I've had my Phantom for about 9 months now, and use it along with a number of DIY APM2.6 controller quads and tricopters. Generally, the Naza controller provides pretty good performance out of the box, BUT (and this is a big BUT) Naza Assistant is very disappointing, and communications are hit or miss. I've had long periods where the Naza will just not connect with the Naza Assistant on either a Mac or PC, and then for no reason, will connect (nothing to do with the cable, maybe drivers, I don't know). I've never had similar problems on the 3DRobotics APM controller ... both Mission Planner and APM Planner have much nicer interfaces, and as a big plus, allow settings through telemetry. I don't understand why DJI doesn't put a little bit of money and effort into getting a decent software app for their drones -- especially since they demand that all of the GPS and magnetometer setup be conducted through a USB connected app. Anyway, for now, I like the DJI hardware well enough, but the software would keep me from buying another DJI product. |
