All works but no FPV on my Motorola Droid

Sunday night June 22, 2014 on CBS USA 60 Minutes Drone Mania,, Better watch, might affect your ability to fly

Great post,, This is number one, "learn to hand catch for landings" This is a must for sucessful flying. No matter if you are out on a boat, standing in water, sitting on a 20th floor balcony, beach, etc., bring her home to your hand, easy shut off with your single pull back throttle. save your...

I like your theory,, "Take off pointing North" ,, May have missed that in the DJI manual, I live west of Goleta,, we have a special zone of magnetic interference due to our geographic location on the earth.. I learned this from a post by Ironwood. My regular take off spot faces East,, I have...

Trying to lighten up the conversation with a laugh,, :lol: Could this be related to the new 24 tv program,, Hackers overriding the software program and controlling your drones.. A new thief program app,, "Send your Drone to me"

I am sorry this is happening to so many,, My only comment is I believe Cell phone use may cause these crashes,, First off the calibration instructions state not to have electronic car keys or Cell phones near by while calibration is being performed.. How far away should they be? Metal parking...

I have a similar issue,, cant open a 2nd video after switching from video to still photo and back to video,, The Vision app says it is recording but the video will not load using VLC software. The first video loads every time perfectly,, Anyone know why?

I am finding that only my first video is filming,, If I shut video off in flight and switch to still photo it works fine but when I return to 1080 video after taking still photos the camera does not record, The vision app says it is recording but the second video is blank Black. I just tested...

OK,, Good points but There is some downside I believe: 1) Adding any weight to the PV2+ is not good. 2) Adding unknown sources of magnetic devices cell phones etc, may cause compass malfunction 3) Crashing in a remote area or even close by could deactivate your GPS device. Anyway I will follow...

Has anyone used the P2V+ "Find my Drone" in the vision App ? I land in different locations and go to Find My Drone in the vision app and it works perfect,, Pin points the location everywhere, even when its in my house. Why a need for a second tracking device?

So you are not activating the "Find my Phantom" on the vision app,, looks to me it would be accurate, or am I missing something that you are adding a second GPS tracker?

Its a good question,, Your P2 has a magnetic compass. There are many reasons to recalibrate your compass, examples are did you last calibrate with your iPhone in your pocket or even close by? ,, were you sitting in your car? Did you change your exact last flight home location? And I do mean...

I believe the problem to be in calibration of the compass in extra magnetic locations, its a flaw that DJI software might be able to fix,, so far DJI has not fixed the issue,, There is a forum regarding Compass Calibration and how it relates to the geography of where you are located while...

Thank you, Problem solved and a new feature found.. Wow what a great forum,, Cheers

Good posts,, TSA can be like a box of candy,, you never know what you will get,, Haha,, That said as I live part time in Honolulu it entered my mind to skip taking it on board an aircraft. Just to be safe,, dont want my Drone in the trash. For $30 you can ship it safe via UPS, USPS or Fedx...
