    What do you think of my combination of music and sound effects:

    Video looked great, but to me: 1. Sounded like a cheap piano sample. 2. Piano part played an octave too high so was annoying. 3. Can’t understand the need of the Guinea Pigs sample. Oh! Geese! Yeah...didn’t work for me. 4. Wind “brown noise” sample at the end too loud for me. Other than...

    Phantom 2 Nearly new. Whats it worth?

    OK, will think on that option as well. Seems a pity to part out a “new” drone. Thanks

    Phantom 2 Nearly new. Whats it worth?

    Hi Guys, I joined this forum back in 2015. I had just bought a P2 from a commercial drone pilot that had bought a P2 that had dropped out of the sky onto rocks and was smashed to bits. He was halfway through his license at the time and DJI was dragging its heels over replacing the drone. He...

    S1 or S2 replacement switches. Phantom 2.

    Thanks for your help. I found link elsewhere to an eBay USA auction that sells the same toggle switch and have ordered them. I may still order the Jameco ones if I have any issues with the switches that are now on the way. Thanks once more. mark.

    S1 or S2 replacement switches. Phantom 2.

    Does anyone know where I can buy exact replacements for the S1 & S2 switches on a Phantom 2 remote controller? If not original, a toggle switch that fits? Thanks mark

    What is this access through the remote case for?

    Thanks Hughie. If I understand this correctly...Maybe I should switch back to the CE setting. Maybe I'm transmitting a stronger signal that I need to that the P2 doesn't require and I'm draining my remote batteries sooner? Nonsense? Thanks mark

    Best place in UK to buy Phantom 2 battery?

    Hi Guys, I need to replace/buy/hack a battery or two for my Phantom 2. I bought a second hand P2 and the battery is very poor. I have read online and also on this forum about guys who are experimenting with converting the smart battery to use cheaper Lipo's and also to get longer flying time...

    Thinking of switching to NAZA - what really changes?

    Thanks to Hughie for answering the OP's questions. This has helped me immensely with my test flights today. I now agree that learning to fly in Phantom mode is best...and then turn to NAZA M when you can fly. Thanks once more! mark

    What is this access through the remote case for?

    Thanks to you both for the replies! I'm on a P2 Non Vision, and i get 2 beeps when I boot up...which I didn't get before I played with the trim pot. I'm in Scotland, so I assume the P2 is restricted to 300m?...so should I switch back to the 1 beep position on the remote? Or won't it effect...

    Newbie after first flight...questions about Course Lock

    Thank you SO much N017RW for making that clear. I will be a lot happier heading out to fly again. I will fix my toggle switch and try and get a flight in this week. best! mark
