    the new vision + v-3

    i was assuming the newest p-2 has a v-3 version..if so that is probably a good bet. i am going to check the dii site now and see if there is anything new as this is the roll out date.

    the new vision + v-3

    You might be waiting a while for that. The inspire should have a better camera..but from what i hear if you want that the best bet would be a hero 4 and the newest version of the p-2 unless you want to drop twice the money. i am impressed with the hero 4 video quality..wow. i am thinking of...

    the new vision + v-3

    that is my understanding,but they have been known to make changes that deal with defects without telling us. one example if the shielding for the g.p.s. that man of us have done here ourselves. apparently now that is on the new v+

    Flight in Precipitation

    that is my thinking as well. I have seen people put p-2 components inside of waterproof shells that work fine but i don't know how long the components last. I think also the unit should have some sort of venting to operate properly for stability. maybe just adding a shield over the vents that...

    Vision 2+ wifi units fix and why they are dying.

    awesome info. thanks for checking this out and posting. i MAY be getting a vision + to replace my p-2 but am waiting on the Inspire details first. if i do get a new vision + i will be taking some things apart and will post my findings.

    the new vision + v-3

    I am wondering if anyone has got the new version with the upgrades and can give us a review? my fear has been they make no change to the camera and i still will be hesitant to buy one. i might end up with the inspire..not long to wait for the unveiling now!

    About to purchase a Phantom.. which one for me?

    one thing to add. buying from Amazon will get you a better return policy..mine had a fly away and hit water..killed it. i called dji and they said go buy a new one. amazon gave me my money back after i told them it had a good g.p.s. lock when it took off. i would buy a new p-2 with the new...

    Anyone Tried the Walkera Scout X4?

    Walkera is not quite up to par quality wise. Take a look at the camera cost..it is around $100..nowhere near a go pro. I also hear the scout is a heavy pig in the air. lets face it, the Chinese don't respect their own citizens,not to mention other peoples citizens. It is all about the company...

    Drones on a leash?

    i can see it now..somebody uses this technique over a football Stadium and when the cops come he says..no way its legal! hop boy.

    combining a 550 and p-1with fpv set up?

    thanks for the input..good point about the g.p.s. i know she had it rigged for twin batteries but it was so heavy you didn't get much better time if at all and it didn't fly well. i was wondering if there were more efficient motors that would work with it..?

    combining a 550 and p-1with fpv set up?

    i have friend with a p-1 with fpv set up on it but it has only about 8 minutes flight time..dont know much about the flame wheel series but was wondering if everything on the p-1 would mount on the flame wheel and if it made sense to do? thanks.

    DJI (Phantom 3) Triumph?

    you can bet this was not meant to be released to the public..somebody leaked and they yanked it.

    DJI (Phantom 3) Triumph?

    we will see...who knows what they really will be putting out next and exactly when. all i know is we will likely know before christmas and the camera will better i will bet. personally i can't imagine light bridge on it unless they have like 3 models and that one would be over $2000. i was...
