    Please Help Guys - FPV Issue Out of No Where [Video Inside]

    So I have an obligation with my P2 in 2 days, and yesterday I just went for a casual flight and noticed I am suddenly having problems with FPV. The display (both video and telemetry/osd) are off where they are supposed to be on the screen, it has this sort of "scrolling effect," -- it's...

    TK-102B GPS Tracker

    Hi, wondering what SIM card (and where from) people have purchased to be used in the TK-102B? That was the most popular tracker used for our purposes the last time I was researching it here. Has that changed? I remember seeing someone walk though the site to purchase the plan that doesn't...

    Black Pearl NOT A Good Match For ImmersionRC Tx?

    I am trying to put the pieces together to purchase FPV setup for my new Phantom on the way. I was doing a bit of reading up on antennas (which is where I really need help), when I started to come across some posts that the ImmsersionRC Tx and Black Pearl Diversity Monitor do not operate well...

    Helical/Patch Antenna + Other Question

    I haven't purchased anything yet and am just wanting to confirm the setup is good. What I think I have come up with is the ImmersionRC 5.8 Ghz Tx and the Black Pearl 32 channel diversity monitor. I know the antennas are important and that is where I am getting stuck. I will check out your...

    Helical/Patch Antenna + Other Question

    Trying to finalize my FPV shopping list and I'm a bit confused about the antenna set-up.. What is the difference between a Helical and Patch antenna?? They are both directional antennas right? I.e. help with long range.. Is the SpiroNET by ImmersionRC the same thing as a cloverleaf...

    Is There A Preferred Vendor?

    That's it, I'm buying my Phantom tonight why put it off any longer. I have the V1.1.1, but I want the P2 being that it's more easily upgraded with everything. I wanted to ask, is there a vendor that you can advise me to purchase the Phantom 2 that offers the best support? The best price I have...

    Warranty from Amazon?

    There is a discussion I was reading about the warranty available on Amazon, at additional cost, when purchasing a DJI Phantom. I have been looking to purchase my second Phantom (P2 w/ H3-3D), and the best price I can find anywhere is ~$950. After reading about the Amazon thing, I searched Amazon...

    H3-2D -vs- All The Rest

    Thank you all for your responses. I had never even heard of a gimbal before 2 weeks ago lol. So you're responses are very much appreciated! Seems to me from what you are all saying is that the H3-2D is very dependable and compatible with the Phantom- more so than other options. And I don't...

    H3-2D -vs- All The Rest

    TL;DR What specifically does the H3-2D offer that other gimbals do not offer in terms of features, compatibility? Continuing on with my crash course into the world of RC [anything]. I am going to get going on FPV, but also I really would like to have the benefits of having a gimbal for...

    Trouble With NAZAM Assistant Software

    Has anyone had any trouble using the DJI Nazam Assistant software? I just connected it and it tells me there is a firmware upgrade (4.02) and I install it from within the software itself. Now, i'm having a hard time connecting. I turn on the controller, power on the Phantom, plug in USB...

    Locating Lost Phantom With GPS

    Hey thanks! Maybe I'll spring for the Garmin for an extra $75 or so... that way I could also avoid having to do the whole GSM SIM card thing as well. How did you affix it to the quadcopter?

    Locating Lost Phantom With GPS

    So I have been trying to research about finding your lost Phantom with a GPS tracker. Awesome. Need that. In fact, going to put this on before I even purchase the GoPro, POV system, etc. Might as well have a way to find it before I put more stuff on it. My question is, which one are you guys...

    Embarrassing Basic ? Power Off In Case Heads toward People

    No, I would not want to just cut it off and turn it into a brick. I had a the wrong understanding of the "flyaway" situation that the Phantom seems to be known for. Now I understand the quadcopter and receiver are not communicating in that scenario and therefore you would not be able to cut it...
