I bought my Phantom on 3/16/15. I've had it for a little over a month now. DJI P2V+ V3.0 I bought extra batteries and props. I am still on the original props, no crashes or tips yet. I've opened her up and checked her out. (several times) I think I have the latest and the greatest. I did the...

flying through some playground equipment with no prop guards. Yes I am really flying this time. :D This is my first attempt at DashWare. I know it's kind of pointless in this short low altitude video, but I am experimenting and learning. I think the sync is off a little.

great. I bought my P2V+ a month ago and today they announce the 3. haha story of my life. oh well from what I've seen I still like my 2. I better. haha I have been reading about hard landings and the gimbal falling apart. I have seen some gimbal savers on ebay. I looked, I measured, I made my...

That's why I don't need prop guards when I fly indoors, no props! haha I'm glad I got a chuckle out of you. That's what life is all about. I'm already planning the next one. haha

I just crack myself up. Happy April Fool's Day!

OK so I gave up on the laser pointer. I cracked her open this afternoon and low and behold the gps sheild thing has already been done. Just a short 1" wire going to the board and even that has a sheild around it. I checked the motor wires carefully. They don't look like they have been overheated...

Thanks man. Thanks for all your help and advice, I appreciate it. If you and your wife ever come to Southern California be sure to look me up. We'll take you out to dinner and/or buy you a beer. We drink our beer COLD over here, the colder the better. :)

ahhh I get it now. Thank you so much. I haven't been doing the compass dance because I have been flying at the same place. I figured it was good. I have seen other folks (Demunseed) say you don't need to calibrate the compass every time, only when you fly in a new spot. But you are saying to do...

Thanks man. I think that is a good idea. After it acquires gps pick it up and walk in a 20 foot diameter circle, then set it back down. And double check the home position in find my phantom. What are your thoughts on setting my radius to 100 miles? I realize I am taking away a safety limit...

Hey Neil, Have you seen this? what do you think? I set my radius to 100 miles. fly aways have been my biggest concern and I feel so much better about it now.

I've had my P2V+ for a week now. 300 feet may not be much to you guys but I was nervous as all hell. still lots to learn a pretty boring video really. I am looking for better places to fly now. I ended it with a hand catch. Man the camera doesn't lie, I'm getting so old haha

I have had my P2V+ for less than a week now and I want to try some stuff. I read about the gps wire mod, tuck it under the shield. I haven't had any gps issues but I might try this just because it seems like it would be more efficient. I went to Naza M mode right away so I could have CL and...

I would get in trouble here in the states with the FAA. They have an imposed ceiling of 400 feet, which is plenty high for me! right now anyway. Thanks again for all your help.

I finally graduated. There was a "drone fair" in Los Alamitos, CA yesterday. I bought a P2V+. It is amazing.

I am a total newbie to quads and this site so bear with me. My wife got me a tiny quad from Radio Shack for my birthday in January. It lasted about an hour. I returned it and pooled that money with some other birthday money and went to Fry's. I ended up buying an UDI RC U829A. Quadcopter with...
