Way easier is downloading one of the HUGE available sound effects libraries and use that :) No need for recording. A waterfall is a waterfall ;)

The resolution is there, but the compression (bitrate) just sucks. Specifically with fast moving images (like grass blowing in the wind or if you're flying over grass very fast). The compressor just can't keep up and everything turns one green mass. Check out the sharpness and resolution once...

Dude! That is no "oops"?! Why do you think it is "not flying near powerlines" is mentioned in the manual? And you manage to take off straight under them? Seriously, guys like you are exactly the reason why drones are getting banned everywhere. This is no pilot error, it's pilot stupidity...

If you say you did it on purpose it's actually a pretty awesome shot! Fits right through :) You do know your horizon is angled, right? Maybe you should calibrate the gimbal? Is that even possible?

Totally agree! The stuff rocks! Even with it's set of problems. Every high-tech product has its problems. No big deal.

I think it is some sort of ground effect indeed. There is probably a good technical term for it. I have experienced it too. If you try to hover close to the ground (say like 20 - 50cm off the ground) then after a few seconds the craft starts to wobble up and down. Sometimes very close to the...

In reading this thread I would not advice to buy a Vision at all. If you want to learn flying than just buy a regular Phantom 2 without any camera. Learn to fly the **** thing. Crash it, repair it, don't care. Then, after lots of flying hours, buy a Zenmuse and GoPro and use your own Phantom 2...

Incredible! Nice flying! Especially the circular motions around the boats are spot-on. Very advanced flying indeed.

Nice video! Some tips for your next session (and edit): - keep the phantom lower and closer to the action - try not to follow people around but "meet them" in your shots. Let them appear and disappear in your frame - avoid using yaw during shots. OK for framing but between in and out points no...

It sounds like your battery (and/or the connection thereof) short circuited. Are you sure the battery was plugged in properly? Maybe the connector was a bit wet or had some dirt or other particles on it? Just guessing? What about the damage to your neighbour's roof? Was it bad? Sorry this...

My guess is that you've got more difference between battery's than between with or without power to the gimbal and tx. Testing it would never be a valid test if you use 2 different batteries or 1 battery and recharge (because of small differences in charge capacity) :lol: It is probably the...

But seriously, there must be a way to turn down the volume of that sound a bit. By firmware hack/mod? Of maybe we should just ask DJI? I personally like the sound but it's WAY too loud. I can never power the thing up in the evening at home (for config or something) 'cause I'll definitely wake up...

Well, to be honest I didn't know it had to be for 2 seconds. That changes things. I thought just touching the position would be enough to shut the thing off ;) lol. No, now I do agree it would be a bit foolish to hold full descent, full clockwise rotation, full revers and full left for 2 seconds...

I see. But still in any case it would be quite easy to mistakenly do it anyway. It just seems like such an easy way to crash the thing? But probably that's my inexperience ;) Thanks

I have just flown my brand new Vision+ this morning. Awesome experience to say the least! It is my first experience with anything remote controlled in the air but I have competitively driven (electric and nitro) RC cars in the past. Anyway, I found something in the manual that made me a bit...
