Nope definitely not.I've done a fair amount of FPV but yes I can see how it does look like that, the rest of the flight I did lots of flyarounds where the ship was facing me and was working fine but this was definitely not responding to my inputs.

No, knowhere near the railings for the main flight, as soon as I got near the railings that is when it started to play up. I'm going to return with a magnetic field detector app and see if that may be the issue.

Nope definitely not that - I checked all the switches as I thought that was possibly the issue as well.

No, I checked my controls and was definitely not in ATTI. Wind was negligible even in ATTI . It may look controlled as I was trying to get a handle on what was happening so taking very slight movements of the control. I can tell you though it was definitely not taking my inputs. like I said with...

Okay I need to know if this issue is the whole compass problem. Here's the scenario with video. Headed down to the river yeserday morning at 6am as with zero winds (5mph) and bright sun thought ideal conditions. Go through normal procedure, full GPS lock, launch and fly no problem. Running...

Re: Phantom 2 flyaway - Ships GPS/TX Interference the cause Compass MOD is currently around 1500 so I 'd think the compass is okay so that only leaves the magnetic hotspot issue which I guess there is no way of knowing. The only substantial area of metal that it came in close proximity to...

Just had my first (and hopefully last) flyaway… Be interested to hear what you guys think if my assessment of the cause is plausible. video as well to support. Headed down to the Thames this morning at 6am as with zero winds (5mph) and bright sun thought ideal conditions. Go through normal...

What is the MTOM (Maximum Take off Mass) of the P2 - I just can't seem to find it anywhere...? Thanks..

I'm in the UK as well so it can't be the True North, compass issue, I also calibrate the compass before each flight.

Thats pretty much what mine is doing. I replaced the motors for antigravity but no discernible difference. DEFINITELY it was locked solid before as I did numerous slow 360 pans on the spot with no drift at all.

Sorry what is the CG ?

Okay I just upgraded the motors to Antigravity and I'm still getting this Yaw drift issue in GPS and Atti mode. The only possible thing I can think of is where I put the IOSD on top of the Can Bus inside the phantom. See attached image. What do you think ? I'll strip it back down and...

So why do they say that one is required on the Q&A on their Z-15 page ? http://www.dji.com/product/zenmuse-z15/faq

I'm looking at getting a new rotor and the Zenmuse for the GH4 when it comes out however I really need a gimbal that can be used handheld as well - I just saw this : http://www.secraft.net/shop/step1.php?n ... 1124115633 However according to the FAQ's on the DJI site : "Can the Zenmuse Gimbal...

DJI should license this. http://www.uasvision.com/2014/03/14/onb ... ithm-demo/
