Thing I find with the Phantom?

[denodan]

I find low down, my Phantom drifts, but if I leave it, seems to drift in a rectangle like pattern, go high up seems more stable, less drifting? Is this common? I presume higher up, you're getting a better GPS signal so less drifting, but presume you still get drifting anyway as GPS is not perfect so may get drifting a little in a rectangle pattern?

You cannot purchase them in NZ. I did have trouble with mine. So got a refund and had a new one through Ebay arrived Friday.

It's because the higher up your phantom is the less you will detect it drifting unless the drifting is severe. Is your control in atti mode? Top rights switch ? Or gps mode?

Atti mode and mural mode allows "drifting" :arrow:

That is expensive. Got mine through Ebay $800 nz with Postage. Would not get one here, when I can save Over $150, your still going to have postage on top. Cheaper to buy off Ebay. There is one seller $699 US with free postage. Got mine from him is 5 days.

If you're low to the ground, there will be more turbulence. Wind acting funny around surface objects; higher up the wind will likely be more constant, though probably more powerful.

Is more stable when you get about 3 meters from the ground.
