    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    Ok, here's the graph that caught my attention the most from the iOSD. This is the graph of the Flight Mode or control_mode as it's refered to in the viewer. As you can see, at the very beginning, the mode was GPS (0). For some REALLY strange reason, it went to mode 1 (Waypoint mode) for a short...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    Absolutely true Peter, and as you say, the iOSD log viewer needs to show meaningful scales on both axes and also display the information in a much better way; especially when combining information from different variables. It's NOT the best viewer by far. Also, if for example (like in my case)...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    Well, you haven't provided any useful comments except suggesting to get insurance, and that's NOT going to prevent anyone from crashing. You can call it whining or whatever the heck you want. I just decided to post what happened to me so that other fliers would be careful. It would have been a...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    gtranquilla, that's true, and proving that there was a problem with the equipment is not easy. Fortunately, I had the iOSD which saves a log of every flight. I have the iOSD log file which I sent to DJI, and of course, they haven't responded (and probably won't). However, tonight I'll go ahead...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    Just one question to finish this non-sense: wouldn't you rather NOT crash and maybe kill someone because the car accelerated by itself, like a very well-known case in the US?

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    Insurance companies are a "necessary evil", and an "after the fact" solution. Yes, if they respond as they should, they'll cover any damages you cause. However, I rather prevent crashing against something or someone, than paying them after damaging their property or killing someone (not with a...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    Like jazzboy says, flying UAVs is illegal under MANY situations in many countries (not just in the USA). I'm sure in case of a claim they will first investigate if any laws were violated before paying a cent. And, if you're flying over a populated area and hit somebody, that'll be a violation of...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    kloner, no one is trying to RELY on suing DJI in case of an accident, but I'd like to know how an insurance company is going to compensate someone's family for you killing somebody with your heavy lifter.

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    soler, from the very beginning, and after analyzing what went wrong with mine, I have thought that it's a problem with DJI's implementation of the interface with the JR/Spektrum satellites. I think they rushed to put out that feature without really testing it. In my case, I'm using a Spektrum DX18.

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    kloner, I can't see how showing your octo flying for 36 seconds proves anything. Obviously, the problem doesn't happen all the time and with all installations, but there is something wrong under some circumstances. I'm absolutely sure it was not caused by negligence from my part, as the...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    I'm pretty sure it's V2.00. Since you're using a Futaba radio, I think you probably won't have any problems. However, the problem is not "testing" the RTH feature. As I mentioned before, I had tested it and it had worked fine. Also, you can always get out of it if you see anything strange with...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    CG Photo, I don't have here the exact version information, but what I can tell you is that all the modules' firmwares were up to date as to about a week ago. With respect to the gimbal output, I was using the tilt control for the H3-2D which is found in the channel assignment screen. I was...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    Peter, Unfortunately, there's absolutely no responsibility from the manufacturers around the world, and when something goes wrong they either ignore the users or automatically blame us saying we did something wrong. I know sometimes that is the case, but when experienced users have these types...

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    @CG Photo, I have the POI disabled because I rather do all the flying myself. I only have the basic functions enabled. I even have the battery monitoring disabled because I know many people have had problems with those features too, like you have. I keep an eye on my voltage through the iOSD. At...

    @rilot, I just crashed yesterday. I don't know what FC I'm going to put now on my Gryphon. Definitely NOT the A2!!!!!!!!!!

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    @jazzboy, Yes, DJI doesn't give a sh*** and they don't even respond to customers. I have written to them before and they never respond. I wrote Robert at UAVPRODUCTS (where I bought the A2) and also told me to write DJI. At the end, nobody assumes responsibility.

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    @hexacop, I'm using the A2 with 2 DSM2 satellites and the Somenzini 18 channel Spektrum radio. Besides the A2, I have the DJI iOSD and at the moment was using the Zenmuse H3-2D. Nothing that should have any incompatibilities.

    DJI A2 PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY (New firmware may change my opinion)

    I don't usually make posts, but I think I need to write this one. I have had a Droidworx SkyJib 8 for about 2 years, with a Wookong-M controller. I have never had any issues with it. Recently, I decided to build a Gryphon hexa and bought the new DJI A2 controller. HUGE MISTAKE!!!! I do aerial...
