    My Phantom Went R.I.P. in the Ocean Today...

    Just an FYI.........I have a couple of times salvaged corrupt video files by using a video conversion software and converting the file to a different format. The particular software was called "Prism video file converter" Downloaded it for free if I remember correctly. Did you happen to save the...

    Red Rock Open Space - Colorado

    Vey nice work!! I'm jealous. I have always wondered what was back there and have been wanting to explore that area by foot and after getting the quad figured it would be a fun place to fly/shoot. You beat me to it!! I saw some nice video shot in Cripple Creek I have a hunch you were on the...

    My Phantom is due back from DJI repair this week. If everything checks out OK, I wouldn't mine getting together to fly sometime. It would be interesting to see some "other" Quad platforms just to compare. Hopefully the weather will hold out for a while. :) Jim

    Bizarre Phantom 2 crash

    Hi All, I wanted to pass along an update as to the status of my Phantom 2. The DJI repair team I feel did an amazing job in the repair of the Phantom and in record time. They received it on a Thursday and I just got it back the following Friday. An 8 day turn around time when I was expecting...

    Bizarre Phantom 2 crash

    Not only that Steve, but both those frames show the LED's were off. Bluegrass: Those frame shots were from the GoPro video that "Did" continue to record and the window on the lower right was from the FPV video Tx that died when it lost power due to the alleged bad solder joint. I tried to post...

    Bizarre Phantom 2 crash

    Thanks for your input, I think I have to agree with you. Nothing else I could find appears to be wrong that would cause total loss of power. I have tried to make contact with the original dealer as DJI requests.... So far no response from them so I guess I will take the next step and give DJI a...

    Bizarre Phantom 2 crash

    Update: I started taking pictures of the damage from all angles and then slowly removed the top of the shell so I could carefully work the battery out to store in an ammo box to be on the safe side. After successfully getting the battery out I started to check all the connectors and wiring...

    Bizarre Phantom 2 crash

    Thanks 4wd and ianwood for the responses. Barely slept a wink last night trying to figure out what happened. That does make sense that if the battery self ejected or shut down all the motors would have stopped at the same time launching the props simultaneously. It is hard to visualize how the...

    Bizarre Phantom 2 crash

    Has anyone ever had all 4 props spin off in mid flight? Went for a late afternoon flight today and after reaching my 1900 M distance limit I rotated 90 degrees to the right and then began the trip home flying sideways to film a new subdivision. After about 50 meters or so my FPV video went to...

    David, We came across Multicopter warehouse in Castle Rock. They are DJI dealers and seem to be pretty dialed in on these quads. I am brand new to the forum and fairly new to these Phantom quads. Live in the Widefield/Security area. Jim
