It didn't brick mine but if wont let you go back. You can still upgrade via USB but only forward.

No it didn't work I'm afraid, I believe currently the only way to go back is to buy a second hand controller with the old firmware still on...

Would analysis of the internal sd card give the flight info and can it be accessed by anyone other than DJI?

No it didn't work. Reverting to plan b and getting a controller with the old firmware.

Don't want to fall out about it fella, as I've said before I LOVE my phantom. It's the most fun I've had out of the bedroom for a long time. Just want folks to be objective and if they can come up with proof more substantial than I've found I'll review. My motivation was never to put anyone...

I used to push 6k out (12/13 return) every flight on stock battery. This was taking me down to 5-10% and was before the latest RC firmware update. In my opinion there is no way on earth this is possible with stock battery. The video is well dodgy to!!

Meta4 your inability to articulate your argument without being insulting undermines your credentials. Leave them alone - it's not pretty reading. My evidence comes not just from this poll but my own personal experience firsthand. You keep speculating to the contrary but you have not backed...

It's getting boring now. Read the post you're commenting on. Stats come from official DJI forum. If you can find any official surveys that contradict this - feel free to post...

Could be - I read that article. My opinion is that the bit rate has been reduced to improve reception/range. The thing is I was using the channel hack so I already had the bit rate down to the minimum. As discussed earlier I'm going to buy a second controller with the old RC firmware so I can do...

Also meta4 you still haven't said where DJI acknowledge the shell cracking problem - do you know something we don't?

1 in 3 failures is not a small proportion. It's a huge one. With so many posts comparing to cars, let me do the same. If you brought you're shinny new motor and found an incredibly high amount were failing due to chassis cracks would you wait until yours failed before you took it to the...

Hi thanks - I have a windsurfer and yes able to go out 6.5k before latest RC upgrade. Now struggle to get past 4.5k hence the question. Any simple mods to improve the reception on the phantom itself?

You're missing the point. It's not rocket science. Spock doesn't want the motors for free, he just wants a reliable safe product. He shouldn't have to 'fix it himself'. If DJI had admitted the new spec was down to shell cracks as is the only logical conclusion chances are everyone cussing him...

Yes the range is fab stock, I have a windsurfer and was getting 6.5k out before upgrade now unfortunately 4k is max. Still excellent, just a shame if your used to more.

How far have you gone out? Have you taken it all the way to loss of reception?
