    IMU, Gimbal, & RC Calibration - not available

    Just upgraded the FW on my P3Pro. Want to check IMU and calibrate IMU if need be...but they are "greyed out" on the sensor panel. When touching "Gimbal Auto Calibration" nothing happens (I had no problem doing either prior to FW upgrade). Likewise, when attempting RC stick calibration the same...

    RAW setting freezes P2V+ camera

    When I relaunched, I switched back to jpeg. It's flawless writing jpegs and video (at any resolution of frame rate). I prefer shooting RAW so I have more flexibility with the files in Lightroom. Is there a way to "reconnect" without having to land, shut down, and start over? Thanks -

    RAW setting freezes P2V+ camera

    When I set the camera to capture RAW, it now freezes - i.e. the camera icons are grayed out. Initially, it will snap the RAW image, and once that is done, the icons gray out & the camera goes into video mode. But I cannot change any settings, or return to the camera to switch video mode off, or...

    Video "Flashes"

    hey Dirty Bird - I always use manual ISO settings, EV -.3 or -.7, depending upon conditions, and still get the continuous ISO changes. So hard to see, in a little smartphone screen even when using a hood, when the lighting is changing like that!

    Video "Flashes"

    I've taken my PV2+ up for a couple of flights since upgrading...and am getting the same "iris flashes," no matter what settings I use...exposure compensation, iso setting...and the direction in which the craft is pointing doesn't make a difference. It's very frustrating, indeed.

    HELP! Sudden Power Loss/ Imbalance at start up on PV2+

    Help! My Phantom has been flying fine but suddenly it seems to have only a fraction of its normal power at start-up. My partner is holding the PV2+ (high over his head) so we can "feel" what is happening. We can tell, just from the sound, that if he were to let go the unit would fall to the...

    Power Loss

    I flew it just fine, while in Mexico. Packed it in it's case very safely...opened it up to fly (after all the right calibrations, etc)...loss of power. I bought it directly from DJI (Hong Kong). Any other ideas?

    Power Loss

    Just returned from a trip, unpacked my PV2+ (all batteries full), ran through the Assistant Software, calibrated the compass....ready to fly on a perfect morning. Powered up the Phantom...but power was no where near full. One side (couldn't tell if one, or two, rotors on that side) had less...
