I have a Phantom 1 with a version 3 upgrade board. I have the H3-2D gimbal with a Gopro 3+ black a mini iosd and a 5.8 Ghz video transmitter all wired in and functioning correctly. When the props are NOT connected I can power up full throttle and everything will operate normal for at least 8 -...

For what it is worth don't give up. My coworker lost his P2V in July high in a thick tree. He waited till November for the leaves to fall before he was able to find it again. The only damage he had was that he needs to replace the body because one of the motor mounts melted causing the motor to...

I was just rerouting my receiver cable to install my gimbal and broke one of the antenna connectors off the board. I have the Phantom 1 with the dual antenna 2.4ghz part 31 receiver board. Of course there are no cheap ones to be found but eBay has a few Phantom 2 part 5 receiver boards listed...

I'm posting for a friend. He just recovered his P2V from a tree (It was a tall tree lots of leaves that had to fall before it could be found) after 4 months and the only damage so far seems to be maybe the camera "gimble" may not work. The electronics are as pristine as the day it was built. The...

JKD when I switched on other controllers in front of my frequency counter I saw a change (there are already random 2.4 Ghz signals in the air) but it would seem a good unit will cause the counter to jump 50 mhz or better when you turn it on as it "switches channels" . My SJ6 did not do that. I...

I just picked up a P1 for $100 at a flea market (that should have been my first clue). I have done a lot of reading over the last week and have narrowed my issue down to a bad SR6 transmitter. I can not get it to bind no matter what I do. Steady red light inside I push the button it blinks...
