Hello hopefully this is the place to ask this:
I am considering buying a DJI Phantom but all the fly-aways I've seen from the transmitter being the same frequency as internet routers has me doubting. Clearly I assume that's why the Phantom 2s transmitter is 5.8ghz instead of 2.4ghz. Why would DJI choose this oft-used frequency??!!
Anyway. About how much does it cost to update a version 1 Phantom with a new radio and add FPV? If this costs more than $600, then the $450ish price of the Phantom v1 isn't so attractive. May as well buy a Phantom 2 Vision. Or wait for the Phantom 2 Gopro, which I assume will be $800ish and then add FPV.
Advice here is appreciated. I plan to fly for fun and maybe sell some footage to clients (in 2015 with a permit of course, wink wink)
