I would take everything apart, and seal what parts you can with loads of rice in some tupperware closed tight. Do not get tempted to try it out earlier than a week after you have put it in there, and even then I would use extreme EXTREME caution because there is no telling what it will do. My...

I am still waiting for it to be returned. They have had it for a couple of months now, my supplier said there was nothing they could do to replace the go pro as it is in their terms and conditions- however go pro themselves offered me 40% off a new hero3+ black, so I took them up on the offer...

The phantom has been sent back to dji for them to repair it, I am waiting to hear back if I can get any help getting a new gopro.

Thanks for your help. I wasn't descending at the time, in fact I wasn't even moving it- when it freaked out I instinctively hit up but it did not respond. My gopro had the gopro logo on the screen this morning when I tried the battery in it but nothing else. So it's an improvement, but I'm not...

I have been thinking long and hard since it happened... The pond is fed by a stream that is orange, so I think it is rich in iron. Do you think that this could affect the compass somehow? I can't imagine it would be strong enough but maybe one of you has experienced something like this?

I had done the most recent update yes, but like I said it wasn't my first flight of the day with that software... Strange... The battery was full. I just now managed a small test flight- stable hover, full range of motion, landed, I powered down. Then it wouldn't let me power up the motors...

Also the gopro is dead... I am hoping a few days in a box of rice will sort that out. Randomly I just tried the phantom again and its working once more! I am going to screw the top back on quickly and see if I can get it airborne! Does anyone have experience of why it might have freaked out...

Yes, I recalibrated the compass. I try to make a habit of doing it quite regularly. I had already been on three other flights on the day of the incident.. The motors originally did spin up this morning but now they won't. All I am getting when I point the sticks inward and down is the two red...

Hi guys, I am new here so apologies if this has been brought up before! I am flying (or was flying!) a Phantom 2, H3-3D gimbal with a gopro hero 3 black. Yesterday I had my first Phantom freak out... unfortunately it was over a pond at the time, the phantom violently went from side to side...
