Hello guys,
First of all, GREAT forum and happy to be here!
I wanted to share a couple of issues I experienced today...
After completing my pre-flight checklist (I always do), I took off with my P3P and, at a distance of about 4000', I completely lost video and RC signal.
RC signal came back after a couple of seconds but video feed never came back even with full video bars. My iphone video screen started flickering displaying only scattered b&w images. RTH didn't work therefore I had to fly using only the map.
At about 2000' from my location, I got the low battery warning and I believe I canceled the RTH request by mistake and kept manually flying it towards me. At 200', I got a visual on the phantom and battery level was now 16%. The scary thing is that it started to land automatically on a nearby tree... Not able to cancel it, I had to "fight" it all the way home where it landed with 4% battery left.
Luckily, it was a safe landing after all and the camera issue got solved by power cycling the phantom.
I haven't found any info on either one of the issues and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
