    Crash

    Usually VRS happens when you are coming down. From your video it appears you are either stationary or ascending. If you have a low battery, you can have current overdraw where the motors spool down - although they keep running they simply aren't running fast enough to give you lift. This will...

    Disaster struck today - drone fell from sky

    Scary, I didn't use to fear flying my quad, I need to stop reading these forums. Pretty soon instead of flying it, I will just hold it and dream of the good ol days. ;)

    anyone seen this camera error?

    Are you using a 64 gb card. The phantom is designed to support up to 32 gb. There are ways to make a 64 gb work, but not without risk of losing your footage.

    gimbal roll

    I had the same thing. Gimbal tilted a few degrees off horizon. Before you try a fix that uses glue or other permanent modifications, call dji and get it sent in. They replaced mine for free. They might not repair it under warranty if you try to modify it.

    A lot of hate towards "drones"

    Missouri is trying to pass a bill outlawing drones, but the phantom falls into the class of "model aircraft" in the bill. That is what I have started calling the phantom when people ask me if it is a drone.

    started my RMA

    DJI was really slow with mine. Sent it in on June 21. Didn't get checked in until July 15th. Finally received email on August 5 that it had been repaired.

    Gimbal Off Axis, Shaking

    Just FYI, my gimbal didn't shake, but it was off axis about 5 degrees. Sent it back to DJI, and they replaced the camera and gimbal at no charge.

    Vibration Dampner Replacement

    You don't have to cut the post. If you get a pair of needle nose pliers, you can squeeze the wedged out flanges on the post and the plastic spacer will come off. Make sure when you put the new damper on, you use something to push out the wedges on the post to prevent the spacer from sliding...
