    IMU Calibration while Sailing

    Hi there: In March the non-profit I work for purchased 2 DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ Version 2.0 Quadcopters. We wanted to use them while sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. Got them set up and tested on land, good to go. Once on the boat (and they had been stored in cases upright) got the IMU...

    DJI Phantom 3 Standard camera gimbal failure.

    Rebuilding a Phantom 3 Standard for a friend. It apparently hit a tree that leap out in front of it. Usual Yaw arm bracket and flex cable breakage which I have repaired before. (yeah, he’s not a great pilot). Now when it starts, the camera gimbals are pretty erratic and it doesn’t stabilise...

    Gimbal Floats and off angle on Startup

    When I start up my drone, the gimbal will go through itself calibration and zero itself perfectly. After about 5 seconds it starts to float around on all three axis, before centering with the camera tilted downward. Also when I yaw the craft, and gimbal will tilt left or right depending on the...

    Too Frequent Controller Calibration

    Is it normal before starting a new flight the controller always peeping to be calibrated? I'll calibrate the controller. Start the flight everything is normal. Put the drone away for a day and start another flight, but I have to calibrate the controller again before I start. This happens...

    Compass Mod Values on P4A using Litchi?

    So, I feel foolish. I went to fly my drone and got my very first calibrate compass warning. I tried to do it three times, but it was not working. DUH! Then I realized I was standing on a bridge, probably made up of huge amounts of steel under all that cement. Dumb. So I have since...

    My drone and me in Russia, no internet for 2 months

    Dear Pilots, I am completely new to the forum, but not new to flying phantoms. The picture is shot with me flying a P2. This summer I will go to arctic Russia (70 degrees north) with my P4a+ to film a documentary about research on geese. As I mentioned in the title, there will be no internet or...

    Flight no longer steady, flyaway/crash close call

    Hey Everyone, I have a DJI Phantom Vision 2+ That doesn't have that many hours on it. I can probably say it has only been on around 12 flights in its lifetime. With that said, the recent flights have become very unpredictable, with it not being able to hover steady, nor is it easy to land...

    Camera hangs at angle, rights itself after time

    Had a crash (my nephew, bless him). Fixed cable with OEM part. Drone flies and sends camera feed. Up and down camera movement are fine. But when I first turn it on, the camera hangs at a funny angle with one side dipped down. If I leave it on the counter for a few minutes, it gets back to level...

    Having trouble calibrating the compass

    I've had a good read, am stood miles from any metals, the controller, other objects, in an open field that is just mud. I'm wearing zero metal - I'd be naked if I tried any harder! I've successfully calibrated several P4P's, an Inspire 1, a Mavic Pro all in this exact spot. The P3S just...

    Gimbal unbalanced - causing video capture to pan to the right?

    Hey mates, Some time ago I made a rookie mistake and tried to fly my P3S off a narrow balcony. A gust of wind took it sideways and it crashed into the railing with reasonable force. The yaw arm was broken at its thinnest point, as were two propellers, but I fixed both of those issues, or so I...

My wife very generously decided to get me a drone for my birthday and spoke to the local DJi representative who recommended she get the DJI Vision...
