    Compass Calibration Issues

    Comforting to know that it's not that serious issue - I think? I did let the PH2+ settle for a while after righting but it's interesting to realise how quickly the the PH2+ lost its GPS signal. Maybe that explains why there's a sudden loss of control in unexpected blustery conditions; i.e. pitch...

    Compass Calibration Issues

    Thanks Mako. I had 9 sats, but you're right; tip it on it's side and maybe lose a few. But surely the PH2+ is not that sensitive. I've used "Navionics" app as the main GPS chartplotter on my launch for about 3 years now, on occassions hand held so it moves around a lot, never had a problem as...

    Compass Calibration Issues

    Hi Guys - came across an issue with calibration today, which some of you may have already experienced. I followed all the usual procedures for calibration, left the PH2+ blinking green for about two minutes on the ground and then accidently knocked the PH2+ on its side. That's when I got the...

    DJI Ultimate Flight/GS app (Android)

    Fantastic. Question. Can you flip to RTH after the last waypoint?

    Ground Station pre-planned waypoints

    Thanks Eurostylin; you've likely confirmed my thoughts on the Asus (great hardware/crap software I'm told). Shouldn't really complain as I purchased it 2nd hand nearly 4 years ago to use as a cheap chart plotter on my launch. The Asus has worked flawlessly as a plotter all that time. Me thinks...

    Ground Station pre-planned waypoints

    Hi Kenargo. Well I've done some more research and "splashed" out on your DJI Ultimate Flight app. Unfortunately I'm unable to fully trial till next week. However, the app appears compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S III, but for my tablet, a message from Google Play shows "No carrier Asus...

    NAZA - Home Lock

    OK, I'll bear that in mind with my trials. Thanks again. After a windy Spring season (normal) in Auckland New Zealand we have just finished a relatively calm summer and so far also for the start of our autumn season. Winter is usually relative cool but calm; i.e. we have only rare weather...

    NAZA - Home Lock

    Thanks Monte55; very succinct. I now clearly understand the distinction between HL & RTH in NAZA.

    NAZA - Home Lock

    Great experiment Monte55. Does the result of your experiment suggest that HL mode does not auto land and "shut-down" the drone at its home point? I'm trying not to confuse S1 RTH & S2 HL modes!

    NAZA - Home Lock

    Thanks MrC; that's the answer I was after. Can I assume the S1 switch remains UP throughout this process?

    NAZA - Home Lock

    Quick question. Is it feasible, when flying in NAZA mode (assumed out of sight), to fly (up) to an altitude well above any perceived obstacles (trees, steeples etc) prior to activating the S2 Home Lock. What S1 switch position would be required for increasing the altitude? Cheers - NoRush :)

    Ground Station pre-planned waypoints

    Hi Kenargo - very impressive. Unfortunately not compatible with my Samsung Galaxy III or Asus Transformer TF101. Did I miss some info on a pause/yaw/photo? Look forward to your further developments. Cheers NoRush

    Ground Station pre-planned waypoints

    I'm yet to try out Ground Station with waypoints. Successfully used my smartphone for photos/videos during recent flight training. Viewed some remarkable videos of the GS with waypoints which would be most suitable for my commercial purposes; i.e. building condition surveys. One issue that has...

    Hi Gordhunt. I'm really impressed with your skills and video quality; I've got a lot to learn to achieve that standard. I'd like to continue this thread with any further hints, tips and videos. Cheers NoRush :)

    Pix4d Capture on iOS

    Hi All. Great discussion on the Pix4d. I recently purchased a Phantom 2 vision + V3. Flown it around 6 times, had a few hair raising moments but it's still in one piece; thankfully. I'm currently using a Samsung Mini S3 with the drone. I'm a Registered Building Surveyor and am excited about the...
