Hey great input ukgln. I own phantom twos and build sUavs regularly. My friend Bill is the only person I know that has had this happen (the only guy I know with PH3pro...) so I have not kept up on threads about it. Thanks for letting me know and I will pass this on to Bill. Sent from my...

Hi everybody I'm sure this is posted every so often... A friend launched his PH3Pro. He hovered for under 1 minute. He pushed the photo button as he began to move forward. The drone fell from the sky. Battery was fully charged. I could not comment as to whether the batt was pushed all...

Does anybody here know if when in Atti mode the barometer is keeping altitude or is it the "centering stick" of the throttle/rudder? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I I questioned one joint in one of my PH2 to be "colder" When I was soldering another uav motor with cheapo wiring the heat is critical and has to be distributed perfect and quickly with these thin wires or you brittle them or have a cold joint. That's why I was driving home the point...

With all due respect to your 30 years... I completely agree about the less joints the better, especially since you are assuming the solder joint would be prepared poorly (cold). Having on connection wire to Esc/winding would be a good scenario if the wires were not so thin and of a brittle...

I hope one of these companies produces new motors. The way these cheapo motors/leads are setup is ludicrous. Anybody that has seen a quality brushless motor system knows that the motor windings should end at a solid wiring block, where better/thicker gauge/flexible wires can be soldered to...

How long has the v3 been out? It's been two months now?

Frank deserves the replacement ! Reading over these crash posts really helps to get some insight to how these phantoms operate and causes of failure. Thanks so much for sharing ! What goes up must come down-and it ain't always pretty or cheap! Gravity gets everybody eventually. Thanks...

Re: Another one bites the dust -UPDATE- found it!! - Page 5 The black joint looks "cold".

Re: Another one bites the dust -UPDATE- found it!! - Page 5 After soldering wires that thin the wires are only as strong (and as brittle) as the solder. Makes sense that the yellow wire parted where it did- at the point where the solder is thinnest as it was traveling up the wire. When I was...

Re: Another one bites the dust -UPDATE- found it!! - Page 5 Sorry to hear of the carnage around here. I've been using phantom 2s for a few months. Built a couple before that. I used motors from rctimer. I've been running rc cars for a loooong time and have never seen THIS cheap /small...

So far phantom 2 has been great.

Have you had trouble ? What seem to be the problems?

what is going on about the new firmware upgrade release. are people experiencing problems after they flash new firmware?

I did not use the hub with a gopro /h3-3d setup. I may have done something wrong but it seems to work fine. This could be because I installed the ground station as well.
