I have found for my area that this satellite prediction website (http://satpredictor.navcomtech.com) (flash required) is pretty spot on. Usually within + or - 1 of the Sats I am able to lock onto. Fortunately, there are only a couple times a day in my neck of the woods, where the coverage is...

You are braver than me..... 600' up and 3,600' out with only 7 Sats is treading on thin ice. I always fly in close proximity whenever I have marginal Sat coverage (8 or less). I believe that sudden loss of Sat coverage when flying out of visual range is one of the biggest challenges Phantom...

What type of Sat count were you getting?

Seems legit! If you like getting ripped off!!! http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Alibaba

Great question! I have always wondered that too! I was always taught to read left to right.

I am pretty sure the switch you need to be flicking to reset your HP is the S2 switch and not the S1. I have a very hard time getting that to work for me, so maybe it is the S1 switch, but I think it is the S2 one. Flicking the S1 switch will put the bird into compass calibration mode, which...

Yes, I too am sorry to hear about your fly away. Since I am color blind, I am very dependent on the DJI App readings to tell me my home point has been established. If I happen to be able to even see the flashing lights in the bright sun light of the day, I will occasionally see the fast...

Maybe it is just me, but I would be more concerned in the condition of the quad copter. If the battery is in that bad a shape, it might be interesting to see some pics of the bird itself. Sorry about your crash.

Re: first photo with my Vision 2 + Very nice! Is that a jpg right out the camera, or a RAW post processed? Again, very nice!

Well I hope I never need one, but if I do, it is nice to know they are available. :D. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Sudden Loss of Satellites below 6 got my heart beating f Yes dannytroy, when I got home and watched the iRec video on my iPhone, I decided to check the http://satpredictor.navcomtech.com/ website, which was showing a day low of 6 Sats for the time and area I was flying in. I have found...

Re: Sudden Loss of Satellites below 6 got my heart beating f Yes, me too Geert! Appreciate your response. That is so true Madhak! I have posted before that I wish DJI would provide and audible alert anytime you fall below 6 Sats and become at the mercy of the wind. I would have instantly...

I just wanted to share my experience and lessons learned from the other evening, Then I experienced what happens when your Phantom Vision 2+ unexpectedly drops below 6 satellites when over 1,200 feet down range. I was flying in NAZA mode and had a confirmed home point set, which I verified in...
