    Gimbal gets stuck during pre-flight warmup

    Ahhh, thanks for noticing that, $gambino$ and DmaxSurveyor - good eyes. I saw that block when I first powered up the drone so I removed it. But after I turned everything off and hooked up the gimbal support bracket, I put it back on since it seemed like a good protection. I have powered this...

    Gimbal gets stuck during pre-flight warmup

    Techcop50, Thanks for the suggestion. I plan to do that although I am not sure what you mean by cold-calibrate the IMU. How is that different from just running the standard IMU calibration? Once I go through the power-up sequence, I do not get an IMU Calibration error so I do not know how to...

    Gimbal gets stuck during pre-flight warmup

    Hey SuPaDuPa, Sorry to hear you are having problems, too. I spoke with DJI today and the support guy told me to send the drone back to them for repair.

    Negative Altitude with Phantom 2

    This issue has probably been discussed but I have not found a good answer in my limited search yet. So far, I have flown my Phantom 2 (non-Vision) at two localities: my home (SE Texas) where this is not an issue since the terrain is so flat; my place in New Mexico (7200' elevation) where the...

    Clip on landing gear extenders for gimbal users

    Great idea. I just got a Phantom 2 with Hero3. If this is still something you or anyone is doing, I would love to hear about it.

    Phantom 2 and GoPro Hero 3+ with Filters

    I am new to the forum and new to quadcoptering. I just purchased a DJI Phantom 2 with a Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal and a Hero 3+ Black. I have read that a ND or polarizing filter can help with prop lines, jello-effects and contrast on bright sunny days. The filters I have seen slip on either the naked...
