My bats started falling off right away and now can not even get close to the original 18/20 min flights Maybe DJI has a little secrete. I am using the video recorder to log the time. I purchased 2 Bats with the phantom and the 3rd off Amazon which will not allow bat. charge and discharge data...

I have only flown for 16 hours total and done the static run down on the bats at the 20 or so charge up times. I have mostly practiced at 20 to 30 foot altitude with circles and figure 8 s but mostly at full power. should I be getting more flight time. I thought I might just set it at a hover...

If you used the kitchen sink and a large pc of Styrofoam you might get a quick easy and level .I have also wondered about using a level turn table for the HOR /VERT.compass calibration and if that smooth and level rotations would help pull more sats. Also what would happen if you used a 6...

It would be great to hear about your decision and were you pulled the power from if you do not go the self contained bat unit

I would check Lowes or HD at the Bat displays There are sveral very small and light single leds with there oun wire attachment wraps ,using a watch bat . I spent $7.00 for a disc (almost1/2 dollar size) with 22 leds but have not put the time to mount and power check " facalhobby.com part...

This is only conjecture on my part But I believe a cracked GPS antenna can pick Sat. connections while stable but gets erratic once you try to fly I am only 16 hours on flight time and its been a struggle in many ways. Perhaps others in the know will chime in

Drone nerds in Florida $60/hr 5 day turn around. 786-708-7807.These guys were great and willing to help.I was able to clear my issue on my own with there input. but would use them over a 6 week turn around from DJI. DJI is over whelmed

I flew a week ago and had no issues I deleted the ssid and re installed. The ranger finder is fully charged and the status light is flashing green but its seems to be a random flash. Should I consider rebinding thanks for the help Rob

Check the GPS antenna for a crack you tube has several vids on GPS up grades or remove and replace If you do the R&R make sure you have the right size phlips the screws holding it will bugger easily You can replace the ceramic antenna for under $10.00 The complete module is $150.00 plus

Thanks for the feed back I got lucky. She dryed out fine and made a short test today the wet crash was on Friday . She spooled right up with a 9 sat. lock and the flight and camera were fine The Bat. is another story we/ll see in a day a so. My question to day is ?? Could there be failures...

Thanks I hit branch 10/12 vertical drop into 5 feet of fresh water had it out in less than a min. With an angery beep and red leds It would not cut off so I pulled the Bat.. Video was lost . Took me a hour to pull the cover and most of the pins. I was not finding much water I had air...
