Angle grinders, drills, hedge cutters,strimmers can all be bought using reliable battery technology and there`s lots more other products besides. DJI couldn`t give a toss and used an inferior battery in their Phantom 2`s and gave up trying to rectify the problem. Maybe they should have had a...

That annoys me no end, DJI have developed all these new variants and models and have released them into the market place but they still haven`t solved a fundamental problem with the power source. For me that shows DJI doesn`t give a toss and if your battery or batteries go south your expected to...

Scotland is a beautiful place, snow on the mountains yet. Surprised there wasn`t a wind farm on view, quite a few springing up over here in NI.

Hand catching is like playing Russian Roulette. Probability tells us it`s not if, it`s when.

Sounds like there`s an issue, whether it`s a battery issue or software one i wouldn`t know. There`s a thread on here about duff batteries and early autoland and what your experiencing sounds familiar to what others have reported. It`s a bummer when you lose confidence and are on "alert"...

I think the Phantom is a victim of it`s own success. The fact anyone with absolutely no rc flying experience can be flying after charging your lipo is amazing and i would hazard a guess would not have be affordable to the average man in the street up until recently. The thing is a marvel no...

How about a Hubsan x4. It`s harder to fly but thats only because the Phantom is so easy. It`s still not difficult plus on windy or rainy days you get a bit of stick time indoors. The x4 is very cheap and the consumable parts, blades,lipos & motors are refreshingly inexpensive , not like some...

It was lively till the mid afternoon but seems to have subsided in my area anyway, NI. Still, wouldn`t fancy the -30c you guys have been getting recently although i was speaking to a couple of guys on my radio and they reckon it`s going to rise to a balmy 0c tomorrow....get the flip flops out :lol:

Maybe the laser and the quadcopter isn`t such a good idea unless your quite isolated. At the very least it`ll cause a stir with the neighbours , weird lights, UFO`s etc etc. If it`s a prank your after how about suspending a dead crow on 200 yards of fishing line and do a couple of flybys?? All...

Amen to that....any prices?

Mine fell out of the air too and i know how your feeling. The only words of wisdom i can bestow upon you are the sobering words uttered by the vendor who told me ".....as a rc enthusiast one should be prepared for prangs and crashes, DJI don`t advertise in the mainstream media but specialist...

Seems i`ve been thinking about this all wrong. ( my unexplained crash that is..) Apparently, after being educated by the seller, the DJI Phantom 2 is for "...the hobbiest" and crashes are to be expected. Hmmm. My idea of a hobbiest is someone with a cardboard box full of junk making something...

Geo 74. Your right mate, you can`t claim some value in your sales pitch and then not stand over it.They should be held to account. The battery technology is probably there when you look at how cordless drills have progressed in recent years so they should either provide a battery...

It`s been pretty well documented that a damm good thrashing / slamming gets the job done. Failing that ofcoarse there`s always the plan b duct tape / bale wire... :lol:

you know i don`t like to complain but..... :D i`ve come to the conclusion i must be invisible. DJI haven`t responded to my second email the first being sent in early July. In the UK our summer never amounts to much so i reckon IF they ever sort me out i`ll have to check online for a...
