Greetings all,
I just bought a brand new Phantom 2 Vision. I've flown it twice, and now I want to upgrade the firmware. My problem is that I'm finding conflicting information on this. One video I found (and I can't find it again now), the fellow says that after the update, you have to recalibrate everything - compass, GPS, RC controller, IMU, all kinds of stuff. He also downloads a default settings file. It took like 30 or 45 minutes. Is this necessary, or do you just do the update and your done? I wasn't sure if this was for the older Phantom models, or if this is necessary for the new one as well. The user guide does not mention recalibrating anything after a firmware update. The firmware update looks simple, all of the recalibrating afterwards does not look simple.
Another video (the German one), the fellow takes apart the RC controller and updates it. Yikes, do I really have to disassemble the RC controller right after I buy this thing? And if I do, does all of that have to recalibrated?
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can offer! Oh, and I know how much folks like videos.. so here's one from my second flight, shot two days ago:
