There is still a confusion everywhere between RC signal and video signal.Wow, you shouldn't have lost signal so close. Here's a few tips:
1. Select a flight channel that's not busy. Do this manually using "Custom channel".
2. When you select the channel manually you'll see a "transmission quality" slider bar. Set that to the minimum at 4mbps
3. Install the channel hack into your Go app to get 32 channels. The upper channels of 28 to 32 are much quieter to extend your range.
4. Never fly behind anything. When flying via FPV is important you always have LOS in scenarios like yours. I spotter can help with that as you fly FPV.
I still don't understand how you could have lost signal that close by. I appears you were only 200' away. The only explanation is the tower you were shooting was emitting 2.4Ghz wifi, but I doubt if that's the case.
You got lucky there.
It should be possible to calibrate the gimbal so it's level. You may also have to set a small offset in the gimbal menu. I had the same problem with the horizon on my Phantom 3 but I think I solved it.Yeah very very close! Really? Is that the only way to get rid of it? It really sucks that it isnt level!
Thanks
does god intercept the control signal to ensure we get them back from events like this then?The over hang on the building looked like it was going to get your props once it started going up . **** lucky . Thank god you got it back in 1 piece.
I was leaning towards a P4. However my recent encounter with DJI telling a prop flew off my P3 (that didn't) because a motor spun up. The data they sent me shows a motor revving up, but it also shows another motor shutting down or failing at the same time. My P3 is trash parts because they won't repair it.wow not impressed with p4 obstacle avoidance system
OMG, how did it not crash!?Had my first crash and close call with my Phantom 4, lost rc signal and it started to return to home, thanks to the obsticle avoidance system it didnt crash, but it was hella close
