Following up on my initial problem, I ordered a replacement P4P V2.0 from Amazon which just showed up. I ran two full batteries through it without a hiccup so it definitely appears the first Phantom I received directly from DJI had some issues. Hopefully from here on out things run smoothly.

It will be going back for sure at this point. I went to two other locations, both of which I know many people fly at and had the same issue with the signal working fine until 5-7 minutes into the flight. Then the thing is completely uncontrollable and the video feed drops out. This is the...

It was bought directly from DJI. I will test in a few other locations as well as at different outside temperatures to see if I can narrow down the problem any further. I have used 5.8ghz in auto without any change. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this only for the video portion of the feed...

If there was major interference wouldn't it be present throughout the flight though? It seems rather coincidental that the signal strength is good for the first half of each flight then drops dramatically. It also remains poor even once the Phantom is just a few feet away. I just flew another...

I didn't get a flight in last night but did one this morning...Everything worked great until about 7 minutes into the flight when I virtually lost all control again. This was also the case the previous times I have flown around my house. I decided to upload my data to airdata.com to see if I...

Thanks for the comments...I went out to the middle of nowhere this morning and didn't have any issues whatsoever with control or video signal interference and was able to travel plenty of distance. Came back home and fired up the Phantom in the living room (props were off) and it seemed to...

I'm on day two of owning a new P4P v2.0 and am about to return it due to the horrible range I am getting out of it. The first day I could barely get it off the ground in my backyard (a 50ftx50ft grass area) because the signal seemed to be dropping out so bad. I live in a suburb of Phoenix so it...
