Is anyone running 1.08 with their vision plus?

[BlackTracer]

I started with v1.08 with my P2V when I got it because that was the latest at the time. It flew flawlessly for about 5 flights with that. I updated to v2.00 when it came out and my P2V worked fine with that as well. I switched to NAZA in v2.00 and had no issues. I am leary about v3.00 because of the glitches people seem to be having. I know my plus will come with that.

I archived each version as I updated so I have v1.08, v2.00, and v3.00 laying in wait.

I know this has been asked before but I just want finality. My questions:
1. Can I safely revert my plus to v1.08 (or v2.00 for that matter) when I get it, because that version by general consensus is the most stable?
2. Has anyone successfully reverted all their firmware using v1.08 PC Assistant?
3. If so, do you simply run the updates in v1.08 to revert all the firmware?
4. Is anyone currently flying their plus with firmware updated using v1.08?
5. Will my 3-DOF gimbal work with v1.08 firmware?

I know this post may be redundant but I think it is a good idea to talk about 1.08 in a separate thread.

I know there is a "downgrading software" thread but it seems to have gotten off topic a bit.

1.08 has no 3rd axis support. Only 2.0 and 3.0

All in the release notes...

If 2D and 3D mean 2-DOF and 3-DOF, what is the H3 part stand for? I don't know what H3-2D and H3-3D mean with respect to the gimbal on the plus. Please explain.

So the camera will only move in pitch and roll in 1.08, but HPR in 2.0 and 3.0?

OK I see now the H3-2D and 3D refer to their Zenmuse gimbal. Excuse my ignorance, but what does this have to do with the plus gimbal? Is it a Zenmuse, or does it use the same commands as a Zenmuse? Do you know?

I'm running 1.08 on my P2V+ and everything is functional.

This just seems like a bad idea to me. 3.0 was made with the focus on vision+ support and 1.08.

The DJI website for the Vision+ however does give the option to download either 3.0 or 1.1 so I would go with 1.1 instead of 1.08. There is probably a reason they listed 1.1 on the download site for the Vision+ and not 1.08

But then again everyone is free to do whatever they want with their drone.

Actually that 1.1 is the RC assistant. 3.0 is the only option for the plus on the website.

Thank you for that straight answer sir.

OK, my bad

Right now I am leaning towards running 3.0, phantom 2 mode to start. Then switch to NAZA after a few flights.

I'm running Phantom 2 Assistant version 1.08 on both my P2V and my P2V+ quadcopters. First, I "upgraded" to PT2 Assistant V 2.0 or 3.0 in order to change the second battery warning to 12%, which cannot be done in PT2 Assistant version 1.08. Then, I "upgraded" from version 2.0 or 3.0 to version 1.08. The 12% "second battery warning" remained. (15% is the minimum allowable if programmed in in PT2 Assistant 1.08, I believe).
Then, I "upgraded" from version 2.0 (and 3.0) to version 1.08 of the PT2 Assistant.

Here are the instructions for the "upgrade" if you have a Windows computer:

Windows instructions for downgrade from PT2 2.00 or PT2 3.0 to PT2 1.08
