    Battery Fault? 2 Green centre lights

    Thanks. Have contacted dealer who has never seen this fault before either and they have asked to send it back to them. Luckily its just in warranty too.

    Battery Fault? 2 Green centre lights

    Hi, Many thanks for this. I have searched the forum and cant find any post relating to this! Anyway, I've plugged it in and weirdly it comes up with "Not DJI Intelligent Battery" and there isn't an option to upgrade firmware as it doesn't recognise what firmware is installed. Very odd as this...

    Battery Fault? 2 Green centre lights

    1 of my batteries on Phantom Vision + has suddenly developed a fault with the 2 centre green LED's remaining solid. It remains even when trying to charge. What does this mean? Any way to reset it? Many Thanks

    Phantom takes off then becomes more erratic in flight

    Just reporting back, and yes that did fix it! The compass MUST remain in the position and orientation as per original fixing on legs. :D Thanks all for your help.

    Phantom takes off then becomes more erratic in flight

    Thank you so much for posting this 'OI Photography'! This is exactly what's started happening after we changed the landing gear for a 3rd party one. Even after squaring up the compass, the same problem occurring, so we are now about to put the old legs back on and should sort it. Amazing how...

    Phantom takes off then becomes more erratic in flight

    Thanks all for your ideas. Have run it hard on a table holding it down for a few minutes and none of the motors get hot. none of them are binding and have taken it apart and nothing damaged inside or wires crimped. What does seem to happen though is the "throttle" seems to 'stick' in GPS and...

    Out of box, wont calibrate and flashes yellow, green, red!

    Re: Out of box, wont calibrate and flashes yellow, green, re Update.. Finally after hours and hours, we have some kind of success with the calibration. I think its OK, although the IMU calibration mod setting for the compass is registering around 1900. It says in the help that it is usually...

    Out of box, wont calibrate and flashes yellow, green, red!

    Re: Out of box, wont calibrate and flashes yellow, green, re Thanks for this info. Have followed it numerous times but although is completes the advanced calibration process, well, it puts a tick next to it so presume its done, there's still a warning symbol, and error 27 - 'GPS not...

    Just received new Phantom yesterday. Have followed instructions, out of box updated firmware to 3.16, tried to advance calibrate as it said it needed to, but it comes up with error message that either too hot and to allow to cool, (even if we leave it for more than that) or that there's too much...
