Just had a great flight and had video running the whole 10 minutes or so. I turned off the Phantom before stopping the video (oops). My Mac won't read the file now. Any way to recover it?

Neat idea, but the camera angles are weird - most of the video is aerial footage of an empty road in the middle of a corn field. Would have been neat to follow closer.

Nope, just tried 3.06. Shoddy FPV continues. Anyone else?

Oh yeah, and I didn't update the firmware yet. Maybe that is a problem?

Anyone have the APK for Android to downgrade to the previous version? FPV is very unreliable with this new version. I get freezing video all the time, even with the quad closeby and out in the countryside away from interference. I flew in the same place a couple weeks ago before the update and...

Could you try an experiment and while it's sitting (before taking off) with the altitude showing inaccurate 15-20' off, flip S2 up and down about 5 times to re-set the home position. See if you have a new altitude reading after this.

Is this what you're referring to below? OK, *when* exactly is this "prior to take-off" event measured? It seems like the OP is seeing 15-20' inaccuracy in height, I'm guessing before even taking off (wasn't specified). If this is so, then the process you describe is self-referencing and...

Where does the barometric pressure sensor get its zero-reference? Anyone? Home point, but is that even defined before taking off?

I don't think that can be. Isn't the home point set when you take off? Because if so, then when you first start up the Phantom at a new location and connect (before taking off) the home point would be either undefined or the home point from the previous flight. Both of these references would be...

How do you know how "high" it is?

Smart battery? Stock charger?

How are you determining what the height "should" be? Maybe you're actually 15' above sea level and it's a units problem? Would help if they said in the application if the altitude was Above Home Point, AGL, or AMSL.

How old is the battery? Were you recording? Not sure why I can't get 20 minutes down to 30%, even under the conditions you state.

Search Google on how to close the app (not put it into the background). Close the app completely.

1. When connected to the Phantom_XXXXX network, you're not using cellular data. 2. When not connected to the Phantom_XXXXX, close the app completely. No data will be used (cellular or otherwise). Done.
