I figured out what was causing my vertical twitch. Here's how I fixed it: http://youtu.be/6MmoqGoZyMM http://youtu.be/6MmoqGoZyMM <--- not sure why that doesn't work here.

Well, that's not what I wanted to hear. Mine is doing the same thing: http://youtu.be/g-3bCll-n6U I am using the FPV Plug and Play Adapter from KumbaCam and their instructions said to not use the anti-interference board, so the flight in the video was without it. I've since installed it. I'm...

Ok, that's interesting, but what does it mean? The phantom flies. Why should I care which version of ESC it's running? As long as the phantom carries the weight of my gimbal and gopro, I think I'm good.

In the photo above, the ESC on the bottom is the broken one that came out of my Phantom 2. The one on top is from Amazon. Note the higher serial number and "2.0" markings. You're telling me the ESC on top is running an older firmware?

What's the difference, practically?

It worked. ;)

PART 3 of the series: http://youtu.be/FoQVgofwTsg I incorporated a few of the suggestions from here and deliberately ignored others to see what would happen. It's a little long, but check it out. The new ESC boards say "2.0". The old ones didn't. They look like they have a higher release number...

I know crashes = damage, but that's physical damage. Electronics should not fail electrically because a motor stops. I'm a software engineer, not a hardware engineer, but I know that's poor design. We should design new ESC boards that do not fail in this condition. I've decided I'm going to...

I bet I blew the ESC board: http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-DJI-Phant ... B00K456LIG Why do these things blow in a crash? Seems like a poor design.

Hello, One of my motors stutters, but won't spin after a crash. The other three spin up. After googling, I thought maybe the motor itself was bad, so I bought a new one from amazon and soldered it in. Unfortunately, the new motor (which BTW, does not look identical - different thickness and...

So, I just got a gopro 4 black with FPV and a phantom II. Totally having a blast with the initial flights. This is really cool. I wanted to post some videos on Youtube, but I see the FAA giving a stern "talking to" to videographers of Lollapalooza, Arkansas Tornado, etc. No mention of fines...
