    3DR Solo - Leaked Specs & Pics

    As a company 3DR are top notch for customer service, to be fair, that's an understatement, they're World class. I'm from a DJI background but switched on the basis of the customer service alone, I think Phantom users especially get a really raw deal from DJI, especially in Europe. I'm in the...

    Phantom 2 Vision Plus violates the injunction?

    DJI have settled with Colin Guinn out of court so I imagine he's a happy man now given both he and his staff are back in the multicopter world and no doubt DJI would have had to have made a handsome settlement you'd imagine. http://www.uavhive.com/2014/08/01/dji-c ... t-of-court

    Phantom 2 Vision Plus violates the injunction?

    The Phantom is better, especially for aerial photography than the IRIS, at least at the moment, the reason being the IRIS is too heavy so struggles once a gimbal is attached. However, the flight controller in the IRIS is the Pixhawk and IMO it is better than the Naza by some margin, given it...

    Phantom 2 Vision Plus violates the injunction?

    Colin Guinn is now with 3D Robotics it would appear, 3DR haven't done a press release yet but nor have they tried to deny the fact on Twitter or Facebook today. If he ends up being active on YouTube, FB or Twitter it'll be interesting to see if he lets anything slip about his time at DJI...

    Looks like DJI have finished auditioning for "New Colin"...

    Re: Looks like DJI have finished auditioning for "New Colin" They've even copied Colin's video framing and camera angles. I'm sure Colin will make it back in the limelight one way or another in future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XyiCwW4qPc

    Using a phone as a GPS tracker

    If you're in the UK, I'd use a Fi-Li-Fi tracker which is essentially the heart of a GPS phone with special software. They don't interfere but should be away from the copter when doing a compass dance.

    Remotely controlled lights

    I've never done this on a Phantom but on other copters I use one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Turnigy-Re ... 0699377303

    Does anyone know what make the vision camera is?

    Whilst I have no technical detail to be sure, to my eyes the images look very similar to a GoPro 2, the dynamic range appears similar, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had the same sensor. I guess someone needs to take a Vision apart and find out for sure.

    Random Emergency Landing

    Colin doesn’t design DJI’s tech, that’ll be done by the division in the Far East. The US outfit appears to be a marketing venture, which is Colin’s background so comparisons against Steve Jobs or Bill Gates aren’t really appropriate, the one person in the multicopter business who may live up to...
