    Awesome video, your channel has helped solve many of my problems! However my Phantom 4 keeps losing signal and disconnecting from controller even when it is clearly visible, do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Your latest videos are very helpful and unique in the TH-cam. Thank you !
    I got IMU error 2 times in mid-air on my P3, and it's very scaring, it drifts away, só i need to manually do a emergency return and landing on my own. The screen tilts about 30º, so do the phantom. It may be the case my IMU is needing a calibrate.
    Again, Thank You from Brazil!

    so I purchased a dji phantom 3 standard edition. it seems to fly ok but it will NOT auto launch / auto take off. it will auto land. it seems as soon as I start the motors the thing thinks its already off the ground the the icon for auto launch changes to auto land. is there a way to fix this or have I got a lemon and simply need to return it for an exchange?

    Can you list where you picked up that neck strap?

  • @7705030
    @7705030 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One advice,- instead of checking the table/platform for insurance of the leveling of the copter use glass plate on top of the motors as the copter it self has very good ability to be unleveled based on the position of the legs.

  • @Gershy13
    @Gershy13 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does the same procedure apply to the Phantom 3 aswell?

    • @TomsTechTime
      @TomsTechTime  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Basically yes. It looks a little different though, as the P3 has a single IMU only, but the procedure is the same. Stay tuned and fly safe.

    • @techprojector7009
      @techprojector7009 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      No...not every time...if you are facing unstable hover and frequent compass errors than calibrate the IMU on a level surface far away from EM interference

  • @AfreeIR
    @AfreeIR 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good instruction, should have included compass calibration too.

    I'm a ham radio operator. I want to use my Phantom 4 to put a small line up into a tall tree then haul up a heavy line to support a 102' wire antenna. Is it possible to use the Phantom 4 to do that? I'm thinking fishing line type maybe 50 lb test line. comments?

  • @linakagabrielsadventures1508

    When calibrating my IMU on the P4 it takes a very long time and I have not been able to get passed the second step, as there 6 steps..? any ideas?

  • @Ouzmiester8

    • @danielv301
      @danielv301 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. And it is even more important, since the P3 have only one IMU.

  • @davide7139
    @davide7139 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was wondering where the actual IMU for the camera gimbal on the Phantom is? I presume this is a separate IMU from the copter.

  • @philipandersson4349
    @philipandersson4349 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @user-jl4sv3nf1t
    @user-jl4sv3nf1t 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I do an IMU calibration it has me turning the drone on its side, back, front, and top. Why is this different from what you just showed?

    • @user-jl4sv3nf1t
      @user-jl4sv3nf1t 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tom Kelly: The first couple times I tried this it just sat there after the forth step.Then I noticed looking closely that it was waiting for me to flip on its backside. I think it was step 4 where it had stopped (4/6)doing anything. In the sunlight I was not able to see the picture clearly and that it wanted me to turn it. Look at the pictures very closely as you are calibrating. Don't worry, you can't mess anything up, cause eventually you'll get it straightened out. Once I knew this it whizzed right through the calibration. Second word of advise: Find a surface that is SOLID and cannot move. I did mine on the cement slab in my driveway, when I had tried inside my house on a table, the table moved enough to throw it off as I was turning it. Make sure the surface is perfectly level and stable. I ended up with almost zero's when I was done. Hope this helps!

  • @BuckBowen
    @BuckBowen 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If it appears your IMU Calibration is stuck on 2 you need to *DO WHAT THE PHOTO ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN SHOWS.* You have to physically mimmic the picture.

  • @jackquinndennis1636
    @jackquinndennis1636 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My only problem was understanding the word "sensor" as I took it as "center"... FYI us NBie's have to have a slow, even, clearly visual clue to allow us to follow you thru the steps... Or maybe it's just me...

    • @stephenpower1
      @stephenpower1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, it's not just you. I had to replay that section 5 times. I still heard 'centre' and it was only your post that clarified it for me. I also find the TTT Toms Techtime really irritating and childish.

TOO MUCH! If you want to tag an add at the end, great! But hard sell? I'm out! There are plenty of drone youtubers out there without hard sell.
