Did all the calibrations, as I always do. 10 plus flights with 0 crashes, been flying RC for 30+ years. Green steady blinking on the system lights, 15 minutes into the flight the Phantom starts wobbling like crazy. Came down fairly easily, didn't hit too hard but now the gimbal is toast like he said. At 1 1/2 weeks old I am a little miffed. This was not pilot error, and now I have no camera.
I had an almost identical situation except I was 119m above home position, I activated RTH and it descended as expected, at about 60m started oscillating, tried to regain control going from GPS to Atti mode, did nothing, no control until just before impact with ground. I was able to give it enough thrust to make impact minimal. There was no damage at all, not even a grass stain but the gimbal now does not work. I have a Phantom 1 with gimbal and Gopro and have flown it extensively with no crashes at all, the Vision + was only 3 days old with 5 flights and no prop guards.
I also live in the country where there is no possibilty of RF interference, it was a still and sunny day, the FPV advised it was coming home and had video all the way down until time of impact. The place of purchase have sent it off for repair but, in my opinion should have replaced it.
