    Litchi autonomous flight: lost my bird

    In my case the inadvertent touch became the last waypoint in the mission. The point was a long distance away. I lost contact before it reached it. I presume the battery became critically low either on the way there or on the way back home at which point it attempted to land. Adding a lock...

    Litchi autonomous flight: lost my bird

    I don't know exactly where the accidental waypoint was as I didn't save the mission (wish I had but didn't realize what was happening). All I know, is that it is was far away and that the last known position (from logs) was nearly 1,000' from my home / take-off point. I mapped a line from the...

    Litchi autonomous flight: lost my bird

    I lost my Phantom 3 yesterday due to this issue. I had no idea that I had accidentally entered a waypoint. It flew towards it and I lost contact before I realized what was happening. I'm assuming there wasn't enough battery to make it back home and it landed somewhere in the dense forest near my...

    No FPV on Phantom Vision 2

    Yes, I have reformatted the card and tried different cards. Every once in a while I get an idea on something new I can try so I give it a shot. Nothing has worked so far. Today, I decided to try a different Android device than I've tried previously but no joy. I have a suspicion that it could be...

    What a bunch of nonsense. Problem is on iOS and Android. Buy a Phantom 3, wow what great advice! Spend more money so that you can get more non-support. What a joke!

    Thanks for the link. It is the same issue however this video refers to the PV2+. While not good news, at least in the case of PV2+ owners, there is a known cause and fix. For P2V owners I have yet to find anything on the cause. I'm convinced that DJI knows exactly what the issue is but they are...

    No FPV on Phantom Vision 2

    The list of things I've tried is long including all the things you mention and many more. The green light does not mean that everything is working correctly. Everyone that has this issue reports that everything works normally, they can take pictures and video, and that the green light is on. The...

    No FPV on Phantom Vision 2

    The lag you mention was the first sign of trouble I experienced. Sometimes it was up to 30 seconds or more. Then for a while the lag issue went away. However, a short while later I started experiencing intermittent lack of FPV which is now permanent. I discharged my Wi-Fi module and recharged...

    Glad that worked for you. I had a few intermittent FPV failures before it became permanent. Each time I thought it was something I did that fixed the problem but now I'm convinced it was just coincidence. Hope that's not the case for you.

    An expensive brick that I don't want anymore. I will likely try to sell it but I'll get pennies on the dollar. Lots of people have experienced the same issue but DJI acts like they have no knowledge of the issue. All you get is their canned responses, try this, try that none of which solves the...

    I took the camera apart and checked for something visually obvious but no luck. Still hoping that someone will find an easy fix!

    Sorry that you are experiencing the same problems as me. I agree "Never again DJI"! My experience with their customer service and support is horrible. They seem to be oblivious to the plethora of customer service complaints. They may be near the top of the market for now but poor customer...

    Please let us know how it turns out. I'm going to take the camera apart in the hopes that I'll find some physical issue.

    Yes, the spinning disk in your picture is what I see except of course it's on the FVP screen against a black background. I have also tried all of the recent suggestions but it's made no difference. As suggested if I had another unit I could swap parts but unfortunately I don't know anyone that...

    No FPV on Phantom Vision 2

    I get all of the information, all of the telemetry: speed, altitude, distance, satellites, etc. Video, pictures and gimbal all work. Where the FVP video normally appears I get a spinning disk. Wi-Fi range is normal. Everything works except FPV. I have reset the range extender and the camera...
