    Trying to decide if I want to upgrade to the P4Pro

    I do a lot of still photography and I have a P4 that I am really happy with. I have been looking at some of the examples of the P4Pro and I am not sure I see enough reason to pay the $$ for an upgrade. I do about 10% video and 90% stills. I understand that they dynamic range is better, but if I...

    Really strange flight glitch

    Mod value alternates between 1400-1600. I calibrated out on the beach, no metal or anything anywhere close to me.

    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    There might not be any declination error, but this is not just relegated to me. There are others in this thread from the eastern U.S. that are experiencing the same symptoms, and all of them would fall between a declination of 0 and 5. I have recalibrated about 10 times now and it hasn't solved...

    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    Add me to the list. Same issue here as the others, and I am located in Pensacola, which is literally at 0 declination.

    Beta Testers requested to fix Compass Issue

    Ok, just to add to this thread, I am having issues with the toilet bowl effect as well as j-hooking. I didn't know what to call it but after doing a lot of searches I came across this thread and the descriptions here are totally the same as what I am experiencing. Here is an added glitch though...

    Really strange flight glitch

    So my Phantom 2 with gopro and zenmuse has developed a very strange flight characteristic. It hovers in place just fine, locks onto the GPS in no time, and the compass calibration always works well. BUT, when I am flying in GPS mode and fly forward (or backwards) for a while, when I release the...

    Phantom, water, getterback, instability

    I had it installed on the back left leg using the velcro strap that it comes with. Should I try a different leg? I always recalibrate the compass when I change locations for flight.

    Phantom, water, getterback, instability

    A tiny float that deploys if the Phantom is unfortunate enough to crash in water. Makes it possible to recover everything after it sinks to the bottom of the lake/river/ocean. I have seen others talk about using them and nobody said anything about it causing issues with the Phantom not hovering...

    Phantom, water, getterback, instability

    Question for you all, I ordered a Getterback for my Phantom after seeing some information on here and getting really nervous everytime I fly over water. I installed it on one of the legs yesterday (it weighs next to nothing) and flew the Phantom. It behaved really strangely. It would hover for a...

    Phantom 2 + motorcycle = interesting footage

    The sound was the trickiest part! My friend has a stock Tiger exhaust that is not very inspiring. I have a Tiger 1050 with a pipe, so I went out the following day with a Zoom H1N and recorded my exhaust sounds by putting the recorder in a backpack. I then dubbed the sounds on top of the video...

    Phantom 2 + motorcycle = interesting footage

    Thanks man, It was shaky mostly because it was so **** windy that day. The Phantom was buffeting all over the place and I had to make little corrections to keep it tracking correctly. On calm days it is smooth as silk. Good tips on the camera angles, I am going to make another video (this is my...

    Compass calibration keeps failing

    Flight was awesome, and it hovered very reliably with no wandering to speak of. Can't wait to get the microsd card for my GoPro so I can shoot some footage!

    Compass calibration keeps failing

    Yep, this did it although it took quite a few tries to degauss it into a range where it could calibrate.

    Compass calibration keeps failing

    Updating this for future users who have the same issue: Thanks for the quick suggestions everyone. After trying everything, including reflashing all current firmware and power cycling several times, plus trying to calibrate in several different locations, I finally followed the video for the...
