I have had my Phantom Vision Plus for 6 months and have really liked it. I consider myself an experienced pilot with it and it is my third multi rotor machine. Recently I used it (on New Years Day) at my cabin. It was on a beautiful winter day about 36 degrees and little wind. I always calibrate...

I did not know that but am a rookie this year. Is there a way to test the compass before liftoff. I always do a compass reset but with the NAZA mode don't remember the sequence of lights that should appear. Thx for the input

I am using IOC more and more but still find it occasionally inconsistent in it's flights. Using Court Lock, it will appear to be on course then the next time I change direction, it does not follow the course. My question is - does the number of satellites make a difference in the accuracy of...

I do not use an ipad so do not know about that. I use a pc, but it also works on my Galaxy Note 3. But youtube is a google product so maybe that is why it works so well on my Chrome browsers. Might be a case where the functions are harder to find. I suspect if you google "youtube editing on an...

You should be able to send the un edited footage directly to YouTube and edit it in YouTube. YouTube has all the tools you need.They even have hundreds of tracks of royalty free music you can add. They also have as very nice way to annotate the video. You can do all of this prior to actually...

I am relatively new to the NAZA-M mode on my phantom 2 vision +, but using IOC I do use court lock all the time to get good video of waterskiers. I have less time using the "home lock" feature, but my understanding is this will allow you to control the drone basically in a circle around the home...

My biggest problem flying the Phantom 2 Vision + is seeing the phone screen. I use a cover that helps a bit but it is still very hard to see. I use the system to take video of water skiing and it is hard to pick up the skier until they are out of the water, then it is often to late. I use the...

You were right.I updated the pc assistant and downloaded the new firmware. My first flight, it auto came home before my battery alarm went off which I did not like, so I need to change some settings. Thx again

I now have quite a bit of experience flying in NAZA mode and as long as I keep it in GPS mde and have at least 6 satellites, I think it works the same as "phantom mode". I have not found NAZA-M mode to be a big problem or risk. I have about 3-4 hours of NAZA experience now.

No I have not. When I check on info on the pc assistant it tells me I am at 3.0 and there are no updates. Maybe I can just download a newer version -ill try. Thx for the reply.

Any idea when this will actually be available. I log on to my PC assistant and it does not find any upgrade other than 3.04

opps, couple more things. took it out today and the maps were there, but their orientation seemed a bit off (close streets / roads roads were not parallel to the actual roads) so I chickened out. One thing I read is that you have to put your first market over the the spot that represents the...

Hey thanks so much. When I did this previously, a warning came up that I was not connected to the drone, so I stopped. Thi time I just swiped and got to the GS part and a map appeared. So I think I am ok.

Some issues to get started. I upgraded my firmware and my android app. I now have the selection button on the mobile app for ground station. I do not have any maps. Can't seem to figure out how to download an app. FAQ's suggests if you have an internet connection maps auto download. I do not...

I have to agree with RocFlight. I am having trouble imagining that emergency where you have the time to shut down the rotor to avoid some calamity but give up the Phantom in the process. If it is truly needed maybe but I guess I would love to know of an exampe that really happened. Otherwise if...
