Hi everyone, I just bought a phantom package with zen muse gimbal for my photography business. When I got my phantom and flew it for the first time, even though the lights showed I had perfect gps reception and everything was ok the phantom would not hover. It would take off and slowly drift to the side while accelerating and losing altitude until it crashed. In atti mode I could get it to hover straight with little correction.
The dealer I bought the kit from is insisting that it's my inexperience that is the culprit and I say that the phantom is not acting as it should out of the box.
Long story short, the phantom is all banged up now with out getting as much as 10 seconds of controllable flight out of it. I noticed that when they put the phantom together, they mounted the compass module on the wrong leg (Dji support said it should be under motor 4 and it was installed under motor 3).
Does anyone have any experience or insight as to what can happen with the compass on the wrong leg? I'm trying to get the dealer (which happens not to be an official DJi dealer) to take responsibility for the botched installation and refund my money.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
