    So, here is where I am. Really like the shutter control option of the Vision, and FPV but am really concerned about the fact it has no gimble and it's inability to interchange with other cameras, inclusive of swapping to a GoPro or other camera down the road if I wanted. It just seems (while...

    Yea, kinda leaning that way myself. My priorities with this thing are ranked as follows: 1: Range 2: Video Quality 3: Still Quality 4: Camera Stabilization 5: FPV #Beatingadeadhorse.......The Vision seems like the easy, fast and out of the box way to get into this. Just don't want to get...

    At what height can you no longer hear the Phantom from the ground?

    Tell me more? I still may go Vision (simply because as verse I am with RC's, not sure I have the ability to build from scratch), but you have peeked my interest.

    Theoretically, if I were to go up from the Phantom, what would be the next logical product to look at? Not certain that I want to do that because I can always start with the PV2 or one with GoPro and just scale back my expectations on what I will do with it, but its good to know what happens...

    I grew up in Durham, went to school in Hillsborough so you are near my old stomping grounds (many moons ago). Would really like to check out your Phantom if you ever have an opportunity.

    This is what happens to me. I start with an idea to get something which will likely serve my purpose and then I wind up thinking of all the other scenarios something better could accomplish. Next thing I either shut down and do nothing or I step up and drop an absurd amount of money :roll...

    Great feedback and I also thought about the "cleaner" aspect of 5.8, despite my limited knowledge of same. And I agree with camera placement, something that is always an question mark when we are trying to establish the best coverage for a property. It is difficult to make an assumption about...

    Great summary and thanks for the response. I also thought of the duct tape option, it is a cure all for many things :lol: Just to clarify though, no one will fly this but me so while I am by far no expert at flying it there will be no handing of the controller over to someone else. Low...

    can you expand on your first sentence? is there a difference in range between the phantom 2 and vision model? is there a model other than phantom which will give me more range? i think 300 will be sufficient in most circumstances but more would be nice.

    Sorry, I am a security consultant...so in my world it is Pan Tilt Zoom. I am most concerned with pitch on the drone camera, because I can realign the camera simply by moving the Phantom. Thanks to both of you for clarifying the functionality of the zenmuse. As you can imagine, I plan to use...

    So, surely this question has been beaten to death, but as a new visitor to the site and specific circumstances surrounding my needs, it would be great to get some professional opinion(s) on what to go with. I am carefully considering purchasing the Phantom II. Was looking at the Vision model...
