    New bird arrived...can't load firmware

    you will like it way more than the standard. I started with the standard and thought i was happy but sold it and bought the Pro, much better, more distance, no video feed chopping all the time.. just seems better. I know you have the advance, but theres not much difference at all between advance...

    Wonder what happened?

    so today, the phantom was taken apart and cleaned good with electronic cleaner and dried out.

    Wonder what happened?

    i dont see anything in either of the posted logs showing signal loss before the crash, but RTH was not initiated. had video signal because that was how we knew it was in a tree.

    Wonder what happened?

    we are in NW Georgia, we thought about that using my phantom, the problem it that it is so tangled into the top of the tree, afraid that the hook will get tangled and then both drones are stuck.. its wedged in pretty good and hanging out over the river. Basically just trying to determine what...
