Ordered on April 9th from Extreme UAS http://extremeuas.com/ He is a fairly new DJI dealer, and was offering a special with a free spare battery for one day only. A few days later he wrote to say DJI wouldn't allow him to sell below minimum advertised pricing, so I opted for a discounted spare...

I crashed a laptop, was able to pull the two 500gb hard drives, order cases for them from Amazon, and use them as USB drives. I was also able to retrieve all photos and files from them. Worth a try!

I ordered this offer with the free battery and free shipping. He is a new dealer, no firm date but since I already have a P2V an extra week or two wont hurt anything. Have corresponded with the owner Corey quite a bit and he seems legit, great quick communications, has other related business so...

It would appear the quality improvements are these, correct? If you already have a Vision and especially if you have a gimbal you are happy with, the delta as compared to the V+ appears to be distance and the 3-axis gimbal. Camera quality remains to be seen, as well as whether the camera might...

Wonder if any of the components can be retrofitted to a Vision? Seems like the wi-fi extender, camera, and gimbal could be put on a Vision platform, in theory.

I fly a Phantom 2 Vision, but am helping a friend who went with a Phantom 2, Zenmuse H3-2D with GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition. My question: is there any way to see the Phantom 2's battery usage displayed on the ground? On my P2V it is displayed through the Vision app, but on a non-Vision Phantom 2...

Great video and a beautiful family in a gorgeous setting! Really well done, nice editing.

They hand-carve each one from blocks of highly compressed silk fibers spun into webs by specially-fed orb spiders.

I found these RAM mount components that fit the 3/4" ball on the Vision phone holder arm. I use lots of RAM mounts on my boats for tablets, phones, GPS etc. The standard ball sizes start at "A" which is 1/2" and jump to "B" which is one inch and they get larger from there. The ball on the...

I am using the damper pads that come with the camera, and have no jello effect at all. The camera mount platform sits free on the rubber damper pads, but if you slide it for or aft a 1/4" it will be hitting one or more of the vertical landing gear struts. If you shift so it's not touching any of...

Received mine today. Ordered (confirmed actually, ordered the day before) on Jan 14th. Have some other projects i have to finish first but hope to test fly this weekend. Manual here: http://dronexpert.nl/manual

Yes, many large-city American TV news stations have helicopters for news coverage. Especially if OJ Simpson lives in their coverage area. And yes, the news often tends to feature anything at least slightly shocking ("If it bleeds, it leads.") Not sure if that is entirely unique to US news...

http://foxct.com/2014/02/07/faa-investi ... ash-scene/ It's worth the time to read some of the comments below the above article.... including a few recommending that police should use drones for target practice whenever they see one, that all Americans should shoot them out of the air using...

Interesting reactions already from the media and blogs. While I seriously doubt the drone operator violated any laws, they certainly violated common sense and decency. Here are three reaction so far: http://foxct.com/2014/02/07/faa-investi ... ash-scene/ The headline for the above article, from...

Here is what I have received as a status on my own gimbal from dronexpert.nl... my order was confirmed one day before yours, Jan. 14... however I can only fly on weekends so you may well be trying yours out before I get to test drive mine. Please post a status when you get it and let us know how...
