So I unboxed it and put everything together, charged my battery, connected camera and all that last night. I really had to resist the temptation to take it out and give it a shot but I behaved. When I plugged phantom in to update firmware nothing happened. It wouldn't let me calabrate my Tx or anything else. When I connected the cam and scanned Qr code I was able to link the cam and got it working but the only wifi connection I saw on my phone was the Phantomxxxxx, not the other one.
I took it to a field today and got the camera connected and engines started to take off. I goosed it and up it went just like it was supposed to . I flew it around for a while and got a feel for controls. I didn't want to go much farther than 100 yds or so but man it felt great. Got a little test video and then it starts to rain dammit! Cut my flight time short but I can't wait to do it again. Thanks to all of you for your patience and support!!
I do have a couple questions
1. How come I only saw the phantomxxxxx network and not the other? Camera and FPV work great?
2. Why did nothing happen when I plugged phantom to computer? I clicked the Phantom button up top and a pop up came up saying please connect controller. Also I couldn't get it to calibrate Tx controls. Nothing happened when I clicked start.
3. I bought a spare battery in a different transaction through Amazon which stated it was for the phantom 2, it fits and is the same amperage and mah but it's a different model number. Is this a problem?
733496-5200mah- is the spare one I bought separately on Amazon and the other is the PH2. Do I need to send the non ph2 one back?
