    Cause of Battery Swelling

    I've had my Phantom for almost two years now. I had a third party battery which didn't seem to last long, so I just chalked it up to a bad battery from the local (now out of business) hobby shop. My DJI phantom batteries all seemed to work well, until recently. I noticed all of them seemed to...

    Suddenly..nothing? Transmitter issue?

    I got it all up and running again with firmware updates, calibration, etc. It kept giving me error lights (lots of green blinks) and error 29 message. Got it up and running again but it flies really shaky now, not stable at all. I got a prop balancer, seems like the props are balanced. I did the...

    Grounded Error #29

    I'm in the same boat now. I was getting these errors from the green lights, so tried to re-calibrate, nothing happened. Finally bit the bullet and installed NAZA assist and latest firmware. At first all I got was a lot of noise from the Phantom but once I made sure I had the newest version I...

    The Website, videos and manual are you friends

    It's not that, I mean, I've got no problem admitting that I'm wrong and admitting that the phantom does some stupid shiza for being advertised as "fly right out of the box", it's just, take a minute, take a look at the vids, then come here. That's what I try and do. That being said, still can't...

    The Website, videos and manual are you friends

    I find a lot of the same posts here, similar problems to the ones that I've been having, and find that checking here is a nice place for feedback and tips, but really pouring over the manual and videos is helping me a ton. Some of the issues they mention on the videos and manual don't make any...

    Suddenly..nothing? Transmitter issue?

    Ok, now I'm having the same issues again. Tried to re-calibrate again, this time, nothing. I took the props off to balance them, and I did put them on properly. Took the landing gear off to fit time in a pack, just folded them in, all the wires still connected with tape, still in place. Put...

    Phantom won't respond to controller...

    Open it? Do you mean where the battery is stored, or take it apart?

    Suddenly..nothing? Transmitter issue?

    Yep, exactly, minus the pic, just posting the link in case anybody needed it, have seen it around a lot on these forums. Thanks for the response, took care of it this morning, and found out that the copter doesn't need to be on. Got some night flying in this evening. Thanks again!!

    Suddenly..nothing? Transmitter issue?

    This is the link I found if anybody else has this problem. http://wiki.dji-innovations.com/en/inde ... alibration Does the Phantom have to be on while you're doing this? Nothing says it but maybe it's assumed to be a given?

    Ok, so how do I re-calibrate?

    Suddenly..nothing? Transmitter issue?

    I've seen similar posts so apologies if this is the same issue, but I'm still new to this so I don't know if the other questions answer mine. I flew the Phantom yesterday, got some more flight time in again today and everything flew fine. Take off, compass calibration, etc, all went well and it...
