I have flown mine with the only problem being a horizon off level, which turned out to be my surface when I calibrated the IMU and gimbal was not level. I used a sheet of glass and a level to get a perfect level during calibration. I use filters so I have not seen any jello effects. Make sure...

Actually, I really liked this video. You have a lot of great scenes here. Yeah, your could have done this, or done that, but the bottom line is that you have a natural sense for artistic creation and composition. You will get much better, but I'd feel pretty good about this video. Good job!

One of the best reasons I have for flying exclusively with Litchi, is that you don't get nagged about firmware being out of date. I only use the DJI app to calibrate the IMU or gimbal once is a blue moon. Now that Litchi has voice direction when calibrating the compass, there is no reason to use...

Good to know... and also good to test all sorts of scenarios for the "just in case" situations. I flew a Litchi mission last night and I walked so I positioned myself in line of sight with the quad. I had perfect video transmission at over 6500 feet. Not a single dropped frame or screen freeze...

Very helpful information. I think you cleared it up for me.. thank you!

Hi all, This is a great forum. I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer for, so I am going to reach out to you guys and probably get the answer right away. Here is my question about Litchi signal loss: The two signal strength indicators on the top of the app are the uplink and...

I have let a mission keep going after a signal loss situation, but this time, I was a little bit concerned about the battery charge when it lost signal. I had 81 percent battery left, so I should have let it go. I didn't want to take a chance of a low battery situation. I guess I have become...

Hi, I have been flying Litchi waypoints for a few great missions. Litchi in my opinion is the better app. Anyway, I have some questions that this post brings to mind. I was going to post these questions in a new post, but this thread is exactly the place for my questions, so here they are...

First of all, when I read the initial post, the thoughts expressed in these comments were like reading my mind. Pertaining to your great comment, is the fact that raw data coming from the barometer is noisy, and the variances even after filtering translate into overall precision and accuracy of...

this brings back horrible memories for me. The same thing happened to me about 8 weeks ago. Here is what happened, and how I inadvertently fixed it: 1. Calibrated compass, 16 satellites, took off 2. About 1/8 mile down range at 300 feet, got red warning: "no signal" at top of app. 3...

Wow.. fast reply! thank you so much for the information!

On this topic of auto discharge, does the battery have to be left in the Phantom for auto discharge to work? I always remove the battery after a flight to let cool and to store until the next flight. Does the "smart" battery have it's own micro-controller to oversee the discharge? Also, if you...

I'm guessing (just guessing) that the problem is in the flex cabling. Look on youtube for a video on how to change the camera. I remember seeing one a while back, that showed the tear down procedure and all the flex connections involved. I would go through this video, and gently make sure that...

I had trouble with mine too. I finally got it off by accident. That is to say that I found myself not squeezing tightly but only turning. Here is what I would try if I were in your shoes, and didn't want to break the glass. With a Dremel cutting disk, cut two very thin slots in the outer...

Thank you very much! This explains it perfectly. Have a nice day!
