Shows that DJI has a big battery problem because everyone will soon have this issue. I will never trust the smart battery ever again. http://youtu.be/vViFGNUjG4g

Even micbergsma of Gopro YouTube fame is getting battery failure.... Go like the video there so the issue is handled by DJI http://youtu.be/vViFGNUjG4g

I believe there is a problem as well with the batteries or firmware. I have 1 battery that has boot loader 1.4/firmware 1.6 that cannot be updated. I also have 2 batteries that have boot loader 1.5/firmware 2.0 that says "No Updates." I was using old controller/board firmware for phantom 2...

I am posting to let everyone know that I have 3 batteries. the first one has loader 1.4 and firmware 1.6. The other 2 batteries have loader 1.5 and firmware 2.0 and I cannot update the firmware of the batteries like all of you. I am currently using Main controller 3.08 firmware and central...

I have owned my Phantom 2 since January 2014, but only flew about less than 30 times throughout the year. I am now getting early auto land issues at various capacities on 3 different batteries. When I first got the Phantom 2 I had no problems and had supreme confidence in it. I even had a 2...

so it is possible to have an f550 with e600 and standard aimdroix arms in Y6 config?

Have any of you tried to increase the range of the ground end of the datalink by changing to a better/different antenna rather than using the stock antenna? I am wondering if it is possible to increase the range that it could maintain contact with the air end. I flew it far as a test and my...

I have used the simulator and it has happened to me many times. Crashing and flipping over. I have about 5 real ground station flights and have never encountered those mishaps. Maybe the simulator does it to make things interesting and funny.

I found this on the rcgroups forums, but I have not tried it yet: "You can still do it, but you need to do the math ahead of time to calculate the heading for each waypoint. Divide 360/15 and that is a heading change of 24 degrees for each waypoint. so, have WP 0 at the top (north) side of the...

yeah, those anti drop screws, those black plastic things that go through the dampeners to keep the whole thing together from popping off. every now and then i lose an anti drop screw when returning from a flight. the replacement set that DJI has sells for $39. **** expensive for items that are...

great to hear about number 4. i am going to test it myself. what happens if you move one of the directional sticks on the transmitter while in a waypoint mission? does it revert to the rc transmitter? does it move off the mission, but then go back to mission when you let go of sticks?

My first test with iPad ground Station was successful after figuring it out. At first I had some issues of it starting from Go but it eventually worked as I figured it out. My ground end was set up with the 2.4 ground transmitter with BTU and a Mophie Powerstation Duo USB battery. The mophie...

what is the maximum speed of the phantom 2? I assume those with iosd would know in meters/second. given that number and considering battery capacity, how far can the phantom 2 go in 10 minutes assuming a battery life of 20 minutes? (need to save battery to comeback) I'd like to know how far i...

I saw the engadget page that has a good description of the Ruling and great pics of it, but did you notice that there are differences in the one in the pic and the one at NAB? The one in the pic has toggle switches up top. You think they are still toying with the idea of bringing out a new version?

it is a screen grab from the DJI Website. https://www.flickr.com/photos/9627706@N03/13483221285/ You can find the link when you go to the DJI webpage and goto the careers page. Looks to be a combo transmitter and FPV monitor.
