Hey Jason, I responded to your message, but I was gone most of the day. If you are still interested in helping let me know and I will work out some time to talk with you about it. Thanks again for the assist. Cheers, Howie

Jason, I connected the remote a couple of months ago and was unable to get it to work. I contacted DJI and they have been no help. I don't have enough info to use the software, and I'm not sure I still have the software at all. I don't remember much about all of that since I had a surgery since...

Thanks. I think that is what happened. Since I am unable to contact anyone in my area for assistance I will try and locate a compass and see if that helps. Thanks to all for the assistance.

Hi, I think maybe replacing the compass might be the way to go. I never even considered that option. Others as well as DJI kept saying to demagnetize but use software program as well. I will see how much a compass is. Thanks. Howie P.S. I can't seem to locate anyone in my area who knows the...

Thanks for the responses. I took it to a clear field pretty much in the middle of nowhere and it only calibrated in the horizontal. When I first got the Phantom last year it calibrated fine, however I was worried about the small landing gear, so I purchased larger gear and removed and...

Hi, sorry to confuse, however here is what I know. In step 6 of the DJI Quick Start Guide where it addresses calibrating the compass here is what is happening. When I rotate the Phantom horizontally, the green lights come on. However when I rotate it vertically the yellow'red lights flash...

Hi, I'm using a Mac, but I have a PC laptop. I took the Phantom 2 out today in an open field to try and calibrate. It does calibrate in the horizontal plane, but not in the vertical. I had originally thought the Phantom wouldn't fly if it wouldn't calibrate, however that is not the case. I flew...

Hi Jason, I haven't taken the Phantom out with a magnet yet, however I have already connected it to my laptop trying to access the software that DJI told me to use before I used the magnet. I wasn't able to get that software to work properly, so I don't even know where I am in the process of...

Are there any experienced Phantom 2 flyers in the Corpus Christi area? I sure could use some help. Thanks. Howie

Hi and thanks for the info and video. I was told by DJI that I needed to get a magnet and go into an open field and magnetize the compass to a certain value. But first I was told I had to download software and connect the transmitter and then the Phantom to update the software. I really don't...

N017RW is correct. The compass will only fit one way, which I have done. I now just need to have it calibrated so it can fly again, and that is my downfall. I am not having any success with the software on my laptop, and my main computer is an Apple, so things aren't going as I would like them...

I apologize. I haven't done anything with the Phantom in awhile. I removed the compass on the one landing skid, and the other module on the other skid. I have not installed anything other than a set of carbon landing gear, and they have since been removed and the stock landing gear is back in...

Hi to all, I have owned my Phantom 2 for a bit over a year now, however it has flown a total of about 2.5 minutes. I first flew it in my backyard, and didn't want to venture off too far as the wind was pretty swift. This is the reason I decided on upgrading the landing gear. I decided I wanted...

Hi to all, I recently purchased a Phantom 2 and was not happy with the OEM landing gear. I replaced them with a similar type of gear, but found it to be even more flexing, so I decided on a carbon fiber two strut gear. I have read that the compass must be in a very similar position as...
