    Is There A Preferred Vendor?

    B&H if you haven't ordered already! I had problems with my 2D gimbal after the 30 day return period. They had me send it in to them for repair, but then they forwarded it to DJI for the repair - estimated 6-8 weeks. I emailed about a week later to see if they had a tracking # to DJI. They...

    Hard Case vs Backpack

    I was in the same boat - I live in western NC and wanted to take the quad into the field. I really felt I needed a hard case for road trips so I got the GoPro model. Was pondering the backpack idea, but didn't want to spend any more $$$. Saw a post in another thread where a guy mentioned using...

    Legal Background Sound On The Web?

    I use http://www.ccmixter.org/ for a lot of my music. Most can be used non-commercially with just attribution. The problem is wading through the thousands of songs and clips to find what you like. Use the tags cloud to begin, then if you find an artist you like, go to their page and listen to more.

    Flying Legal in or 'Over' Parks

    It probably does since the BRP is a part of the national park system. I've launched mine on a few occasions from the Parkway, but probably won't any more due to the ban. I would assume the ban begins immediately even though it doesn't yet say so yet on the official web site. The places I...

    hibernation mode

    Thanks for the reply - did you revert from 2.0 or 3.0? Other than this, the P2 flies great.

    hibernation mode

    Hope someone can help. I have the P2 with H3-2D gimbal and have a problem with the gimbal going into hibernation mode. I have 3.0 firmware and everything else is up to date and calibrated (it also did this in 2.0 firmware). When I power up, the GoPro goes to the correct position and tilts like...

    bad horizon tilt while in flight

    My Zenmuse H3-2D developed this problem after about 6 successful flights on my P2 - now have about a dozen flights in. The gimbal and camera start out perfectly level, but after a couple of minutes, the gimbal tilts badly to one side as if it's lost where level is. Rocking the P2 back and forth...

    Newbe-problem with gimbal calibration

    Thank you!!! I was clicking 'finish' after the sticks thinking that calibrating the X1 was another step in the same software. That fixed the camera tilt problem. I have another gimbal problem, but will do a separate post. Thanks again! Rich

    Newbe-problem with gimbal calibration

    I'm having problems with the gimbal also and have attempted fixing using these steps. In this 1st step, I can calibrate the sticks, but the RC Assistant says to calibrate the X1 in the P2 Assistant program. Am I missing something? How do you calibrate the X1 in the RC Assistant program? I...
