    Camera SD Card date & Time

    Okay, time for a laugh. When I got my Phantom 2 Vision+ back from the repair shop, I, naturally, made a flight and recorded a video. When I went to view it, I noticed that the date was 12/31/2007 11:02 PM. The flight was made on 8/4/2016 3:30 PM. So, I whipped out the user manual (Some of us...

    App reports "No GPS lock", drone's LEDs slow flash green

    After low battery was reported, "Go Home" was initiated. Drone took a direct path to home, and passed over a 62' tree while flying at 60'. Two prop guards broken, but props okay. Battery was ejected. With a charged battery drone flies fine manually, but when programmed flight is attempted...

    No Gimbal Motor Control

    Yep. It was the first thing I did after getting it back from the repair station. One of the things that needed repair was the USB port used to connect to the vision assistant app. The app indicates the Gimbal Motor is ON, but gives no way (that I know of) to exercise the gimbal motor.

    No Gimbal Motor Control

    I cannot get the camera to move up and down. It simply points straight ahead. When flying at altitude, its nice to point the camera down a bit to see what is close.

    No Gimbal Motor Control

    My Phantom 2 Vision+ has just returned from the "hospital" where the Wi-Fi module was replaced. When the gimbal clamp is removed, the camera droops, usually pointing straight down. When power is applied, the camera "snaps to attention" pointing straight ahead, so the gimbal motor is working...

    Rear LEDs flash RED 4 times then stop

    I can't plug into the assistant. Its the USB plug that goes into the body of the drone, not the USB plug that goes into the camera that doesn't work. I pulled the top cover off (again) and wadda ya know, the GPS antenna was unplugged. I plugged it in, replaced the top cover and tried it. The...

    Rear LEDs flash RED 4 times then stop

    Okay, I went outside and powered up. I got a slow yellow flashing on the LEDs. Just for kicks I went through compass calibration, flipping S1 five times, getting steady yellow and after completing the 360 turn horizontal, I got green LEDs and went into the nose-down 360 turn. The LEDs then...

    Rear LEDs flash RED 4 times then stop

    I've tried different computers and different cables as well as removing and reinstalling the Windows driver and the assistant. The RC software works fine. When the RC is plugged in, I get the two-tone signal the system has recognized the plug-in. No tone is heard when the drone is plugged in...

    Rear LEDs flash RED 4 times then stop

    When attempting to start the drone via a CSC, the rear LEDs flash RED four times, then stop and the motors do not start. The last flight ended with no problems - no crash, no hard landing. The manual's troubleshooting does not list any error code for such a display. Visual inspection shows no...

    Sorry for the omission. I have done the R&R. I've also tried version 3.6 and 3.8 of the Vision Assistant. Thanks for the come back.

    RC Battery life & Vision Assistant connection

    Okay, operating on the theory that there is no shame in being ignorant, just in staying ignorant, I ask a lot of questions. Starting from the beginning: I downloaded, and installed DJI_WIN_Driver_Installer. Just before running the DJI Pahntom2 Vision Assistant, I execute DPInst.exe.The Driver...

    RC Battery life & Vision Assistant connection

    I purchased my Phantom 2 Vision+ in April of 2015. The Remote control and Wi-Fi extender seemed to have a much longer battery life than the drone. Today, however, the RC was charged and the large LED was green before the flight. It lasted about 8 minutes and the RC was beeping and the large...

    Can the Pilot app run on two devices at the same time?

    I started the Litchi app on a Samsung Galaxy Pro tablet and then tried to start the DJI Vision app on a Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone. The smartphone reported "Phantom Connection Broken" repeatedly until the app on the tablet was killed. Then the phone connected just fine. I wanted to show...
