    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    Hi Ian, after you mad me aware of this issue today when you commented on my "go-home crash" posting, I decided test my P2 tonight when I got home from work. I have this same TBE as you all have. In fact I have it pretty bad. It gets better as the flight goes on. I tried a compass...

    RTH crashed my P2

    Yes, that right, I lost both, you have to understand the local terrain I guess, There was a huge hill and a pile of houses and trees between me and the P2 once I went around that point on the lake, there was no way the 2.4 Ghz signal can curve around that, I did fly over a kilometer PAST...

    RTH crashed my P2

    Thats exactly what I did as soon as i lost Video FPV reception, but unfortunately, I lost radio communication at the same time I lost FPV communication, so the 20 seconds of me giving it a pile of altitude did nothing, as it was already in "go home" mode. I was wondering why my video didn't...

    Auto "return to home" Crash

    Thanks for the info guys. Yeah those trees are Douglas Fir, and they are huge trees here in BC, Canada. I got lucky for sure that I even found the P2, and that damage was minimal, I cringe every time I watch it. :cry: Slow motion was cool though, you get to see how many times it...

    Auto "return to home" Crash

    I know UGhhhh. I got a sick feeling when my FPV screen went "snowy" and lost the dignal, I did however still have audio, and I heard the crash on my TV. I thought to myself, its gone now, and my wife is going to kill me lol. However, I did find it in under 5 minutes. Only...

    RTH crashed my P2

    Well, this was only my 5th FPV flight and I got too comfortable flying around terrain, I flew too low and went around a point on a lake, losing reception with my stock radio, the video shows what happened. The landowner next door to this was pissed too, accused me spying on her...

    I got an idea

    yes, thats what I'm talking about. Why doesnt DJI do this? Do they want happy customers? or are we just supposed to but a new Pahntom in the event of a lost aircraft?

    I got an idea

    So, with regards to flying the Phantom platform in POV with iOSD, I was thinking.......the phantom has onboard GPS right? so, it always knows its co-ordinates of where it is, I read on all these forums that its a problem finding your aircraft in the case of a crash or flyaway, because you have...

    9.2 km (5.8 miles) flight ! Yeaaaahhh!

    Impressive, as someone looking for a good FPV setup, this one just made my short list. Have you tried the recievers built into your Black Pearl screen, instead of your ImmersionRC 5800Duo diversity RX? is there any diference in range of video transmission?

    Flashing Green LEDs

    while in Naza mode, I thought the first set of fast flasing green lights meant course lock is now recorded, and the 2nd set of fast flashing green lights means you now have sufficient GPS signals and that HOME position was recorded
