    Closing the aperture

    ND filters cause glare, contrast loss, sharpness loss, image quality degradation overall. Less glass is good. I've made my own aperture on telephoto lenses and they work great. The important thing, however, is that you install it between the glass of the lenses, and right in the center of the...

    Attaching A GoPro type camera to my P2v+

    So.. My drone is in bad shape. I was not able to see what the camera was recording due to not using it for a few months. Then I crashed it.. and again.. and this time the gimbal's had it. It just flops all over when I turn it on. So I am thinking rather than trying to fix it right, just...

    lightbridge firmware PROBLEM (and solution) - firmware version not found by dji assistant tool

    Yes, I followed the instructions; parity none, no stop bits, and 8 bit.. These are only photos I have. It's back together and flying blind for now... This was my first soldering job, before I cleaned it up a bit. I trimmed the excess wire before attempting. I tried twice soldering, in case I...

    lightbridge firmware PROBLEM (and solution) - firmware version not found by dji assistant tool

    No. I adjusted my port settings in my Windows configuration to allow speeds up to 115200+ (setting suggested in instructions).. The default setting was 9600. Then I used 115200 in Tera Term. I figured what point would it be to try and use 115200 if the port is only set at 9600? At any rate...

    lightbridge firmware PROBLEM (and solution) - firmware version not found by dji assistant tool

    Yes. I did. I have also tried it at 9600 baud since my port in Device Manager, that was the default.. Tried it at both speeds more than once at each with no change. I did take it out for a flight today and did alright with no FPV but will be glad to get the video back.

    Ok I am stuck.. I think my board it not booting. I'm not getting "boot me boot me boot me" message. Instead, I AM getting a whole string of characters, like arabic/machine language/unintelligible strings in my terminal window right after I connect in the exact proper order the board to the...

    lightbridge firmware PROBLEM (and solution) - firmware version not found by dji assistant tool

    OKSTUV, GREAT tutorial on how to fix P2 Vision +. Mine sat for over a year and went to fly today but no camera visuals. I found out about the problem, and found your well-written tutorial. The instructions are long and daunting, but I am going to do it rather than replace the whole wifi...

    Release DJI Ground Station for P2V+ Waypoints app 1.0.41

    Re: Release DJI Ground Station for P2V+ Waypoints app 1.0.4 Not true. In fact it cannot be connected to the copter for downloading maps. It needs to be connected to the internet and cannot do both at the same time.

    Release DJI Ground Station for P2V+ Waypoints app 1.0.41

    Re: Release DJI Ground Station for P2V+ Waypoints app 1.0.4 It doesn't work on your device is most likely the explanation. I had the same problem and tried everything over and over, all sorts of ways and nothing helped. Finally swapped out the device for a friend's and worked as advertised...

    Top Speed

    It's starting to make sense to me now why people are flying by me on the freeway like I am standing still.

    Here's a TEN mile flight. Looks like the operator is flying from a car. Cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBj3ntfzCxg
