I think that's the problem pert. That's a massive payload for FC40 to carry!! Mine weighs ~800g without battery and ~1000g with stock 2200mah. That extra weight is the thing that's really killing off your battery IMHO.... :o

Hey pert. Just wondering what is your take off weight? Based on the pictures you posted in the other post (viewtopic.php?f=20&t=23773) it looks like you've got a lot of extra weight on board?? :?

"no load" - "loss" = "loaded" you can change "no load" & "loss" to get a number you want for "loaded" ;)

Thank you so much for your help LK!! Really appreciate it. I'll get a P2V repeater and see if I can get it to work with the FC40 camera. ;)

In that case, will I be able to connect to the repeater directly with my laptop without the P2V camera? Or will I need to set up a WiFi AP with a SSID in the same format as the P2V camera?

Now please excuse my nooby question. Does this mean that I can potentially modify the SSIDs via the WebUI in the P2V+/P2V repeater to get it to work with the FC40 camera? :?

If you're like me, who's not keen on permanently modding the Phantom, you can consider buying and fitting a pre-made battery door like these: http://www.shapeways.com/model/1429150/ ... terialId=6 or http://www.shapeways.com/model/1059927/ ... terialId=6 I've ordered the one with holes on...

Get a low voltage alarm from HobbyKing (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... ators.html) or eBay. I've just bought a wireless battery voltage alarm from HK (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... Alarm.html). Have a look if you're interested. ;)

Have you considered maybe hooking it up to a small USB power bank? Not sure if the camera would record if it's being charged though.... :?
