    So I returned the Phantom 2 (total cost of "repair" and postage close to 70 bucks). They tell me everything perfect on their end, all properly calibrated and flying fine. I received it today, took it out of box, attached props, switched on, calibrated compass, turned joysticks toward me and...

    Nope. The props failing to initialise happens at random... sometimes they'll work, sometimes they won't. This is the longest time they haven't initialised. The gimbal not working has also been a problem - it moves up and down of its own accord. I've sent it back to distributor for repair or a...

    Yep. I first calibrate the controller - everything moving as it should. I then connect the Phantom to the PC, and everything is moving as it should - all sticks, gimbal, etc. Everything reaching end points, etc. Power on Phantom, calibrate compass, goes to green... but props don't initialise.

    Thanks, guys, for all your kind replies. I have been having a very frustrating experience with my Phantom. My H3-3D gimbal has never worked (moving up and down throughout flight, unprompted). So last night decided to fit the anti-interference device. Since then I haven't been able to initiate...

    I've had my DJI Phantom for about two weeks now. First, after a flyaway and a crash, I had to recalibrate. Took about a whole day before the props started working again. Now it seems every other day the props won't fire up and I have to go through the whole calibration exercise about 1500 times...
