Is anyone else experiencing a sudden change in vertical position?
Also, even when gunning the throttle to regain altitude, the phantom may still drift down, but then it may climb, no rhyme or reason.
Weird, I can hear the motor slow down when it begins to descend but don't know if it is a NAZA/control issue or bad battery. Have tried original batteries with same results, so doubt it is a battery issue.

Have made a few mods:
- added Taco sup. gimbal (have not adjusted any parameters for added weight as of yet, however have been flying with this gimbal for a good 12- 15 hours w/ stock weight parameters)
- added beach wood props (however this was happening with DJI original props)
- have 2 new batteries (think these might be a problem source, but doubt it)
- have added an external 5.8 RC antennae (is it possible a bad connection at this point could cause incorrect signals to be sent/received by phantom?)
- have added external 2.4 wifi antennaes (can't see how this could be an issue, but open to suggestions)

I have performed the advanced calibration (on a glass table with no metal around nor electronics/magnetics/etc. in assistant software with these numbers:
x, y, z in the -300 to 300 range
and mod approx 1400 to 1500

Not getting any significant "wandering" or circling.

Is it possible there is a version incompatibility between the phantom and RC or something?

Cheers!
