Hey guys,
I had an issue with my phantom a while back where I tried out my new POV system.
It consists of a Phantom 2 & Gopro mounted on the zenmuse 3d...
The FPV was an Immersion RC 5.8ghz transmitter on the phantom, spironet antennas (including the patch antenna), and the black pearl monitor as the receiver...
I copied the set-up from another person's rig so I assumed it had to work for at least one other person.
However when I took it out for the first flight it lost control and wanted to fly away even if I changed the controller out of GPS mode... It just decided to take off in one direction only giving me the ability to adjust altitude... So I had to crash it into the ground in order to prevent it from flying away. The zenmuse was destroyed during that flight... I did a second test without the zenmuse and gopro and the **** thing did it again (this time crashing into a house).
The phantom would follow directional commands for a while but when I would let it hover in one spot it would seem to be doing little circles in place.
Anyways the phantom and zenmuse had to be sent in for repairs. I just got them back today after a couple months.
Can anyone provide me with some steps to ensure this doesn't happen again? I heard I could run tests on the phantom using my computer... Any advice?
Thanks guys!
