    FlyAway Phobia .... spoils the fun ...

    Wow whatever, cameraguy. Saw your flyaway video, read your story, read your overly defensive posts. Dude, it's your fault. There is no conclusive evidence to show it was DJI's fault. I've had a flyaway and I've posted about it here before. It was my fault entirely. If I wasn't technically...

    Tiger motor 1214-11 Taking off out of control

    I did the same motor upgrade a couple weeks ago, went without issue. I'm no pro at soldering either. Quad still does the same warm up sequence and everything. Only thing different that I notice is that the quad has a bit more power on tap at all times, and it seems a little bit quieter (but...

    FLY AWAYS?

    Mine happened several minutes after flying. Before takeoff, the LED indicated compass error even after I had calibrated it on the field, but the error went away after it hovered a bit so I thought it'd be ok to keep flying. Then after hovering for a bit in GPS mode, it started heading off in a...

    FLY AWAYS?

    Completely agree with martcerv. I too have had a fly away in GPS mode, couldn't recover in time, and crashed it doing full tilt throttle into the ground. I was probably flying it in a place I really shouldn't have been flying either, and I'll be the first to admit that, though at the time, I...

    Zenmuse H3-D2 GoPro Gimbal problems

    Possibly some weight savings, but doesn't seem like a whole lot. If it eliminates both the PMU V2 and the GCU, that's a couple grams I guess. And from what I can tell, you give up the CAN bus expansion capability that comes with the PMU V2 unit when you go with the board. From left to right...

    Zenmuse H3-D2 GoPro Gimbal problems

    Yeah, I don't know what DJI is trying to pull with the upgrade board. Is that supposed to be their answer to all the critics calling them out for saying the H3-2D is "plug and play"? :lol: Okay, instead of opening up your Phantom and soldering 4 wires to install the GCU/PMUV2, now you'll be...

    Zenmuse Dead?

    I hate to be the one to say it, but I bet a lot of us are thinking it right now: there may be a fatal design flaw in the actual hardware of this unit. The motors (particularly the one that handles the roll compensation since that one is 90-100% the one that starts squealing first) almost seem...

    Zenmuse Dead?

    Chiming in with the same issue. Meticulously and correctly installed, checked everything. Got some great video over the course of last weekend, about 40 minutes worth. Yesterday, went to power it up and it made the loud squealing noise. Mine is still responsive, still tilts and rolls, but...
