    iOS Ground Station on Phantom 2

    I completely agree with you. I admit I should have done a bit more research before my purchase of the Datalink, but DJI is manipulative with their advertising. they present all of these great features on the website as if its all inclusive, but then in very small print it says that you need this...

    Phantom 2 Datalink and Waypoint Questions

    The Phantom2 has been a great learning experience, but I am beginning to realize how simple and cheap quadcopters are to build; especially after finding the hobbyking web site. A frame, four motors, speed controller, etc.. connect them to the brain and load the firmware, that's pretty much it...

    Phantom 2 Datalink and Waypoint Questions

    they need to get on that, I thought the release of the firmware was last month. I've had the data link for months now, I really wish I did more research before that purchase. Once the Ipad ground station app is updated will it be functional? or do i need to somehow update the RX/Tx somehow?

    Fatshark battery & phantom charger.

    I don't really feel like buying a proper charger for my fatshark battery, do you guys think this setup will work ? I cut the end off of this charger I found in the trash, it says " 5v - 1Amp" the fatshark battery is "7.4v - .76Amp" close enough right?

    Latest tweet from DJI on the release of ground station support. Just this picture, no release date. Not very informative.

    floating in circles?

    How much drifting is considered acceptable when in gps mode? when i'm near the ground I am getting up to 10 feet of random drifting but when i'm up around 50 feet my phantom 2 holds its position much more precisely. is this normal? I have re-calibrated my compass many times, away from any...

    Calibrate compass before gimbal?

    I calibrated my phantom2 without the gimbal a while back and it ran perfectly. I recently attached the zenmuse gimbal with the go pro, and now its waaay off. I throttle forward and it goes diagonal, I try to keep it stationary; nope, it plays by its own rules. I have re calibrated everything...

    iOS Ground Station on Phantom 2

    so, when the firmware is released, what is the process for preparing the data link for my ipad? I downloaded the "2.4G Bluetooth DataLink Installer" I'm guessing I will be uploading the firmware through this?

    floating in circles?

    @nve2fst that rant was unnecessary, you could of just answered his question. He mentioned that he wasn't a quad master like yourself. I'm new to this whole RC scene too, it's a bit confusing at first.

    floating in circles?

    Not sure if that is really the issue, but I would give it a try. I just got my phantom 2 about a week ago and it didn't have the latest firmware installed. everything is running perfect for me now. I would also re-calibrate everything after the firmware update, I needed to.

    Best footage I've ever seen

    Slightly off topic, but is there a way to mount the go-pro with its protective case onto the zenmuse h3-sd gimbal? doesn't need to be fancy, I was thinking of just using tape or something. I would be more inclined to shoot more risky shots like this with some protection.

    floating in circles?

    I had a similar issue after I did a firmware update on my phantom 2. my quad was drooping to one side and would not keep stable. The problem was fixed when I plugged it into the assistant software and did and advanced calibration. I would also calibrate the control sticks just in case those are off.

    iOS Ground Station on Phantom 2

    I just purchased the "DJI 2.4G Bluetooth(R) datalink" for my phantom 2. are we still waiting for this firmware or is it out yet, and if it is out how would I go about installing this firmware?
