[size=14.666666984558105px]New here and new to the phantom drones. I bought it used for $80 just the drone. Bought a battery and charger for $50[size=14.666666984558105px] and a controller for $40.

Sounds like something is not working correctly. Are you sure the drone and RC are bound?

So when you did the linking process, did you press the linking button on the drone?

Yes, they are linked and all lights are solid green. The link light on the drone, the light on the controller, and the light on the gimble.

Anyone have any idea here? I’m lost and have tried everything

How did you update the firmware with the drone saying disconnected?

Can you not still manually update by just putting the firmware on the camera SD card?

Are the rear lights on the AC red , or green?l

I am wondering if he doesn't have two different firmware, one on the controller and a different one in the drone.

It only says disconnected while in the app. I have problems with it on my iPhone and iPad, which I read was common. So I used my wife’s galaxy phone and everything was perfect. All lights are solid green, gimble, link button on the drone and the one on the controller. No lights whatsoever on the drone arms. It is all updated. I didn’t pull the sd card out and update it, I just did it through the app. I hooked my controller up to my iPad and it is up to date.
