    Wifi and telemetry not working...

    nothing shows up unless I turn the wifi-extender on. Then it comes up as normal, and the minute I start the APP (android), it disappears. Someone said to use the last 6 of the serial number on the camera to bind it. Like i said....it says it "binded sucessfully", but still nothing.

    Wifi and telemetry not working...

    Power cable for the camera is in tact. Camera powers up, green light comes on. I just get a blank screen on either ios or android. Once out of 20 times powering it up it will show up on the wifi on the phone. When I change to it, it disappears and I just get the blank screen with the bar at...

    Wifi and telemetry not working...

    Last year I experienced a fly-away with my P2V. After shutting it down and it going into RTH mode, it didn't clear the trees (over 100' tall!) and was firmly lodged in the branches. I wrote it off as a learning experience. Last month someone called me asking if I ever got my Phantom back. I...

    After almost a year without problems.....

    Getting really pissed now. Battery terminals are fine. I just went out and flew 4 batteries to death. 1 of them, showed a full charge. As soon as I took off and attempted to climb, it started honking and when looking at the app, said batter was now at 17%! less than 2 minutes in the air...

    After almost a year without problems.....

    Both batteries were over 95%. that's what was confusing me. The Battery indicator on the app was flashing red too. This happened too while on my way back from Salt Lake City last week. I was out in the country and saw a perfect aerial shot, got the Phantom out, fired it up and same thing...

    After almost a year without problems.....

    I went to launch my P2V+ this morning and it would take off....but then land itself while the warning honked on the pad. I changed batteries, same thing. This was a once-a-year event I was suppose to get aerials of.....and couldn't. WTF did DJI do to my aircraft? Yes....everything is up to...

    Will switching to MANUAL mode allow a fast descent?

    I just asked someone today if you could do this successfully! I was out in the country months back and had it about 2000' for some good subdivision pics, and then had to wait FOREVER for it to get back down. I wasn't sure if the GPS sensing motion or altitude change would let you shut the...

    Commissioned by local high school....went well!

    I received a call few weeks ago from a teacher at the local high school. They wanted to do the initials of the school with 2015 under it using all the students from the school. They even let these kids out 2 hours early so they cold do this. I went out and flew the football field a few times...
