Hi Guys,
First post.. I have had a Phantom 2 with a HD-3D for a few weeks now and all seems OK.. What is worrying me is the battery issue lots of people keep mentioning and posting videos on YouTube about. With a GoPro dangling from it, the Phantom is a pricey bit of kit to be putting into the Sky. Lets face it, the battery is the single thing that you put the life of the Phantom and its payload in its hands, that fails and you are likely to be a bit unhappy.
I have read almost everything I can related to the issue and am none the wiser nor less worried about flying it further that arms length. One thing I did come across regarding auto-land issues was this:
https://www.dji.com/info/releases/dji-r ... m-2-vision - More so the section that says - "A new level of protection is a hidden third low battery threshold in addition to the 1st and 2nd level warnings. This uses 10.65V as its threshold. Both this voltage threshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto-landing. Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pulling up on the throttle."
Could some of these issues be because of this 10.65v go home feature ( instead of just a beeping happening or lights flashing )?
Enough waffling, I guess I like us all will just need to take the gamble every time we fly the Phantom until someone comes about with a proper answer.
Oh, and here is my first video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjz-QGHANgI
