flashing slow yellow on second spin vertically. Then if i wait about a min or two it gets GPS lock and rapidly flashing green..which is when it locks into satellite. It flys fine, but I'm puzzled about calibration, like i said when i hook it up numbers seem very low?

Re: Customer support from DJI is terrible now - they changed I really enjoy flying the phantom, but no after being brushed off, numerous times...even after speaking to the LA office and yes i forgot to list that its still open. When i called even them they cut me off after about 5 minutes, the...

So, Went to call DJI now and it seems like they have 5 or six different hobby shops listed. And get this, I called one for support and they asked me if i bought it from them and I didn't. The guy says well i can only stay on the line and answers questions if its within 5 minutes only. He then...

yes double sorry your right..the rapid green is gps lock i think. yes I don't get the sold green after the second vertical calibration. Thats exactly right. Based on the number i'm seeing in the compass check imu or whatever its called. my number look off and maybe thats whats causing the...

thanks flynfrank, But i haven't done any modifications on any apps. All i did was hook up the unit to macbook pro to check calibration numbers. I haven't gotten rapidly flashing green lights not since i had the unit at the beginning. So now when i got that message i was hesitant to fly it..i did...

So I took the quad up with me to Canada. I've been having problems with getting the rapid green lights after the second rotation vertically for some time now. I took the unit out and on my phone it had an RC Compass calibration needed. I returned it back on, never got the right calibration, but...

Is it true if one turns on naza mode but is using the older firmware it will try to update the firmware first?, because i really don't want to have the slow descent, airport 5 mile thing come into play?. I also was on the phone with a technical person to find out more about Atti mode. He told...

Creel, thank younso much for this information. I will try naza today for a short flight. Thx again

Phanamon creel you described the behavior in atti mode and in manual mode which seems the most difficult and advanced for an op to control. The atti mode when using maza is moving s1 stick to center, what do you have to do to go into manual mode. If one goes into atti mode, can you go back to...

Thank you for all your input. So if you are in naza mode and pull the s1 switch down to the center it doesn't rely on GPS anymore and then it is totally in control of what you do with the sticks. Does Atti mode, mean the phantom will be prone to not hovering in one spot like it does in GPS when...

I tried to get control and had it for a little bit but then as Dirty Bird has said, it did say Going Home. Your right. How do you switch it to ATTI mode, is that with the S1 Switch in middle? and then does it let you take over? I am so use to just flying mine with no problems I better learn all...

So, I was helping someone fly their dii vision 2. It wasn't the gimbal model. I told the operator to make sure his transmitter was fully charged, which unfortunately never got charged to fully green. So, Im always flying phantom mode. I don't bother with naza, just keeping it simple. We got it...

Not that its a big deal she owns a parrot ar drone 2.0. The dji drone used to photograph her property belongs to a worker, at least thats what this article says. Either way thanks for sharing enjoyable article and yes its nice to hear something positive.

Also, the article claims they paid 400-600 for the drones...they would have been better off, just landing the **** thing..wherever it was in the hudson river...losing the drone for a 600 dollar loss....running away..they would have had a difficult time finding them...now they had to hire a...

The problem these jerks are gonna run into is the laws that prohibit phhotography of the bridges due to 9/11. If these guys had been flying at 300 feet maybe they wouldnt have gotten caught. Its obvious the copter probably saw it and went after it and the cops are claimiing they almost hit it...
