    Damaged lens, Repair or Replace?

    Thanks all for the advice. J Dot's lens so far is working better, although I still need to resolve some focus problems. I hope some fine adjustments will work out. I'm somewhat surprised that nobody is selling replacement lenses for a reasonable price, say $100.

    Damaged lens, Repair or Replace?

    Unfortunately my FC200 lens was scuffed in a scuffle with a tree. My fault entirely. No damage to the drone or the camera other than the lens. Everything works fine, however certain areas of the video are clearly blurry. I tried cleaning it and so on, and I searched the forums without...

    How do I regain control after RTH activation?

    Does this work in both Phantom and NAZA modes? I've often been confused by features that are available in one but not the other.

    Small drone nearly collides with airliner

    This event made CNN. It was an RC airplane modeled after a Phantom jet at an altitude of 2,300 feet. It's really not an issue related to the "drone" that we all enjoy, however it shows unmanned craft are a hot issue. http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/09/travel/un ... ?hpt=hp_t2

    My answer depends on how you define "safe"! I've had ~20 flights so far this spring. I've never had a real crash or hit anything. As I'm still new I have a tendency to tip it on take off. No damage so far except getting the props dirty! I suppose I need to take off hard and get away from...

    You should Sell your P2V's Now!

    I'm keeping my P2V until the fall when the next model comes out! There may be value in keeping the 1.08 software on it without any flight restrictions. If DJI wants to have a 6 month release cycle like it's doing it's gonna have to deal with an inventory problem getting rid of the old units.

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I'm not allowed to PM, but perhaps you can PM me. I'm interested in a good price on a Rotorpixel gimbal from anyone going to the + I don't like bothering everyone, but 'tis the forum rules.

    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    I just joined the forum. I've been lurking since December. I live in New Hampshire. My experience is mixed, and I can't tell if I have the problem. I constantly use yaw as I'm flying to get good video and I always have a minor toilet bowl effect for the first several minutes which goes away...
