Can anyone say whether the compass on their DJI Phantom was messed up after being shipped across borders after passing through security scanners? this would help in my decision making.

I just wished I had seen the DJI forum before I bought the Phantom 2 Vision. The vision sounded so good, so many features, now the compass got messed up and the GPS won't work. :(

I recently bought a DJI Phantom 2 Vision in December 2013, it arrived with the compass pretty messed up and needing calibration. No amount of spinning round and round like an obsessive dog chasing its tail could fix this. The DJI app kept saying that the Vision needed compass calibration and...

"utterly deceptive twaddlespeak" the battery is not $23 at least not for the phantom 2 vision.

well that is pretty cool nisouck how did you get the video so stable? The phantom 2 vision is a bit jittery. I jiggles a bit. Anyway I shipped my vision back to the dealer yesterday. The compass went totally haywire and once that happened there was no GPS lock or satellite detection. I am...

I did the compass calibration a couple times and the offset went to around 2m. Had several good long flights and it was great. Today I went to take a flight and the compass needed calibration. I couldn't get the calibration to work. I hooked it up to the pc and the raw compass mod value was...

Well I was expecting some offset with height but I think this is too much. I did the advanced calibration and the offset then was -2.1m. I thought that was fine no problem I can work with that but when I took it outside I got the GPS lock (blinking green LEDs, 7-8 satellites) it held the...

I have always been fascinated with flight. I would make elaborate paper planes from a craft book when I was small. Then I started playing flight sims and I got into rc helicopters. I just bought the DJI Phantom Vision 2 and I have been having some fun with it.

Ed, 10m offset sounds like quite a lot. I did the advanced calibration initially but I am trying again tonight. It's telling me it is too hot for the calibration and that I have to turn it off and wait for it to cool down. In the meantime, my raw compass reading values are: x = 50, y =...

Sometimes I have the GPS lock before take off but not always. I think I have gotten flashing green or was it solid green? I will have to check that back. There are some buildings nearby. I will retry the calibration tonight. When I first got it out of the box the compass was very messed up, the...

My DJI Phantom Vision 2 is giving me some bad reading for the height. The compass calibration was really messed up when I got the quadcopter. I am at sea level and and the height reading on the iPhone app will tell me that the height is -3m at ground level. The last few flights I have seen -8m...
