    Stuck on Vertical Calibration, Phantom won't start

    How are you trying to start, my Phantom will only start with both control levers on the TX pulled to the bottom and either to corners near each other or both far apart. eg., 7 o'clock and 5 o'clock or reverse. Hope this helps.....

    Battery voltage setting?

    My settings are 11.60 and 11.20, get around 9-10 minutes flying time.

    New Software and Firmware?

    Strange, received my Phantom today, back from a repair by supplier, who took the initiative of updating the firmware etc. And all I can say is Brilliant! Throttle normal as before, start motors by holding both sticks down to one side, the a steady but firm increase in throttle, result a very...

    Can't unscrew = screwed?

    If you are using a 2 mm hex key the tolerance could be too small, try a 5/64" if poss.

    Finally a working Phantom

    Tried on five PCs running Win7 64-bit/32-bit, XP both flavours, and even an old 98'er, none would connect. Then the dealer also could not connect it. A refund looks like my last resort, though I prefer to give those concerned a fair chance. Though at my age (83) I just hope I live long enough to...

    Finally a working Phantom

    I agree with the last two posts, as my Phantom would not connect to any PC, and I could not invoke IOC. Returned it to dealer who also could not use the USB connection, and after over five weeks I'm still waiting for a fully working Phantom. Dealer says it is DJI holding them up, being very slow...

    Naza USB not working.

    Mine never worked from day one, and it has been away for over five weeks now, dealer says that dji are holding them up with very slow response. And no idea how soon they will respond.

    Retired Combat Photographer new to multi-rotor

    Hi Wes, welcome to the forum. I also have the MQX, was my first ever RC flyer, bought to understand and get experience of quad control, as I wanted to get a Phantom. I got the Phantom, and after reading the instructions and following them, I started flying it. Surprised by the ease and response...

    Phantom + DX6i

    I have a DX6i and asked the same questions. You need to change the RX in the Phantom to the relevant Spektrum one, and then Bind them. My dealer offered to do it, but would need my DX6i, so he could do the binding, which has to be done before re-assembling the Phantom body. Have not decided at...

    Fragile USB?

    Bought my Phantom 10 weeks ago, and from the start would never connect to my PC and Laptop, two weeks ago after repeatedly being told it was a user error, I returned it. I am still waiting to hear whether it has been cured. :!: :?:

    High Altitude video

    I think we need to keep quiet on these heights attained, as I believe the legal allowed height in the UK is only 400ft. And I don't like this anymore than anyone else, but I have been a Kite Flyer for many years, and without getting special permission, the max legal height for a Kite on lines is...

    ActionPro CM-7200

    I have just bought an AEE SD19, and the specs look almost identical, except lens is f2.8 and zoom 5x. Hoping to fly it soon. Have taken some handheld shots as tests, and seem to be good for the price. UK £159.99p.

    Wi-Fi on Hero making Phantoms disappear?

    Received my AEE SD19 today, no time to fly with it. But reading the spec. The Wifi is on 2.8ghz, so hopefully this may be safe to use in flight. Though considering the claimed range (15M) will only be of use for starting video while in close range.

    Cameras other than GoPro

    Just checked the RC Logger site, and the specs state 500 gm weight, a tad heavy for a Phantom. Really need to keep around the 200 gm or less mark. The AEE SD19 arrived this afternoon, a mite too late for a flight trial. But playing around indoors using in hand seems able to do a job, though at...
