I have never tried it. I can't imagine a circumstance where I would want to. What I am going to try this week is manual fly to way points then fine turn way points to accurately fly. I am not sure if I can set way point to where the craft is hovering.

I just got an email that they have repaired and have sent my Phantom back. It will arrive on my 3 month anniversary of when I sent it in. I think the solution is to never buy a DJI product again.

No DSLpros. For warranty work they told me to send it to DJI. If I had known what I was in for I would have never sent it in. I will never make that mistake again.

I had to send it to DJI for it was under warranty. What a huge mistake. I should have just bought another BTU. Next week it will be 3 months that DJI has had my Phantom. And I still haven't heard when it will be sent back.

My blue tooth connection never worked to hook up with my iPad. I sent it back in early May. I still haven't gotten my Phantom back. I think the real solution is to sell our Phantoms and buy a 3DR or Tayzu. Documentation and service sucks from DJI. Help in non existent. The best help is from...

Do yourself a favor. Sell it, and go buy another drone. DJI service is horrible.

I have thrown over $2,500 into my phantom. I purchased a kit with blue tooth connection so I can do way point flying. It never worked. I sent it back to DJI May 7th. They checked it in June 15th. They said it wouldn't be fixed for another 6 weeks. What ever you do get it fixed anywhere but...

It took them 5 weeks to check it in.

I live in the mountains and have the same issues with GPS. I will have to be a lot better flyer to go manual. I have found that having a partner watch the Phantom and I watch the screen. In tight places I now practice with little flights first. I have also learned to be right behind the...

Check that you mounted the props. properly.

I have had my phantom for about 3 months. Just was going to try GS. found out my data link didn't work. I had to send it all back to DJI service time is 4-6 weeks. Can you set the camera angle in GS? Like fly in a circle and have the camera always pointing at the middle?

The antenna is for the blue tooth connection. Your iPad or pc will talk to your phantom for ground station operation. Down load ground station from DJI. With Pt2 software enable blue tooth. Documentation suck. You can fly out miles automatically with programmed routes. My blue tooth unit...

You are learning. It harder than it looks isn't it.

All my flights are between 7,000 and 9,000 feet. I have found no issues with standard props. I have a set of carbon fiber props that seem to work better but I really don't know. The carbon fiber performance is most noticeable when craft is correcting for wind gusts. I always land before...
