my kitchen, I put a fresh battery in and turned the unit back on. I noticed (without the bright sunlight) that the green light on the back of the camera was not on. I powered down and tried pushing the 3.5mm jack more...

I got my AF Cyclops gimbal yesterday and found time to install it today. After hooking everything up, I inserted the battery and powered it up. The gimbal was working perfectly inside the house. Then I took it outside to do a test flight. Everything was going fine, until I started the DJI...
