I was using the GoodLuckBuy $109 gimbal. I worked great right out of the box until I attached the pitch control to NAZA. It worked for about 10 minutes then it bricked. I tried for a better part of a day to fix it to no avail. Looking for different replacement that I can program.

I also flew my GoodLuckBuy Gimbal straight out of the box. This is sample of my second test. I am very pleased with quality. I did connect the power to the balance line which also power my fvp transmitter. Once I am able to modify the TX I would like to connect the pitch control. Could someone...
A new Phantom, open up and check connection. That would make a case for returning a new product unmolested difficult. I did stick a long narrow wood dowel entering from the battery door and pressed down on the cable. Didn't work.

I the process of setting up the Phantom every thing was going find until I was installing the props. One of the motor shafts was smaller in diameter than the other three. WTF! I...
From the selling dealer after I sent the DOA Phantom back:
Not acceptable to me.
The dealer is sold out and does not know when his next shipment is due so I am getting a refund. Now I am shopping for a new Phantom or maybe some different. (HT-450 Quad RTF with DJI Naza). Or maybe I should...
Thanks for the come backs. I am leaning toward having the dealer repair the Phantom. On the positive side their tech will repair the unit, do a systems check and return it to me in operating condition.(?) I am guessing it will be a few weeks before I see it again.
As for running the Naza...
New here, first posting. I have been lurking here for a couple of months and decided to jump in a buy Phantom. My new Phantom arrived a couple of days ago. My very first attempt at flying was a dud. The Phantom just sat on the ground after it went though its ICU check. The Phantom then gave the...
