Just got this used P2 V3 V+ that may have been in some kind of crash I don't have much background on it, it has some small visible damage but the gimbal is intact and for the most part it looks like it may have been a minor crash, it came with the updated controller that charges, I've done IMU...

e Well you were right, now if only it was that simple with this Phantom 2 I'm tinking with, I think it has a bad motor or the ESC board might be shot, I got a single slow blinking light on, anyone know for sure?

That might explain the Phantom 3 Pro I recently saw going for $300, only thing is they are selling on a site that if the buyer is not satisfied they don't get paid, so why bother with a ripoff?

One other advantage that comes to mind, I would think the Phantom can handle payloads if necessary.

Looks like I screwed up, the props were on backwards but only because I put the top shell on backwards, I was wondering why the battery cover wouldn't close right, I was certain I had put the shell on correctly, so I corrected it put the props on correctly and it flies. Glad it wasn't the...

I'd stick with the Phantom not just because you have the gear for it, smaller for me doesn't necessarily mean better, more chance of losing it in the sky and breaking it it since it's foldable, other reasons might be that the 2 birds are very different as are gimbles, that's my 2 cents worth on...

Anyone with Phantom experience know if it's possible to have a Phantom 2 Vision + Camera on a Standard 3? I'm asking because the Vision +cameras cost less for a replacement for a Phantom, but my guess is it can't be done because the gimbles are different? Also ever heard of a Phantom 3 Standard...

Hi sorry for the late reply, props are all color matched so no, I wish that were the case easy fix, and as for moto spinning faster not from what I can observe any way to check for sure? Other than that I'm thinking the gyros went bad even though calibration seems to work, so now I'm about to...

Hello I finally today soldered back the battery leads on my 686, only to find that it won't fly, it calibrates with no problem the props are on correctly the motors work fine it just won't fly, as soon as I hit the throttle it slumps over forward, any clue what might be wrong? Thanks for any help.

After 20 years selling on Ebay i'm done I just can't deal with their treatment of sellers, anyhow it's still available so if anyone is interested I think it's still on the ebay link just not active let me know, I will accept all reasonable offers. Thanks I just listed my whole Hubsan 107 D...

Fair enough, I didn't realize I did that I will break it up, I appreciate the feedback. Hopefully that's better.

30 Views and no replies? Can someone at least share a thought I would really appreciate some feedback here.

So after all those posts I made back in the day when I was a quadcopter virgin newbie, I have now been through A Syma X8G that Tenergy gave to me to do a review for if anyone wants to see it I'll send you think link on my Youtube i'ts pretty funny. , 2 Hubsans X4s one with FPV and goggles, not...

Just got one of these selfie FPV drones, has proprietary LION battery and so far I haven't been able source spare parts, this model is relatively new so might have to wait a little unless someone knows something about these? Thanks

Well I read rumors on the AMA forum that they might bring suit, but so far no action, and yes very sad that an individual had to be the catalyst when there are such vast numbers of hobbyists in the U.S. it seems many are just going to roll over, I don't have a problem with the $5 fee, my...
