Hi, That's great it works well and the TX can stay powered. Has anyone tried to regain control by switching to ATTi after the quad returns to Home? That would be useful if we could. Seems if the TX is on it should still comunicate. greg

Upgrade not available. I had to change computer to do this upgrade since this requires an internet connection. I downloaded the NAZA 2.10 installer and the DJI Driver. That went fine but when I hooked up the phantom and ran the Assistant there was no upgrade available. It is the new assistant...

On a Mac, I use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the files from the GoPro to the apple native ProRes format. Then use FCPX. You wi ll need a fast external HD as ProRes files are huge. Editing is very fluid though. I'm on an old MacBook Pro with Core 2 Duo and 4 gigs RAM. The fans run fast...

Also be sure you haven't over flown you start position. For example if you start flying facing south and let the quad fly over you so you're facing north, the controls will be reversed until you face south again.

Very true about flying in strong wind. Quite often though the ground wind seems mild but the winds @ 100' are quite different. I knew I was pushing it on the day I discribed. I don't feel I was out if control at any point. I can just see how things could go bad fast if the quad got into some...

I can see this happening more than people think. I had an experience a couple of days ago. It was pretty windy, gusty. Just got the Hero 3 and wanted to see what I could get. I knew if the quad was trying to hover it would be very rough video so I started up wind with the quad aimed to the...

i I just ordered the Phantomount. I haven't been able to find to many user comments about it. How is it so far?

Hi, I can't comment on the gain settings but I am going to play with them though. It would be nice to have it tuned down just a little for filming moves. With course lock, unless you reset it while in flight it uses the forward facing direction recorded when the quad is powered up. Ex, Quad...

Hi, I flew mine for a bit in Manual for the first time today. Best to take off in another mode and switch when at a good safe altitude with plenty of room around you. The Quad will immediately climb so be ready to lower the throttle gently to regain your desired altitude. I was in some wind too...

I did find this in the Manual, finally. Page 11 of the quick start. I guess I I didn't catch the 6 green when I fist moved it. Assumed they were because I moved. Learning. A pleasure to fly. I'm graduating from the AR Drone 2.0. Quite different. I added the Macgyver RC mod so it's similar but...

This was an IMU calibration I had to do. The lights indicated the need. I didn't hook up to the NAZA assistant right off. Didn't see that mentioned in the manual. Have watched all the videos. I believe they only mention the Basic calibration if you don't get good lights on start up. I mistook...

Hi all, Just joined this forum and my Phantom came today by UPS. I want to share an observation that I'm sure some have experienced but after a search of the forum I don't come across it. After assembly and charging the LiPo I headed out to a vacant field for a test flight. Powered up as...
