Thoughts on 3.04 Firmware

Hi I recently updated to this firmware and honestly I feel like my phantom seems much more stable then previously.... When i hover there seems to be way less drift. I definitely see a noticeable difference and its a big POSITIVE for me anyways.... Im gonna run a few more batteries threw it see if anything changes. Good luck
Did you guys hit the default button for the gains or just leave it where it was? I'm trying to decide which direction to go on this.

I use the default gains but do decrease the attitude gain to 150 as the 260 is too fast for my liking.

I hit the default button. Flew today for the first time with 3.04 loaded. Seems to fly great!
I've been flying my p2 without the gimbal on the past few days and noticed it really jerky with the attitude set to 200%
How much of a difference did you notice dropping your gains down to 150 for attitude? :shock:

I've never hit the default values, just left it as is but I'm pretty loaded up with humble, mini iosd, immersionrc and groundstation so I'm thinking of giving it a try.

Well, I never used 260 because I use the P2 for real estate photography and need smooth movement.
Just give it a try, it does make a very noticeable difference.

To answer your question, I did.
Here's my history:
When I received my P2 on 05/09, it had MC v1.06
I never flew it before upgrading directly to v3.02.
I flew it for the last 2 weeks, or about 12 flights, in light winds (5-10 mph) with no issues (J-hook, TBE, etc.).
It flies like I would expect it to, faithfully (I have 450 heli experience).
My mag. dec. is in my profile.
Yesterday p.m. I upgraded to v3.04.
Performed 'full' IMU & compass calibs.
I flew this a.m. and did not notice any changes from my previous flights.
v3.04 is a keeper for me.
FWIW: I live 900 ft. from a cell tower and have never had a glitch when using my T-rex 450 w/DX-7 from home.
I also am running 3.04 with no issues. I did lower the attitude gains as I found 260 a but too sensitive for smooth control.

Thats really good to know.
I also just recently had my phantom delivered on 4-30. mine was shipped with 3.02 on it ready to go. my first flight i had prop guards on with OEM 9" self tighteners. it was very windy. and i experien fed VRS about 6 minutes in when it got caught in a 40+ mph gust. tried to counter steer and locked into a VRS situation. only about 20 feet up but still really posed me off. since then i have removed the gimbal and flown naked. quad is very jerky due to its lightness i believe.
I am actually looking forward to this upgrade after hearing all the positive feedback.
gimbal is going back on Today too! :shock:

Kelso,
Thank your lucky stars you still have a phantom in one piece. Flying when there are 40+ gusts is asking for disaster to put it mildly.

i don't fly above 10 anymore. if the leaves are blowing i stay on the ground.tom3holer said:
I let that excitement take over and get the best of me. :shock:
i am still using the gains my phantom was shipped with... Just updated to 3.04 this morning. put all my FPV, iosd and gimbal back on and took it out for a quick test. winds on the ground were mild but as i got to about 100ft i could feel it drifting around in aTTI. nothing uncontrollable it was actually pretty fun.damoncooper said:
I noticed after updating my copter is less jerky then before and seems to fly smoother.
especially when flying in Fluid Pan Mode....

After loading 3.04 default gains selected but did lower the attitude as 260 was too sensitive for me.

my default gains for altitude are stock and at 220%
here is my test flight of 3.04 on memorial day in my backyard

Have been testing the 3.04 version for many flights now, and it seams my top speed has been decreased a lot. This is something Im not to fond of. Anyone else feel the same? I need to go pretty fast since I am recording fast moving objects.
Is there a way to increase the top speed of the phantom? Change the gains maybe? As for right now I'm using the default values. All tips are very welcome!
Thanks,
