So, where did his first two misses end up.

You're not going to want to be tossed over the handle bars on this ride.

A very nice demonstration of things possible with the Phantom. If it wasn't the winter from hell here now I would be doing much the same.

The stabilization was outstanding. There had to be some concussion from those fire works.

I bought a used Dell lap top. It was the cheapest and easiest solution for this Mac user.

Very nice.

Re: I need Phantom help in the 60515 area I am up and flying!

I made a number of mistakes setting this thing up. Between yesterday and today I corrected them all. Today I felt lucky to have my first crash with my Phantom. Blade guards saved the day!

I am going back to basics. I am trying to calibrate my transmitter. On page 7 of the advanced manual I'm told that I will get a "Di-DI Di" from the transmitter when I power it on and I do. BUT when I try to do the next step I get no sounds from my transmitter. This manual was written when the...

I'm outside, I'm doing compass calibration. When I flip the switch from gps to at1 10 times, the light on the Phantom goes to steady yellow. Does this confirm that all communication from the transmitter to the copter are working? Also in the DJI Phantom training videos, Colin sets the throttle...

Interesting. Tomorrow I'll do this.

I have been buying from B&H for many years and have always had the best service from them. You're right, they aren't a hobby shop but no hobby shop around here carries the phantom. I'm not pleased with DJI Phantom for sending out product that doesn't work. I believe they are growing faster than...

This could have been written by me. I sent my none flying Phantom back to B&H camera. They said it works fine and sent it back to me. I can't get this thing to take off. The motors test fine but I can't get them all to get up and fly. Running out of ideas 2
