That pretty much matches my experience.

Recalibration fixed servo travel problem I want to mention a problem and solution. RP gimbal was working fine, but started traveling WAY too far each way. The problem continued even after correctly re-setting pitch gain, Max-Center-Min etc. Keri indicated I should try recalibrating the...

Seems to me that if you're in the US, ordering from RP NOW would get you a gimbal faster AND cheaper than from Dronexpert.

Keri's recent post on FB mentioned that they are up to order ####3300. At this rate, by the end of the month -- probably sooner--, you'll be able to get one shipped shortly after placing the order.

I was having this problem with the ORIGINAL gimbal on a stock P2V, right out of the box, before installing the RP gimbal. It did not behave as the first two I had purchased. The dealer told me that DJI had changed the settings to default to an angle less than 90 degrees (horizontal). I have...

One point that seems lost in all this, and that seems very much worth noting, is that the shipments going out are for a much improved product over the already very good one that people ordered. The motors and plastic are much better. Customers are getting something substantial for the wait.

I recently received the newer model of Rotorpixel gimbal (replacement for crashed one I originally got many months ago), and it is NICE NICE NICE. I had a question about it, and wrote to Keri. He didn't respond immediately, but he did respond in a few days. Yeah, I'm guessing he's pretty...

As far as I can tell, the backlog is at most 466 units: the latest order number is 3406, and the highest order number shipped (that I am aware of) is 2940. That would indicate about 4 weeks from an order placed today to a shipping notice, or -- for you optimists -- as short as 3 weeks at...

Intelligent UAS had a Fathers Day sale with a Phantom 2 Vision for $899. That's over, and the best I've found is $999 with 4% cash back, and another $100 for an additional battery. Are there any better deals out there for immediate purchase from a reputable dealer? And if it's not about...

I've been trying for many days to reach DJI by phone to get an RMA. Even if I call right after they open at 9 AM PST, the call is dropped as soon as the recording finishes the "please hold" bit. This happens repeatedly, consistently, every time, any time I call. Has ANYONE been able to get...

I've flown close to large metal structures on many occasions. I'm not sure why, but I have seen the Phantom pulled toward the structure when just hovering, and the pull gets stronger the closer it gets. You need to be ready to compensate. That's the only problem I found.

To protect threads when I transport, I use broken props. I sawed off all but half an inch of each arm.

The best landing gear extensions are your hands and arms. Just catch the Phantom. I've done it a hundred times without incident.

A polarizing filter can do wonders for skies, and is a must if you fly over water.

My Phantom Vision simply fell out of the sky from over 100 feet and of course there was damage. I'm looking for a repair guy in my area. What happened: everything was fine, I was lining up a shot looking at the phone screen, when suddenly it went from steady image to end-over-end tumbling...
