    Flytrex Live 3G Released - Review

    Amit - I appreciate that you are being communicative. At the same time, I have a bit of a bad story, and am fairly frustrated. I purchase a Flytrex Live from Dronefly - their website was nondescript as to version. I paid the list price, received the Flytrex, did the solder install, registered...

    HOW TO: Install copper foil shield (fix low satellite count)

    Re: HOW TO: Install copper foil shield (fix low satellite co Fellow flyers - I found this on Ebay...copper, cut to shape, adhesive on the underside, and non-conductive coated on the top side. Much easier, and my install went perfectly: DJI Phantom Vision Plus + 1 2 FC40 Copper shield non...

    Questions on my new V3.0

    I would add that, at least in my case, the altimeter on my P2V+ V2 is simply not that accurate, so when it comes to ground station, programmed flight, RTH, etc., be careful.

    Newbie Help With Remote Batteries

    With both the RC and the extender, there is an indication when you connect to a charging source...on the RC it is red until charged, and on the extender it is yellow until charged. In both cases, indicators turn green when fully charged, HOWEVER, the extender discharges more quickly than the RC...

    Altimeter problem

    Hello all - I have been flying my Phantom 2 Vision+ V2, many flights, with great results, since October. Did upgrade to the new compass, and the new RC with the thumbwheel, am flying the 9450 props, and ALL software and firmware are current as of this date. What I am experiencing is not a big...

    height limit reached

    I find that with my P2V+ V2, after GPS and home position established, and after compass orientation, altitude is often displayed erroneously, sometimes -385 ft, while sitting on the ground. I then power-cycle Phantom, await GPS locks again, reconnect iPhone, and altitude is essentially correct.

    I am having a lot of fun flying! Are you?

    Yes, absolutely having a blast with my P2V+ V2! Did upgrade to the new compass, the new RC, and am flying the 9450 props, but otherwise a stock V2, and truly enjoying the experience.

    Altimeter issue

    Umm...I don't think it is supposed to start out showing -325 feet at initial takeoff

    Have You Ever Turned The RC Off Just To See If...

    I agree with Meta4, as well as with several other comments in this string. First, any reasonably experienced pilot should fly in NAZA, so as to avail themselves of Failsafe on S1, and Homelock on S2. The other important think to remember is that creating Failsafe (either by turning off the RC...

    Altimeter issue

    There does seem to be something to this, and Mopar Bob, I agree with you that I didn't notice the issue until I did the Advanced Cali. So now pre-flight is: Turn on RC and WiFi Turn on Phantom Await indications of GPS and home (aft led's) Do the compass orientation dance Power cycle Phantom...

    Interesting - I will give it a try, and thanks!

    Altimeter issue

    Thanks for the info...so simply allowing Phantom to sit on the ground, after GPS/home established, compass orientation, will allow it to warm up, or do I do what I have been doing, which is hovering nearby, wasting battery, until altitude becomes more realistic. In other words, does Phantom/the...
