I agree it is very dissapointing. Fortunately, I have a second phantom 2 that is still on 3.04 so I use that for all my groundstation flights. The worst part is that DJI no longer lets us downgrade the firmware to any below 3.08 except for 1.8 (which does not work with groundstation on the P2)...

Kent, are you on Firmware 3.08 (or even 3.06)? I am willing to bet you are. Ever since upgrading to 3.06/3.08 I have the same kind of behavior as you are describing. It is like there is some kind of new interference with the datalink cause by the firmware, or the power distribution to the...

I have tried both an iPad mini (retina) and iPad air and iPad air 2, with same results.

On firmware's 3.04 and earlier I got great rececption on both my Phantom 2's (both running 2 different data links). I could go out in some cases as far as 4000+ft away and still have a connection with groundstation. Now since 3.06 and 3.08 if the phantom 2 is 50 feet away it has a problem...

Unfortunately, that is the problem...any Phantom 2 firmware 3.06 or newer causes terrible reception with the DJI datalink. I have submitted this issue to DJI tech support and I am awaiting a response. -Scott

What version of firmware are you running on your Phantom 2? -Scott

Thanks....if it's not a fix to the Phantom 2 firmware that will correct this issue, maybe DJI will release a firmware update to the datalink itself (ground and air ends) that will fix it. -Scott

I am not sure why DJI hasn't fixed this....I know it is indeed the firmware, because a few months back I ugpraded 2 phantom 2's I have (both with DJI datalink) from 3.02 to 3.06 and that;s where I noticed like night and day, the poor reception. So i downgraded them both back to 3.02 and they...

This is a problem with the latest version of the Phantom 2 firmware....every since 3.04, 3.06 and now 3.08 the range and reception of the DJI datalink are terrible. Only firmware 3.0 and 3.02 work well with the datalink. Unfortunately ever since 3.08 we can no longer downgrade to 3.02. I...

It is general connectivity and range of the Datalink that are effected by the 3.06 update. Basically, I will have a mission ready to upload, and I usually manually have my phantom take off to about 80 feet up or so and then start the mission. With 3.04 and earlier versions it would upload...

I upgraded my Phantom 2 to the latest 3.06 firmware, and now my Groundstation range/reception is terrible. I checked to see if there was possibly a new firmware update for the Data Link as well (both air and ground ends) but there is not. I have had to downgrade my Phantom 2 back to 3.04 so...

I also use this site to check elevation changes relative to where I am flying from. http://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google ... titude.htm

GoPro Hero+ black, and I have the DJI Zenmuse H2-2D gimbal on there.

Very cool! I live within Half a mile from the Mississippi river in St. Louis, MO. Here is a video I took (from my Phantom 2 (Gopro) with Ground Station) earlier this month https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUCI_7Y0uQ8

I found a simple solution to this....I basically mounted the GoPro underneath the FC40 phantom via the phantom anti-jello mount, and Velcro'd the FC40 FPV camera to the from the battery compartment. It works pretty well, though I am struggling with some wobbliness at times with the craft (even...
