    GPS hold...

    Mine would move a mile if i just spin it in GPS hold. Where as GPS hold with NO input it stays still. That was with Firmware 3.0 anyway...

    For everyone who has done the Firmware 3.1 upgrade...

    Ok... You have a new spool up and take off that you love or hate... But all DJI products are moving this way so hope you enjoy it! It looks to me like GPS lock maybe quicker then before, but maybe that was just me. What has your experience with your Phantom flying firmware 3.1 been like so far?

    GPS hold...

    Is it just me or do you notice this with your phantom as well. Let’s say you have a 20 KPH wind and your flying your phantom in GPS mode. You pop it up to 50 feet and it holds it position very well. Then while still in GPS hold you slowly start to spin the phantom by JUST giving it rudder...

    New Software and Firmware?

    A few people on facebook have done the upgrade and it did work... so it is not total end of the world .... That said DJI has a huge problem here if they really don't want people to upgrade. Having on thing that says upgrade and something else that says no. You can't blame a customer for being...

    Home lock and course lock question

    Very beginner question... Flying my phantom in manual / atti / gps mode I totally understand how it flies and it works just the way I would expect. No issues at all. My problem is home lock and course lock. I always start my phantom with the status light pointing at me (so I am looking at...

    Yet another lost Phantom

    15 MPH is pushing it ... I think I wouldn't fly much above 10 MPH. And as someone pointed out 15 MPH at ground level ... it could easily be twice that at 100 feet. Joe

    Ballancing DJI White Props

    I did consider sanding... Sanding plastic tends to open up the stricture of the material in a way that can significantly weaken it. As the stock props are quite thin and flexible I didn't think sanding them was the best option. The small logo itself is so close to the HUB that removing it...

    Those that had the Phantom go bye,bye....a few questions

    First off that tweet was FAKE. I and over 500 other people follow DJI on twitter. If that tweet existed someone would have replied or re-tweeted it and they can't delete them. Also that is not a picture of Facebook on an iPhone it is a picture of twitter on an iPhone. So that example posted...
