Wow! Just....... Wow! What a wonderful gesture! Truly inspiring. Made me smile. :) And glad to see you got it up... errrrm... the Phantom

I prefer #Don'tPanic

That's pretty much the same as the P2V+

It does look a little confusing though. Two types of Vision.. one that can take stills and one that can take video. It doesn't look like both versions can take both video and stills. I might consider buying the camera and gimbal for my P2V+, if it can do both, and if it can retrofit.

Considering it's just been released, a stealthy promo can be forgiven. ;)

What drone&camera&FPV equipment do you use, and what software for editing? Pan and tilt aren't always the smoothest with the P2V+ ;-) Do you do many retakes? I was particularly impressed with that fly-through, between the two peaks. I've tried that a few times and nearly soiled myself with...

sounds like something is preventing your gimbal motor from turning.. we could be talking thousandths of an inch here.. if it moves freely by hand, then it could be a bad motor or ribbon contact, or the D-slot might not be keyed to the shaft

Correct, and that's in the manual. Press and hold for 5 seconds and it will indicate battery life.

Shadow, if you can't get it repaired, then you'll need to disassemble it, put the bent part against something solid and flat, place a piece of wood between it and a small hammer (so you don't dent it with the hammer) then softly tap it flat again.

****.. missed it.... oh well.. a good site to bookmark

I'll check, and I can't recall seeing a red flash. I'll have to watch for that. The batteries were new in Dec (along with the Phantom) and have had maybe 8 hours (25 flights) each.

Since updating the app, I get that message all the time. I could be on 50% and suddenly I get, "Note enough battery power to return home." I also now get the horn going off sometimes when I make it climb hard, as if doing so is some sort of warning against draining the battery too fast.

Sorry to hear, Dirk... My wife calls my Phantom, my pet. I guess it's a lot like that. And when you lose a pet, it's definitely a loss.

Once in every 30 or 40 videos I forget to stop the video before turning off the battery. If you realize soon enough, just power up the battery again, then wait a minute, then power down again. You may lose the last few seconds, but I've only completely lost the video once.

Another article like this was posted a couple of months back. And while comparing a drone hit to a bird strike is debatable, no mention has been made of bird strike on small planes an helicopters.
