    Newbie H3-3D 2-axis control?

    Thanks for the prompt reply. So, if i understand you correctly, the only new feature with the H3-3D is an extra axis of stability? -- one other question -- the new P2 TX has an extra wheel -- what is that for? -- I guess what I'm really asking is whether buying the 14sg was a mistake! Was...

    Newbie H3-3D 2-axis control?

    Hi, I have been enjoying my P2 with the H3-2D, AVL-58 and stock tx. I just installed the H3-3D and bought a Futaba 14SG to go with it. I have a few (likely naive) questions: Does the stock rx on the P2 allow me to control both Tilt (move Gimbal Up and Down) and Pan? (Move the Gimbal Right and...

    GoPro Hero 4 fits my H3-3D....

    Right - let's just slam 2bn people and the fastest growing economy in the world...because they obviously don't know what they're doing. Whenever you say stuff like "Chinese don't know...bla bla" - you are just painting yourself as an extraordinarily insular person. Your great "copycats" are...

    Upgrading my P2 (Lightbridge, H3-3D etc..)

    Thx, I presume that will be a firmware fix that isn't too difficult to execute. I also read that I will lose the ground station functionality and elsewhere I have read confusing reports on whether my existing P2 transmitter/control will work...I also read that there are issues with the H3-3D...

    Upgrading my P2 (Lightbridge, H3-3D etc..)

    Hi - have hunted for some of this info - but haven't found it in one place... I have a P2 with a H3-2D (jan 14) with GoPro 3. I also bought the iosd mini and the bluetooth data link. I would love to upgrade to H3-3D with GoPro 4. I'd also like to add the Lightbridge. What traps, pitfalls and...

    Video and FPV for Phantom 2

    Hi all, Just wanted to report that I have successfully connected my P2 to both an iPad and a Nexus 7 for FPV with low latency - and I don;t mean using the GoPro wifi! Still more to come - but here's the story so far: http://www.phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=8225

    SOLVED: FPV on an iPad/iPad Mini/Nexus 7/Win8

    Well, perhaps SOLVED is a little strong, maybe WIP would be better, since the North-East weather has prohibited taking the p2 airborne -- so right now, I can confirm that this works on the Ground - but haven't put it in the air - and so would suggest no one rush out and buy any of this kit until...

    AVL58 with iOSD Mini - Mini Plug

    I had the same question/issue. See my thread here: http://phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5663 ravecreative put together a short video that was helpful. I snipped the AVL cable, just behind the T-junction and then followed his "lead". s.

    Dashing Through The Snow...

    Probably a combination. I noticed the p2 had trouble holding altitude - dunno whether that was due to cold, moisture, GPS lock through the snow -- or my incompetence at flying the thing!

    Are the P2 Vison props the same as the P2 ones?

    have gone through the props that came with the P2 :( so I gotta reload and everyone lists the P2V's and no one lists P2 props? also -- anyone got any good recs on bumpers/guards that fit the P2? I need L plates on my quad.
