Ultasonic system error

[Scradam]

So this happened my first flight after firmware update. I wrote yesterday about lines in my pics. Overexposure indicator I was told. My EV was set to high. This was pre firmware and after not flying it for a couple of weeks. Did the update. First flight get a warning. I messed with the dial for the camera,and it gets too dark before the lines go away. Is this 2 separate issues. Or could that be a slow failing Phantom Advanced?

Imo, I think these are two separate issues. EV is for image adjustment while VPS is for flight control. Most people are having VPS error due to new firmware update. Have you tried to update your P3A to the newer firmware? http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-3/download

It's all update yes. Never had any issues prior to the update Aside from lines in my picture.

The lines in your picture is not an error and its an option. I forgot where to change that option. But, it has to do with warning you that what your recording is too bright. If you are in fact recording you will notice when you play that video back on your computer there will be no lines.

The zebra pattern is called Over-exposure warning. In the Pilot App, goto camera setting, click more and turn off over-exposure warning.... Bye, bye zebra....

Perfect. Hopefully lines will be gone next flight. Is it safe to fly with that error? Do I do an IMU calibration and see if it's ok from there?

VPS isn't used for much more than flying indoors with no GPS or auto landing.
It's very safe to fly with VPS disabled and you won't get those error messages.

Probably worth contacting DJI over? I mean could I have a faulty VPS system? Or should I turn it off an hope there is an update soon to repair whatever glitch is in the new firmware. Never had that alert until I updated.

Forgot to mention, I have 2 solid red lights at the front of the Phantom which according to the manual, this means critical error

DJI know about the VPS error and are working on a fix for it.
Just switch VPS off and fly happily.

Having the same problem with the ultrasonar error Meta4, best we can do is disable the VPS until DJI releases a new firmware update. From now on, I'll be going by the motto, if it aint broke don't fix it and applying THAT toward DJI's future firmware updates. I'm tired of being a guinea pig in DJI's cage.

Running 1.2.8 all day with no VPS issues, or any issues for that matter, this thin flies like a dream.
