Ok so I've been getting in some flight time. Totally stripped. No camera no nothing. Still wants to tilt a tad when trying to take off and doesnt take off as fast as my friends. Also it doesnt give me hardly any notice the battery is done. It just starts flashing red none stop. Barely got it back this evening. But it did come back fast and landed about 2-3 feet from original take off but in a bird of paradise plant. Soft landing for what it was. SHould I reprogram the software and see if that changes anything since I have not done that since I bought it? or do I have other issues?
 
You most definitely will want to make sure that your firmware is all up to date, and perform all the calibration routines. Make sure your Phantom is dead still and perfectly level. During calibration THAT is when "level" of all axis are set in the mind of the flight computer.

Start there. if you continue to have problems, let us know. BTW, which version Phantom do you have??

Re: Problem switching from CE to FCC mode

RickD said:
I just received my new P2V and have flown it once. Way cool! I have watched most of the How To videos. I am having problems switching from CE to FCC mode. I am using the provided flathead screw driver and inserting into the bottom adjustment hole on the back of the controller. It seems to be turning the adjustment screw (clockwise) but it never comes to a stop. Per the video, when you turn on the controller you should get one beep for CE and two for FCC. I only get one beep. Anyone else have this issue?


use the assistant software to try and change modes .... CE->> FCC
 
Hi,

I bought a used P330 Phantom and the GPS does not work. The gentleman that sold it to me that he was attempting to up-load an up-grade and now it does not work in GPS. It does not connect to the satellites.This also means no fail-safe. Please help if you can. Old man and tech challenged.


thanks
 
Hi Guys . .

I've just purchased a Phantom 1 Ver 1.11 for my Son, it flys perfectly, but, the Take off is really very Slow, it looks like it's not gonna make it, it nearly topples over. I have done a full recalibration with the latest software and it has made no difference whatsoever.

Once it's in the air if flys 100% OK, it's just the Take Off Problem

I have a Phantom 1, and I have just purchased a Phantom 2 Combo (awesome) and they both take off, No Problem

Anybody got a clue ?

Cheers . .
 
Why doesn't the video I just took show up on my card index. Also on my iPad screen it say user access denied when I try to view it.

Definitely cannot take off a Phantom 1.1 slowly.
You've got to go all in at once. That's what DJI told me when I had my first Phantom!
The craft itself should be fine, it's just it's build.

Can you send some pictures of what the inside looks like?
Maybe the Naza is wired wrong, but I need a little more info to go off.

Have you tried throwing the card in an reader on your computer?
There might be settings you can change within the app to save and or transfer images from the card within the vision to your phone/tablet.

Hi Adam
After a violent crash my Phantom Vision is flying ,all the controls are working but the WiFi connection to my I phone seems to be broken.When I am touching the Camera image on the I phone I am getting the message :" connect to Phantom 2 Visinon failed "
all the switches are "on" at the back of the camera .
Is there a way to find out what is wrong ? I would hate to chuck out my hard earned $1300....... paid for the Vision.
Any suggestion is welcome and highly appreciated !

Hello All
After the crash of my Phantom Vision I have found the following. Because the connection between the controller and the craft was lost during the flight there was no GPS no Wi-Fi and the result is a flying toy without Photo or Video capabilities.! (for $1300 ?)!

Phantom 2 Vision External Camera Cable (DJI-Parts-P2-S03) = USD $8.90

This cable is the culprit. Every time the Vision is turned on the Camera takes up a down way looking position squashing the cable . It is a fairly rigid cable and after repeated on and offs it breaks and we end up with an unstable connection! I have tested the electrical output and it is like “Now you see it ,now you don't”.
This is not an expensive part :
DJI-Parts-P2-S03) = USD $8.90
But to replace it you must pull the Vision apart and it is not that simple.
I do hope DJI will come up with a solution and rectify this more than annoying problem!!!
Cheers

Re: New guy help!!

Brand New Owner of Phantom 2 with gimbal. 1st timer. Following set up instructions out of box. turn on my remote then quad. I get continued flashing slow yellow. Switch the s1 switch over 5 times, still same result. Also every 30 seconds or so, the gimbal moves on its own. Thanks

I have a Phantom one with a 2 axis brushless gimbal. I've got it mounted and wanted to have pitch control. So I mounted a DJI lever on the back. My issue is that when powered up the gimbal responds to movements of the heli, but when I move the switch nothing happens. I calibrated the controller with the software and the switch is active and working, but he gimbal does not respond. I have the white lead wire running from the top pin on the gimbal pitch control board, it's run to the bottom pin on F2. Any thoughts that might help be gain control? Everything on the control side, according to the software is active. The gimbal adjust to movements, but not from the control pitch lever on the back?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
