    Phantom v1.1.1 lifts her legs!

    Glad you liked it....it was fun doing and even with those two big batteries those three bladed props pulled that thing up in the air like a rocket ship! Ive since moved on now to autonomous flight with the P2 and Iris. Still have the retracts and also a set for my 550.

    For anyone thinking about buying the taller legs for P2

    No not at all....I just wanted people to know what I ran into when I installed the taller legs on my phantom 2......the cable issue (being too short) took me by surprise! The double battery landing gear someone else just added on.....personally I agree with you that it's too much weight...but i...

    For anyone thinking about buying the taller legs for P2

    sure i buy and sell on ebay....and i really didn't consider the outside US market....sorry you might get a better deal than us....and i agree with you the dual battery setup looks heavy...i don't think i would buy it but i think it is ingenious and innovative...i have dual batteries mounted...

    For anyone thinking about buying the taller legs for P2

    OK my math isn't too good...17.50 vs 29.95= $20 less? BTW....29.95 = us buyer, 3 day delivery but whatever...17.50 from china...good luck with that...

    For anyone thinking about buying the taller legs for P2

    If you are thinking about buying this landing gear for your P2 or original phantom (because when you turn off the P2/gimble the camera hits the ground) : http://www.ebay.com/itm/251439498576?ss ... 1439.l2649 Here's something to think about .......even though the gear is taller (and does keep...

    P2V & Ground Station

    At this time the GS cant be used on either the P2 or the PV2......you can use the GS on the DJI F550flame....and if you are really ambitious you can take the Naza V2, install it into your P2 or old phantom, and use the GS.....of course it'll cost you about 300 bones and some time, but it will work!

    Groundstation on PC

    The GS on the P2 does not work for anyone right now...no matter the platform....we are waiting on the release of firmware by DJI....no telling when that will be

    iOS Ground Station on Phantom 2

    This is very similar to 3d robotics and the Iris.....they took your money up front and promised a product on a deadline...when the product wasn't complete on time they refunded your money without question. I'm not complaining about the cost of the P2, or the Vision if that's your gig,....what...

    iOS Ground Station on Phantom 2

    Personally I think it's all BS....they advertise the p2 for use with the GS...and then you can't use it? They even have an ipad app. all the pieces a guy needs to buy (>$200) and when you get it and try hooking it all up....oh sorry you can't use it yet! Even now if you look at the DJI...
