I was flying the other day and lost control of my phantom that I have flown now for over 2 years. It was airborne for about 5 min. when it start fling very erratic. Lost gimbal control and the video feed went to crap. I was able to turn it around and headed back to my location. RTH wound not work. As it got closer it made a couple of tight circles and I thought that was it but regained some control. It was all over the sky. I did manage to get it down on the ground but it kept wanting to take off again. It tilted over and stopped, NO DAMAGE. The next day I started to try and figure out what happened. Now you know its Christmas and I had received an early gift from my wife. It was a watch, A SMARTWATCH. I am always careful to turn on airplane mode on my phone but forgot about the watch. Your right, it connects to the phone using Bluetooth. I tested it today and the watch does cause strong interference. I have flown it again with no problems. Just wanted to let you folks know about this and to remember to kill the Bluetooth connection on your new smart watch that I am sure some of you are going to get for Christmas. |
