do you use genuine batteries only ?
and here is my first fireworks attempt. shots from the drone and the ground with a hero3 and phantom 2
things I learned:
*red leds need to be taped up, doh
*a better pre-determined height needs to be planned
*need some shots from above the mortars
*take some video with drone from further back
all-in-all if was successful, drone flew well in the dark, got home safe and was able to film without a FPV.

thanks and yes on advice.
1. recalibrate compass b4 every flight
2. Check your battery power
3. When descending take it slow if possible
4. Understand what a CSC and how it drop your bird from the sky if you execute It while flying
5. Read the Manual, then read it again (you can download and get a jump start)
6. Read lots on this forum
7. Watch informative youtube videos
8. Realize that to fly you don't have to go full throttle, full yaw, full roll, etc... (I started with an AR Drone 2.0 and flew it with my mini iPad. a real controller is much more sensitive and I am still learning this)
9. Set a timer for battery
good luck

i also added a carbon fiber camera/gimbal guard. it was for a PV2 so I had to modify it with my dremel to make it work. you can see part of it in the above pic.
here is my first daylight video production while flying. July 4th weekend in East Texas with friends.

so, last night I configured my P2 to fly in naza mode.
really like the course lock and home lock features.
also flew out about 350 meters per google earth. thought I was a lot further.
no problem out here where I live in heavy agriculture land... land, land and more un-inhabited land...

Do not use the gopro wifi with a P2. They're the same frequency......crash.
Nice setup Airborne.
