I have found for my area that this satellite prediction website (http://satpredictor.navcomtech.com) (flash required) is pretty spot on. Usually within + or - 1 of the Sats I am able to lock onto. Fortunately, there are only a couple times a day in my neck of the woods, where the coverage is...
You are braver than me..... 600' up and 3,600' out with only 7 Sats is treading on thin ice. I always fly in close proximity whenever I have marginal Sat coverage (8 or less). I believe that sudden loss of Sat coverage when flying out of visual range is one of the biggest challenges Phantom...
I am pretty sure the switch you need to be flicking to reset your HP is the S2 switch and not the S1. I have a very hard time getting that to work for me, so maybe it is the S1 switch, but I think it is the S2 one. Flicking the S1 switch will put the bird into compass calibration mode, which...
Yes, I too am sorry to hear about your fly away. Since I am color blind, I am very dependent on the DJI App readings to tell me my home point has been established. If I happen to be able to even see the flashing lights in the bright sun light of the day, I will occasionally see the fast...
Maybe it is just me, but I would be more concerned in the condition of the quad copter. If the battery is in that bad a shape, it might be interesting to see some pics of the bird itself. Sorry about your crash.

Yes dannytroy, when I got home and watched the iRec video on my iPhone, I decided to check the http://satpredictor.navcomtech.com/ website, which was showing a day low of 6 Sats for the time and area I was flying in. I have found...
Re: Sudden Loss of Satellites below 6 got my heart beating f
Yes, me too Geert! Appreciate your response.
That is so true Madhak! I have posted before that I wish DJI would provide and audible alert anytime you fall below 6 Sats and become at the mercy of the wind. I would have instantly...
I just wanted to share my experience and lessons learned from the other evening, Then I experienced what happens when your Phantom Vision 2+ unexpectedly drops below 6 satellites when over 1,200 feet down range. I was flying in NAZA mode and had a confirmed home point set, which I verified in...
