Agree with the upgrading potential for sure, but I have an addictive personality and never know when to quite doing mods, improvements on these things (seriously). Also, I kind of like the white 'skin' on the Phantom because I can put vinyl graphics on it (company logo, etc.) Also, at dusk those...

Because the Phantom is a substantially better value for basically the same ship as a 450 and for $670 it is 100% ready to fly, transmitter and all - kind of a no-brainer.

Depends on the dealers policy - would prefer a refund and then wait for the next version to come out a few months down the road. New products are always 'buggy' at first.

OK, I was waiting for this one - always happens eventually when the personal attacks begin simply because I made a decision that someone else may not have. Further, I beg to differ strongly about this hobby "not being for me" just because I returned a defective unit. I have owned and flown more...

Too late, it's now in the hands of the dealer I purchased it from, besides, even if that little 4" cable was the problem (very unlikely as it looks like it's a high quality cable), I still would have returned it for that.

Yes I registered it as requested during the setup process initially. The fact is however that the phantom should be recognized as some sort of USB device whether you register with DJI or not. But like I said in earlier posts that I may as will just have a plain cable plugged in With nothing at...

Everything on my Phantom looks exactly as the pics show. This has never been flown, so crash scenario is out. The problem is not with connections as all have been thoroughly checked - besides, if there were a problem in this area, the phantom would no react to transmitter inputs etc. which is...

Don't understand your question...

Hmmm, Not sure if the Phantom has a VU to change out - the only 'removable' part I see is the Naza-M

Thanks, but like I had mentioned twice before in this post, I have tried 3 different PC's and the result was all the same.... and yes, I tested all the USB ports with flash drives, etc. to make sure they were not the problem

I was REALLY hoping to avoid the hassle of a return since it would involve up to 2 weeks total turnaround and I'm sure he'll just blame it on the computer anyway since the quad itself is working. I was really was hoping to have a great first experience with my Phantom after reading dozens of...

Yes, flashing only when connected to the PC

A real longshot here, but I noticed my transmitter batteries are a bit low (1.4volts per cell) - should that affect whether or not the Assistant Software recognizes the Naza/Phantom?

No other ideas, huh?..... anyone? Bueller, anyone?

The strange thing is, I got it to work yesterday for a time. After coming back home later last night and plugging it in - nothing at all - it was like I was plugging in a simple USB cable and there was NOTHING that transpired between that time with either my computer or Phantom.
