    My flyaway story and what to do

    You obviously never had lawn darts growing up.

    New pilot needs current checklist

    If you have major paranoia like me, tether it to one of those dog stakes that screw into the ground, with a 50 foot length of poly rope (the kind you use camping) and just hover it at 20 or 30 feet for a few minutes to make sure it doesn't try and fly back to China. I only do this with a brand...

    Enough with the complaints

    These have to have flight restrictions, there is no way around it. As long as DJI installs it with them from the factory the onus is on the operator if the default software is modded, and one of these things get sucked into the engine of a 787 and kills 300 people. And it is absolutely going to...

    Enough with the complaints

    No you understand incorrectly. It was 100% my error and stupidity. I was rushing through things to quickly show off my vision to a buddy before he left my house. Didn't do any pre-flight checks, or anything, was just going to put in in the air for 2 minutes, and say seeya later. Secondly, for...

    Enough with the complaints

    I sent an email to Skynet, and they haven't replied yet. Will post update when they do.

    Camera is way to weak

    It is scientific fact that anyone who uses the number 69 is any way shape or form for an online forum username is a mentally deficient delta bravo.

    Enough with the complaints

    inb4 Cool story bro inb4 TLDR inb4 Wall of text I have been browsing this forum for a couple months now, and some of he complaints are absolutely ludicrous. DJI is in a damned if they do, and damned if they don't position. Some of the common complaints with a solid dose of hyperbole for...

    vision 2+ start-up sound

    Personally I would prefer the beeps were more in line with the way remote beeps, sounds more pro. The stupid little tune it plays makes it sound like a junky Chinese toy.... even though it kinda is.

    The '69' in the OP's username tells you everything you need to know.

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    LOL, had I ordered the rotor pixel gimbal when I was going to I would still be 2 months away from getting one. In that time the Vision plus was released: I sold my original vision with 1 battery for $1000. I paid $1299 originally and got 2 batteries. Bought a Vision+ with 2 batteries for...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    Had the RP gimbal been released in a reasonable rate of production I would have been all over it as an all in one solution, as I love the versatility of the vision.I have 2 needs for the thing, stills and video. But I have secured a few contracts to do some aerial video and still photography...

    The guy in the sunglasses looks just like Robert Duvall.

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    It's pretty obvious that these are being manufactured by one person, or a couple at most with the current output. I think there is a lot of smoke blowing going on, and this is simply a basement built cottage industry product, being veiled as a mass production item. If only 10-15 of these are...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    No, it is like going to Bestbuy, and the Sales person staring blankly ahead and refusing to tell me when they expect it back in stock. Nobody in 2 weeks has responded to a simple set of emails. That is simply terrible customer service. I get that anyone has the choice to order it, or not. But I...
