    Esc Error - Led Flash red 4 times

    Extra beeps and flashing here as well. It's a common occurrence after changing ESC. I just think of it as a battle scar :)

    Motor spinning slow after replacing ESC

    I also have the extra beeps after a single ESC replacement. I've not noticed any difference in idle speed. All 4 ESC have different numbered stickers.

    Phantom 2 Vision Plus New Shell Replacement

    Great to hear. My pair of right angle tweezers helped though a pair of Chinese hands would have been better. Make sure you check the tightness of the shell screws after a few flights.

    My close call with a water fall and some trees on a job yesterday. I had 4 successful passes before this one but was trying for the perfect shot. I only had 2 sat's and gave it to much stick. http://vimeo.com/105646999

    Camera unreal phenomenon

    I agree your problem is different than mine in how it came about though I would think it's a similar problem regarding the sensors reading a to high value in relation to the resistance load.
