Good point...thank you again.. Any thought as to if there is any damage and how to check...Motors spinning ok...props just scuffed on the edges.. Thanks again for the help! Steve

Thanks for the reply. I looked and it is checked...Why wouldn't I want it to go home on low battery signal? ..It didn't seem to go home but to climb on critical warning..which it doesn't seem you can check anything for. Thanks for the clarification to come...:)

Hi, This is a 2 part question. I got a little too cocky today and let my battery get to 22%. I guess I missed the first red light warning because suddenly the rear red lights started flashing quickly..I tried to land but the Phantom CLIMBED to about 30 feet and I had NO CONTROL...I supposed it...

I have a Mobius Action Cam hard mounted on my Phantom 2 (non-vision) and am thinking of adding a gimbal. I like the camera, and don't see the need to replace it with a Gopro, but would like the controllability and improved smoothness that a gimbal would add. It is not for professional use...

Was about to go fly and wanted to "top off" my batteries, as it had been a couple of days since I fully charged them. First one (which came with P2) had 4 LEDs , and after I turned on and plugged in I got the charging indicator (lights flashing ) like normal charge for about 15 minutes, then...

after doing basic re-calibration of IMU , on flat surface, the first mod # is drifting between 0.0 and 0.4....I assume that is in the correct range. In other words, it's okay that it is not "Locking in" at 0.00... Drift is okay, even if it's standing still? Thanks

I connected to Phantom 2 Assistant today to adjust my flight limits and when I clicked the " Check IMU Status " button ( there may have been a " calibrate notice , I don't remember) for the first time I got an " IMU CALIBRATION NEEDED" . I followed instructions , did "basic calibration" and now...

I always follow sequence Radio on then Phantom on...but when using phantom assistant on pc with phantom 2 (non-vision in my case) connected to computer to, say , adjust flight limits, or update firmware, is it necessary to have the radio on so as to not break the link or anything? Thanks

I am sorry other people may have had problems, but I wanted to say i just received my UAV locator from Drone Mods and have received nothing but timely and professional help from Bob Lorincz at the company. One of the questions was the result of my not reading the directions closely enough. He...

Hi. I have been trying to contact you about purchasing one of your UAV holders for $20. I don't know if I am not using the proper method to contact you since I am new to the forum and have never Private messaged before. Please contact me at [email protected] and let me know how to purchase...

Hi. Tried pm,,but want to try this as well. Please pm me if you still have any...does the disproportionate weight on one side really not effecr flight or cause phantom to work harder to stabilize?

After my last flight ( slight breeze, lots of hovering, cool day in SoCal) of almost 19 minutes, I noticed that the motors and battery (after removal ) were warm (not hot) to the touch. I'm not sure if it's always been this way ( I've only had 6 flights ) and I'm getting paranoid reading posts...

Hi, in reading the manual and trying to understand everything, I see a flashing 3 red LEDs means "Not stationary or sensor bias is too high". what does that mean and what is "sensor bias " anyways? Thanks

Hi, Just wondering. If I have a fully charged battery and realize that I am not going to fly for a few weeks, do I need to discharge it? I thought I read that it is best to store it at about 40% charged. If so, what is the best/safest way to discharge the battery. I also heard it's a good...

That's a great article...I did go to the NOAA site in his article and the K rating may go above 7, so why not wait a day or so to fly? :)
