    Should I send it to DJI or not?

    Hardware: Phantom Vision 2+ with about 9 flights and no crashes Naza mode. I have an earlier post about my problem with not consistently acquiring 6 or more satellites with video on or not and ideal flight field (elevation 6300 feet) with no obstructions. I tried the foil mod which did not...

    Can Phantom V2+ Satellite Sensor Be Changed?

    Search on this form is a little strange! Can anyone point me to a post on how to replace Phantom stock gps with a Naza-m v2 gps.

    Can Phantom V2+ Satellite Sensor Be Changed?

    Has anyone looked into removing the stock sensor from the Phantom V2+ and replacing it with one mounted on the outside like you see on the Flame Wheel? Could this fix the problem with satellite reception so may are experiencing. I know the connector is different but is the outputs from the...

    Satellite count fluxation?

    I used regular house hold foil and did cover the rerouted connector under the original shield. I may try the tape it is much thicker. Thank everyone for your input.

    Satellite count fluxation?

    My first post give the flying environment. I did try the tin foil cover to no avail. But it did pickup signals if I held the cover up a few inches above the phantom. I think the mod maybe bad. How is the DJI support on return to fix problems?

    Satellite count fluxation?

    Update: Just ran a test outside with Phantom and Garmin Montana. The Garmin shows from 8 to 11 satellites with varying strength(all above 50%) but the Phantom signals red red green at 5 and does not change over a few minutes. Does anyone know the requirements on satellite signal strength for...

    Satellite count fluxation?

    I'm not starting or stopping video during flight. Does this happen often at this site and the answer is no but I have only been their three times. As suggested I will take my Garmin with me next time and check for number of satellite, great idea.

    Satellite count fluxation?

    I’m flying the phantom V2+ at about 6500 feet in large open area soccer field and getting funny satellite counts. I will start out with a good satellite count of 7 or more and fly for about 8 minutes then start to see red LED’s. The count will go from 6 to 4, then 6, then 7 or more than 4 back...

    Red LED’s after Compass Calibration?

    Seems to go back to searching again. I will have to pay more attention to what happens after the two red LED's.

    Red LED’s after Compass Calibration?

    Just started to get funny results after compass calibration on my Phantom V2+. At the end of calibration I use to get a few seconds of no LED at all, then what appeared to be green red LED indicating a search for GPS signals. Recently at the end of compass calibration I’m seeing the LED’s...

    Compass calibration: when/how and what sequence?

    Thanks for all the input but the sequence of how to do the calibration is still the question. I do believe to be safe you should calibrate before each First flight in current location. Since my first post on this subject I have talked to people who build all models of DJI and here is their...

    Compass calibration: when/how and what sequence?

    I’m running Phantom V2+ in Naza mode and have a question on compass calibration sequence. Do you start everything up as stated in the manual and immediately do compass calibration, then wait for 6 or more GPS satellites and then fly? Do you start everything up as stated in the manual and...
