    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    So mine went back to dji, they said they fixed it (changed the flight controller), did a test flight on a tether and it flew great. Right out of the box from the repair it flew the infamous j-hook. I called and they said send video. I sent video. This is the response if received...

    Did dji fix the problem? Nope. Still J-hooks for the first 10 minutes. The straightens out. Very disappointing.

    Just posted in your thread. J-hook for sure in this case

    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    I have the exact issue. The P2V worked perfectly out of the box in December. Updated the firmware and whammo, it now is doing the j-curve -- identical to the video. I sent it to dronefly because I thought I tweaked a motor when I hit a branch -- not thinking the firmware update would cause the...

    I just sent mine in to dji as well. I just want her to fly like she used too!!

    She won't hover like she used to...

    However, mine didn't do this when I got it in December. But, now it does exactly what the one in the video did. And yes, I have done the advanced IMU. No change. Lots of satellites. Calibrated compass. Calibrated controls. Still drifts, but only for the first five minutes of flight. What would...

    She won't hover like she used to...

    So, I sent mine to dronefly.com and they said my compass was bad... they replaced it. I took it out of the box and did a fast, straight flight down my street. Stopped abruptly, and it veered left about 15 feet (just like before I sent it down there). I kept on flying it and this problem went...

    She won't hover like she used to...

    Now I am very frustrated. I was changing the motor and messed up the circuit board next to the motor. Oh well, I want it fixed back to new so I boxed it up and sent it to dronefly.com to have some professionals fix it. Tried it tonight and it is doing the same exact thing (if you fly straight...

    First, thanks for the compliments on the video, more to come! Second, turns out it is a bad motor. I have all new props and it still isn't flying right. Then, when the engines are idling after startup, one motor is surging a bit. New one is on the way! It will be back in the air soon!

    Video from my first weekend with the Phantom 2 Vision

    Yes... I actually saw them do that on Gold Rush: The Dirt when they were showing how they did their intro sequence shots using a hexacopter.

    Video from my first weekend with the Phantom 2 Vision

    So I made a short edit from my first weekend with my new phantom 2 vision. Man, I love this thing... the possibilities are endless! Here is the video: http://vimeo.com/83265711

    updated firmware, and now it drifts left

    This is the phantom 2 vision. Does that change anything?

    updated firmware, and now it drifts left

    I updated the firmware, now it hovers in a 10ft. radius circle. Plus, if you fly it in a straight line, it drifts to the left about 15ft. when you stop. I re-calibrated via the software, but the problem still exists. Any thoughts?

    She won't hover like she used to...

    So I swapped the front left for the rear right and it still behaves the exact way. That worries me a bit. Any thoughts now? I can't even land it without having the steer to the side a bit to keep it from drifting. Forgot to mention. I did update the firmware to the latest version this...
