This is the phantom 1 but I have lock washers and my locks and definitely not slipping. It is very strange that the ESC works sometimes and then sometimes not, almost like it works with a certain voltage and above or isn't PWMing correctly at low voltage. I am ordering another and will try to...

Yup, referring to the ESC Thanks, I guess I'll order one of those, just wanted to make sure I was on the right track.

so I just used the Naza Assistant software to turn all four motors. Turns out M3 sometimes will rotate and sometimes not when I click the test button. Seems very hesitant and would make sense with the way it sometimes "spirals" down. So, I replaced the motor and same thing. Pretty much leaves...

Very interesting thought on the motor. Is there a good way to test or what are you thinking exactly. I looked for ice but didn't really see anything so I don't think the props are icing up

It is interesting because the more weight I add the more obvious it is, ie gimbal. So maybe these batteries can't handle it or ? I have EProps on it and dual batteries and unfortunately this weather won't warm up for me to try warmer temps. I will wait I guess until we get at least mid 30s and...

I'm in MN... Not real humid but around 25F. It is definitely some of my first cold weather flying but I didn't think 25F is all that cold for the electronics or batteries. Am I wrong here?

Hello- I have probably around 100 flights in with my phantom 1. Recently it has been acting really strange. First it was not receiving a compass reading so I worked for a while to fix that with some voodoo magic. Now, it is still acting crazy and while hovering will suddenly just drop and be...

I had this same issue, but figure it isn't a big deal because voltage drops down a bit. The issue I am having, is extremely short flight times before I get red blinking lights continuously...like 3-4 minutes. Anyone else experiencing this? I hope I haven't harmed my batteries in some way, and...

Here is a site a found that has been helpful. If you scroll down to the bottom it goes through many if not all of the lights you can see with an explanation that I think is better than the manual by far. http://www.helipal.com/dji-phantom-gps-drone-rtf.html

Hello- Thanks again for all the help on this forum. As one totally new to RC Copters, my next desire is to setup a live video feed for either FPV goggles of a monitor. I think i like the monitor idea best, but looking for advice on what I need for the transmitter, receiver and monitor. Should...

After my experience, I think I am going to try Atlanta next time. They are supposedly the largest DJI dealer in the world and were nothing but awesome in the times I have talked to them so far...but I haven't had a chance to use them as I still don't have mine back from the worthless ALL e RC...

If your old motors are still soldered on, I just looked at the old colors, the position in the harness (where the wires meet the motor) and installed the new motors according the the wire positioning from left to right. Make sense? This isn't an ideal way, but I didn't have an easier way and...

and that is very interesting about DSLRpros...because I had the same experience with buying a shell, but decided to call to verify after my order since no one else had one...and sure enough, they had none as well.

Oh, you aren't pouring any salt in a wound, I new it was simple, but the only way I could get the shell was to pay him to do the work and I didn't want to wait another 3-4 weeks...So I agreed to $200, in the end he charged $250 claiming he agreed to $200 in labor...which is ridiculous anyways...

Great! Thanks everyone, and I agree there are some things that need to get communicated to DJI. To clarify, All e RC has been just fine for buying stuff, well all I bought so far was the Phantom, but their repair service is a different story. I just really didn't mesh with the guy, and then...
