    Lets talk gimbals

    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. Nik

    Goodluckbuy Gimbal Setup Help

    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...

    Fragile USB?

    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. Nik

    3.12 Software update (Problem)

    Same here, very trying to stand and stare at the blinking yellow lights for nearly 3 minutes. Wonder how much the battery drain is while the yellow lights are blinking? I hate to lose any more flying time. Flying great once the Phantom gets off the ground. Nik

    Phantom DOA what would Tim do?

    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...

    Phantom DOA what would Tim do?

    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...

    Phantom DOA what would Tim do?

    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...
