Hello MrBean,
I think it is a battery issue, as my second battery works perfectly!
From full charge to auto land, but battery #1 takes a full charge,
100% in assistant, 4 solid bars on battery, and 100% in app. I take off,
Works fine to about 75-78% then warnings start going off and auto land initiates.
I either have 3 solid bars or 3 solid 1 flashing on battery, app says 7%, bird lands,
And auto shuts off ( motors off ) lights still blink fast red. I hook to assistant, it says
75-78%, but app says 7%. I wait a bit, same thing goes from 75-78 to about 54% bam, red
Lights, 7%, the whole bit! I was storing my batts ( 100% charge ) I think I bricked battery 1
( just ordered a 2 pack genuine phantom batteries I think 5200's )?
The gimbal,
When first hooked up the gimbal does move too far BOTH WAYS ( up/down ) this is set easily with assistant
Software. I would not worry about burning it up, it has a weird feature, if the gimbal travels too far, or far
Enough to contact something ( bird, grass, whatever ) it goes till it hits something,then bounces up/down/up/down
Like it does not know what to do, it knows SOMETHING is there, but also knows it should be there, so it tries over and over
Kind of like a bobble head doll. In a couple short videos I shot, I banked the phantom too far, where the camera hit the belly,
And started bouncing, video looks funny, like it was drunk or something, now I fly smoother, smaller inputs! I love it!
Like anything else, you learn to fly around the new gimbal! I'm having a great time with my mods, and this post.
Too many times people post " look what I did "
No links, no videos, no pictures on how-to, nothing! So I figured, this is what I did, how I did it, where I got it, what I learned,
Problems I found, that way if anyone's else likes anything I've done, they can easily do it to! Why not, taking pictures, is the easy
Part! Maybe I can teach, and learn something as well in the process! We are all the same, phantom addicts! So let's go have some
FUN, and make some friends along the way! That is what it is all about!
Take care, Fly safe!
