    Battery problem

    It sure is a thrilling experience when all goes as scheduled! As a Newbie myself, I find that minute tiny adjustments with the controls is best, and if you extend the left Joy Stick (it is like a Jam Nut), that helps me for ensuring my in-flight adjustments are small and my Drone comes home all...

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R I think for now I just might sit on the fence and watch my Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 drift about aimlessly until GoPro launches something special for us in 9 months time!

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R Steve, it has been well documented by many others earlier on this thread that by either peeling back, or cutting through the red stickers to gain access into the Phantom does NOT void your warranty. People are doing this to REDUCE...

    Correct way to remove/restore Gimbal Lock and Lens Cover

    I have also read on the threads (and a few YouTube videos) that you MUST be extremely careful not to touch the ribbon on the left side (looking at the lens of the camera, or from the front of the unit). Remove and replace the lock from the right. The ribbon is very fragile, and if it is slightly...

    I've read "00" for the Phillips screw. It's available in the Jeweler's Screw Driver Set (Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store or a good Automotive Store). 2mm Hex Screwdriver 00 Phillips Screwdriver

    2 motors overheated and melted the body, caused to crash

    I agree, don't open your unit! On the Phantom's box, what is your S/N? There is a thread discussion where this may be useful. They're collecting data on the Phantom's. Of course you will not be able to provide the ESC version, but your S/N and date of purchase (and what else you can offer) may...

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R burbark, I'm sure this image will open their eyes at DJI. Idle with no load running at about 126 deg F on the PCB is not cool with any electronics engineer (when considering a mass produced "Hobby Toy". You sure nailed this one on the...

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R Thanks for your input eyecon82. Shame on them then. Customer Service is a MAJOR factor when I purchase Chinese.

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R Prylar Bek, is GoPro entering the QuadCopter market? I've tried to google this with no sensible results. If so, can someone share a link (or 2) as to where to research further information on this? thanks in advance, Michael
