Will try again in daylight on Saturday, also going to keep an eye on possible condensation. Thanks for the replies! Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Had otherwise a great +20 min flight but noticed the error a few times on the app. It also said "fly with caution". Tried 2 times walking towards the bird (hovering at ~180cm) and only one time the app showed that it sensed an obstacle. Should the p4 move at this point or is it only that it...

Bought a p4 last friday and the battery was dead fresh out of the box, would not charge and the button did not perform any functions at all. Returned the whole thing on saturday and got a completely new p4 box as replacement. Surprise surprise, the battery was dead on that one too. Jumped...

New to phantoms and specially p2, but does it automatically go to atti when losing gps signal? If not try changeing it to atti and back and see if it would reboot somehow. In future remember to try the atti in case it looks like its flying away with no control at all. Sent from my ZTE Blade Vec...

I disagree. This thread in my opinion is the proof of calibration gone wrong two times in a row at a "safe" place, when calibrating with one of the apparent two different methods of performing the calibration. No red flags other than the afterwards speculation of possible reasons, wich i am very...

Have you done the vps calibration?

A little update on the situation. Had a friend over who has a p2 himself and he had a different technique in doing the calibration. He did not spin the bird in the same spot as i have done but he stood in the same spot and spun it around himself with his arm almost straight. Then he repeated the...

Now i got the forward and down sensors calibrated. Had to do it twice since the first time the software detected screen size wrong by 20 inches. Firmware update tab says that there is a month newer firmware available than the one i have installed. Weird thing since dji go tells me im up to date...

That is the only thing i left un-calibrated. That is the next thing i will be trying. Problem is that when the first time the problems occured (circling while hovering) i was at +100 feet atleast. In beginner mode first time flying the bird it landed steadily and smoothly several times.

Its a old traditional potato field with a sandroad going through it, family owned for over a century so i am sure of that there is no metal underground.

Thanks for the replies! Too bad this did not do the trick. Gained some confidence and walked out to the field and did the recalibration of the compass, all data was ok after this and 17 satellites with strong gps signal. Did not have anything on me and the controller was about 10m away from the...

Bought yesterday a new p4 and finally got to fly it today. Calibrated the compass and IMU (firmwares up to date according the app) and the whole first flight in beginner mode went well except a little twitching of the bird while steering with the right stick. This did not bother me since i hadd...
