Looks like an old post but I just ordered my new Phantom 2 Vision + last week and will have it pretty soon. I have lots of past experience with R/C on the ground (Electric and Nitro Cars and Trucks) but ZERO flight experience...well, minus the one time I flew a Cessna 172 during the first and only lesson I took--I LOVE flying but decided doing the real thing would in the end, just be a really, really expensive hobby for me. So R/C makes more sense and since I enjoy photography as well, here I am!
I would love to meet someone in the area with experience with these quadcopters because I have a feeling I might be too scared in the beginning to take more than 10-15 feet up, and be so afraid of tipping it on landing that I will eat up the entire battery in attempting to land!
