Hello phantom enthusiasts. I originally got into the Phantom world around the time the PV2+ was the latest and best option there was. I had my fair share of issues with that, including a fly away, but the bird was eventually returned to me. I put that on ice for a few years, then after...

I already ordered a GPS tracker from Amazon after reading about it on the forum earlier.... just wish i had it last week! Thanks for the info guys -- I'm hopeful I can find it, but I'm prepared for the worst.... I'm leaning towards buying a V2 3.0 if I can't find the other one.

Okay, so I flew my Vision 2+ on Thanksgiving, recorded an awesome skeet shooting competition, then went on to the family dinner. I decided to fly my phantom and show off for some extended family members... I was flying in a soup bowl area, really high trees on a rather steep hill. Needless to...

I replaced my wifi module, after seeing this thread. I have an android device (previously a Galaxy Nexus, now an S5, and as a bonus when upgrading, I got a Verizon Ellipsis 7 tablet too). The wifi replacement helped, after trying all the firmware upgrade/downgrade made no difference. I had...

Re: F&!$^$# Wi-fi Issues POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOUND Okay -- I've posted enough here to describe my issues -- no sense getting into it further. I have done the following: - Replaced the wires from the camera to wifi module (helped, did not fix the issue) - Replaced the wifi module (again helped...

There are two wires that attach to the wifi module, they could have come loose. It is not hard top open it up -- it's the dis-assembly and re-assembly that gets tricky!

I've had similar issues, but they existed before I upgraded to the S5 this week. I created other posts asking for help, and one reply, which I haven't tried yet, it to try flying in a different location. I've been trying to resolve this issue at home, which is where it started.... my attitude...

Re: F&!$^$# Wi-fi Issues Thanks for the suggestion... I had actually just read on another site about the mobile data setting. I turned that off and tried again. It worked, as long as I stood inside my house and flew. I flew maybe 60 seconds, stayed connected the entire time. I figured the...

Re: F&!$^$# Wi-fi Issues Would you be able tell me how to change that setting? I'm in the advanced settings on my phone now and don't see an option to change or stay connected....

Re: F&!$^$# Wi-fi Issues No the tablet and phone are not near each other, and I just checked, the tablet wifi is off. I used my phone, at least it fits in the holder. I rebound the camera, got a good signal, so I started the Phantom, blades connected -- on my dining room table. Held it...

I've posted on here, mostly about my wifi issues -- I wish I could make other contributions to the forum -- but I can't get over my own issues :roll: . A brief summary from start to now: - I crashed on my first flight, damaged one of the wires on the 8-pin camera cable. **Note: I did not have...

How does one induce a flip or roll.... like joystick control wise? Obviously it can't be in GPS mode, but other than that, what do you do? I've only ever flown GPS, and gone balls out forward, then slammed it in reverse to come to a hover really quick and not "drift" to a stationary...

Let me add my .02 cents. I bought a PV2+ -- I've been in RC for about 12 years, and my thought was, if stock is good, aftermarket is better. So when I got my PV2+, I removed the stock gimbal/camera and installed the H3-3D gimbal and a GoPro Hero 3+. I also incurred the $400 cost to buy an FPV...

DDMSteve is the forum name of Steve, who works for Daves Discount Motors (DDM). I've been buying HPI Baja parts from DDM for about 7 years now, needless to say I'm glad they sell Phantoms and parts, never had a problem with their service! Yes, they have a large selection of DJI phantom parts...

Here is the link: http://www.phantompilots.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=20006&p=182775#p182775 Your problem sounds exactly like mine. My phone would not even find the wifi signal. When you do replace it -- be sure you scan the NEW bar code included with the module. You get 2 new stickers.
