    Thoughts on 3.04 Firmware

    I'm just curious. It seems most of the posters here were satisfied with their Phantom 2 using the prior firmware. So, why upgrade to 3.04? I have not upgraded anything for a few months because I am happy with the way mine performs. All comments welcome. Thanks

    No tilt control on Gimbal

    That may be possible, but what I do is just take off with a slight angle down and leave it there so you won't see the props in your videos. Play around with the tilt lever with the Phantom on the ground in front of you until you have a feeling where 30 deg tilt is on the lever movement. Just...

    My newly purchased Phantom 2 seems to be defective

    I had same problem. I switched Stick Mode to "Mode 2" in the RC Assistant Software Program then that corrected the problem for me. Look at the sticks (Channel Monitor) and see what happens when you the move them (throttle, etc). Some previous posts, here or elsewhere, say the mode came...

    DJI's new car charger - $99??

    Just take your wall charger and one of these into the field: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/995841-REG/wagan_2003_5_smart_ac_400w_usb.html That's all you need. A lot less than the DJI Car Charger. JMO

    Firmware Upgrade Failed

    I know what you mean. My retail supplier agreed to exchange my "bricked" RC. It should be on it's way to me. I'm very reluctant to attempt the RC upgrade again. I hope it has already been done. I'll use my Zenmuse the way it is for now, I hope some day DJI will somehow enable upgrades without...

    Firmware Upgrade Failed

    My reseller allowed me to return the remote for exchange. I hope the new unit's firmware is up to date. I'll be somewhat hesitant to try another RC upgrade after the last fail. If my Zenmuse gimbal performs OK, I'll just leave well enough alone. Thanks all.

    Firmware Upgrade Failed

    I found two or three other posts in RC Groups Forum of that same thing happening. One person was able to get power back by removing the batteries and switching on the power for an hour to "clear up" something and seems to have repaired itself. Another person was in the same boat as me. An...

    I added the Zenmuse Gimbal and attempted the upgrade as instructed here: http://www.dji.com/dji-released-new-firmware-for-phantom-2-remote-control/ I got no further than step 1 (upgrade RC to V1.0.1.11) A warning came up that said "upgrade failed". The red Power LED on the remote went out and...

    Remote Control - No Power - Bricked?

    I added H3-2D gimbal to my P2, then tried to upgrade RC firmware to V1.0.1.11 with RC Assistant Software. I got a message that the upgrade failed. The RC red power indicator went out when I got the fail notice and now it seems to have no power. I'm stuck. Is there a reset button on the...
