    Autonomy

    I can say that if you buy the Phantom 2 and spend the $199 to buy the data link (ground station) hardeare it's a very powerful tool. The ability to send a drone to a waypoint(s) and choose speed, altitude, heading, and hover time is impressive. As for "follow me" capability you're out of luck...

    Planning Altitude

    Sounds like a good way to crash into terrain. You can try a negative number but I'd be careful.

    Radio Signal Strength Icon 3 Bars

    RC Battery Voltage

    Only putting this here in the event someone else is curious about the RC TX batteries (AA battery version). It's not directly related to your post: I'm currently using the typical Duracell type AA batteries and I have 5V remaining after about 10 flights (checked in the assistant software)...
