I've got a P2+ and the Epson glasses, and have used them since they came out. There is an app called Ultimate Vision (there's a link around here somewhere) that has a specific build for the them and it is a really nice job, better than the DJI app. Btw, the glasses only work on the P2/P2+...

The three plugs will only fit in the correct socket - they're all three different. from memory, one has five, one four and one three. The only way to do it is with a pair of good tweezers that you can use with a good light source to guide you. It's hard to determine when you'e got it in the...

My experience is that at some point you get a battery error, and that's the end of the show. You can charge/discharge all you want, but the error never goes away. And frankly, do you really want to fly on a sketchy battery? I like to hike out to scenic spots and fly over pretty inaccessible...

You can upgrade the Moverio Glasses by rooting them but the best solution is to use the Ultimate Flight app which is made just for them. I've been using it for a month or so. Bigger image with full screen (something the Vision app won't do) and lots of controls including a built-in booster...

I never had a problem with an iPhone 5s, but using Android devices (tablet and Moverio) is where I've had problems too. Good advice about stopping other processes - things like weather apps and things that update, like email. And clearing out as much memory as you can helps too. With the...

JWarren, had to smile at that one. I don't know anything about DJI other than they make a nice product. They also offer a repair service and from what I read, are pretty generous on warranty repair. When someone sends back a crashed bird, they could be real a$$holes - try getting warranty...

I'm thinking you're right- sounds like a power loss issue, probably related to the battery. It's a tight fit and if not locked, it could vibrate loose wnough to break contact. On another battery issue, I keep a piece of tape on the controller battery door. Very easy for the door to pop off in...

Control range, stock setup, is longer than FPV range, normally. As you bump up FPV range, you can often find where FPV exceeds control. Stock bird with 4.25 turn helical ants, about 4000 to maybe 5000 feet with good conditions. Beyond that and you get into situations where just being able to...

I've had the Moverio glasses for over a month, I can say they are well made. I've dropped the glasses a few times on hard surfaces and nothing broke. I can't make a comparison with other systems, but they are quite a step up from a tablet or phone as far as being able to see detail and in...

I would not be surprised to see one in the future that locks distance and altitude.

I'm in the stealth camp, myself. Now, it would be grreat to be able to activate the headlight on the way back, but the less seen the better in my book. I'd rather have it heard and hard to see.

I wish they would come up with some quieter props. The distinctive buzz gives it away. Or a noise-cancelling system somehow. I use the Moverio glasses, as far as I know, they're the only compatible goggle-like system for the PV2+ I've had a few glitches but once sorted out they're pretty...

I have made the mistake of taking off in a small clearing with trees all around. I had six sats on the ground, but as soon as I lifted off, I lost one and it flipped to ATTI mode. Instead of that braking action you have while under GPS (you let off the stick and it stops and hovers), it now...

Re: Purchased the Moverio BT-200 Smart Glasses? Review & Hel As far as how well they work, Originally, I had a few glitches with the video dropping out. I think these were caused by me. I had tried to load a few other apps and I think I pushed it too far. Once I reset it to factory settings...

I learn something with every flight, I think. To me, nothing's a scary as losing control signal. You care counting on RTH to kick in AND that you prepped the GPS right. One thing I find very useful is Home Lock. If you fly out to the point where FPV starts to fail, you can 'back up' towards...
