I'm sure this has been asked before on here but i couldnt really find anything. I have the latest phantom 2 with hd-3d gimbal and an fpv set up and havent updated the firmware in it. Still currently at the first firmware so I dont have any restrictions as far as being near airports and what not.
My main question is if any of the updates have any fly away fixes or anything I should have to keep this thing more reliable in the air. My biggest concern with this thing is it taking off on its own and crashing into someone or someones property and doing some damage. I do a bit a filming in the city and just dont want to hurt anyone. All the fly away stories have me a bit concerned. I have flown mine a good 50+ times without any issues or weird behavior (knock on wood).
I know DJI mentioned something about if the phantom takes off in a fly away after 10 secs it should know that it isnt a human controlling it and it will go into failsafe mode. Does this feature actually work and does it need the new firmware to be activated? or is it programed into all the new phantoms?
Also are people having just as many issues with fly aways on the new phantoms or was this just a bigger issue on the older models?
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
