Faster, less congested satellite broadband is supposed to be coming very soon for the UK. We install SBB systems in Wales and have many people with the same problem as you have. The planned 'roll out' for the SBB included this upgrade, and the previous ones, but I think they didn't correctly...

No, you are correct, the camera is fixed in a landscape orientation. You get a lot in with the fish-eye lens though.

I made a little video if you are interested... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNACvxAaGVI

Birdeyedrone are you around Conwy or was it just a day trip? I am in Llanrwst if you fancy meeting up for a fly around some day.

Not been flying for long, but I wanted to share my collection so far with you. Images are a bit big for this forum, so here is the link to my album... http://imgur.com/a/FNUNH#0 Small preview of my favourite so far... More to come!

I was trying to find a way to answer this without stating the obvious or sounding like I am being condescending, but I don't think I have succeeded so forgive me, that is not my intention!... If it is highly reflective and looks like metal, then it is metallic. If it is just a gloss plastic...

This is the one I bought... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171329799440? ... EBIDX%3AIT Just vinyl cut outs. It was actually very easy to fit using a hairdryer and I'm sure if I had ordered a non-metallic one it would still be on there!

I had exactly the same problem out of the box on my Vision+ V3. It took me a while to figure out by reading forums but after I had used the RC assistant software to calibrate the X1 channel of the remote I had no problem. Works beautifully now. Calibrate the sticks and move the gimbal at the...

Caution - Do NOT buy a metallic wrap! I bought a metallic gold one from eBay. It looked really nice... but I couldn't get ANY satellite lock on the GPS. As soon as I took it off my GPS lock came back. A bit of a "well duh!" moment when I realised! The gold stripes are still on though and look...

Re: Battery level inconsistency between assistant and Vision Ah that's a shame, I'm leaving for London Saturday morning for 10 days. Won't be taking the Phantom anywhere near Heathrow though! :-) Send me a message if you are over this way again. After London I'm around until I go back to work...

Re: Battery level inconsistency between assistant and Vision Well, in case anyone has this problem in the future, I managed to fix it! I discovered that the smallest of the three plugs that clip into the top of the camera gimbal had broken and the 4 small grey cables had come loose. It was...

Re: Battery level inconsistency between assistant and Vision Update : I took the Phantom outside this morning and powered her up. After 30 seconds or so she had GPS lock and the LED's were flashing slow green. BUT... The Vision app reported zero satellites and the radar had the phantom right...

I have searched through the forum and can't find this problem, but there are a LOT of topics so I apologise if this has been covered before... I have a Vision+ v3.0. I crashed my Phantom the other day into a tree. It dropped about 15ft and landed in a soft bush. The first thing I checked was...

I am just a newbie to the Phantom world but already personal experience has taught me that the problem you are describing is a burnt out ESC board. I think if you watch the LED's carefully when you power up the phantom you will see one flash VERY briefly and this is the leg you need to change...
