Hi... I'm a newbie, (phantom 2 with H-3-3D) and just starting to get the hang of basic flying. Love it, but kind of stressful when reading about all these flyaway problems.
I hadn't tried my "Fail Safe" mode - too nervous to turn off controller.
But today I had a scary incident, and HAD to use it. Than God it worked!
Anyway, I was using my GoPro iPhone app. Connected to camera, video showing, but camera not recording when I took off. Flew it around to practice. Then I wanted to start shooting video. I put Phantom in hover and pushed the record button.
I had video and camera was filming, but within a few minutes, I didn't have control of the Phantom. I pushed levers up and down, right and left. Phantom was about 60 feet up and 100 ft away. Nothing worked. Freaking out, I decided to use "Fail-Safe".
Well luckily it performed as advertised . Yay...
But can anyone tell me why it happened? I'm suspecting the wifi signals collided or something. Do any of you know if I should not try to use the app? What about the remote? I was so excited about these things.
Any help, explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
