    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    I just traveled on vacation to the Bahamas that has very low magnetic declination. It was like flying a new machine. No right pull or J hook. Back home... same ol same ol.

    Where to buy USB ribbon cable?

    My ribbon cable just ripped where the end attaches to the USB adapter. Lasted about a month and I have been very careful. This design sucks. Is there any place I can buy replacement cables?

    The sound you hear is the motors going from full forward flight to hover. It is a Phantom 2.

    After I watched the footage I realized it was not a flyaway. I know how to regain control. I did not realize it was in failsafe. After I realized this I put it in ATTI to gain control. Any idea what triggered my loss of control in the first place? I lost video and control link at the exact...

    Well, after watching the footage, it appears everything worked as it should, but while it was happening... I was scared! http://youtu.be/gfJAVltk_CI

    Check your DSLRPros Antigravity Motor installations!

    I have a DLSRPros rig and antigravity motors installed properly. A quick test would be to see if the stock props work. They only screw on one way and have to be in the proper order to fly. Battery facing toward you: Black Silver Silver Black

    Fixing DJI's Compass Problem

    I'm in PA negative declanation. Mine pulls right and hooks right. Most dramatic in a full forward climb.

    Phantom 2 + H3-3D question

    By not turning very fast and hard. It's designed to suppress the slight left and right yaw wobble, not do full turns.

    Phantom 2 + H3-3D question

    That is with the H3-D2 gimbal. The difference between H3-D3 and H3-D2 is that the D2 is a two axis gimbal which moves on the roll and pitch axis but not the yaw axis. The H3 suppresses the yaw axis motion.

    Can DJI's new firmware be used to prevent fly aways?

    Don't know about the fly aways, but I can attest to the fact that the cylinder limits work. I have a DSLRPro's rig so I am using the Futaba tx/rx and a diversity FPV system. I tested the limits of the FPV system and flew away 4,000 feet and hit my programmed limit. I increased my limit to a...

    DJI's new restricted areas are arbitrary.

    @ SilentAV8R, You're post is incorrect. While DJI Category A = ICAO Class B Airspace, DJI Category B is arbitrary (although many are Class C Airspace). You are entirely incorrect that when you say "DJI places no restrictions on FAA Class E, D, or G." Since you are looking in California...

    DJI's new restricted areas are arbitrary.

    I am a pilot in the US. So my post is primarily from a US point of view. The US follows ICAO airspace designation which consists of: Class A: Instrument Flight Rules, air traffic controlled above 18,000 feet. Class B: Nation’s busiest airports. Requirements to enter: Pilot certification...
