Ben, have you had experience of the Black+ ? If so, can you comment on the quality of the still shots it produces please ? From what I understand the gopro range is optimised for video but apart from an opinion from a professional TV cameraman who I know who thinks the gopros are just toys I have no knowledge of them. He could well have been commenting on the older models.BenDronePilot said:
Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision
- Thread starter Shrimpfarmer

If you followed the content of the thread you will see I was asking a question directly to Keri and related to what he stated were some of the advantages of the RP gimbal. He specifically mentioned that it (the gimbal) could in future be used on other cameras and even mentioned the RX100. The gimbal is designed to be upgradeable to cameras and platforms other than the Vision.Geert said:
For me, this upgrade potential is a key part of the decision making process as to whether to buy one.
Edit: with further thought, I do understand your position, maybe it would have been better to have sent my follow up question to BenDronePilot by pm but then other people might also be interested in using the RP gimbal to fly an alternative camera to the FC200. Also, the recent rumours surrounding the V+ with a gimbal and an enhanced camera sort of brings the camera part of the whole equation into sharper focus (pardon the pun)
UPDATEAllanVB said:ah... lets see... if you cancel RP = $400... sell used P2V =$800 Add $100 = Maybe P2V+gfredrone said:
$100 upgrade.... but is it worth it...? Only you can decide. I am keeping my RP just so I can upgrade to 3rd axis and upgrade Quad. Also... looking for an adapter for the RX100
Ok, according to Amazon $1999.... that makes the upgrade $800... ah.. very pricey upgrade...
Yeah at $1,999 for a P2V+ I will stick with my RP gimbal and wait to see if they come out with a P2V++ or P3V with full 1080P FPV. That's the one thing I still really want. If the P2V+ came out with something like that I would be all over it.

It's called a P2 with lightbridge...
Yeah exactly. I'm surprised they don't try to include it in the next Vision though in a RTF version.

No, I've had mine for a couple of weeks now. Got it in the first batch that went out. Didn't have any major problems. Only had to play around with the settings for the power output to motors and the PID's. Which I think some of you taco guys have had to do as well.
There's a video I posted a couple of pages back. Took it out on a very windy day here in SoCal. Shows how well the pv2 and RP gimbal work

Nothing is truly Plug and play.. There is always some tweaking to do specially in this platform. We finally found the sweet spot on the settings for the taco.
This is the last vid before applying the final tweak to the PID.

I was excited about this gimbal last weekend when I ordered it (20140329), I ordered it the day AFTER I received my P2V. But a week later and between news of the P2V+ and my high order number (987), I just cancelled my order. I'll wait a couple of days and see if I can upgrade before I return the P2V as well
For those that cancelled: How long did it take to receive the money back into the bank account once cancelled? Did you get a notification that it's been canceled?
I ask because I canceled Wednesday. Got a response Wednesday night saying that mine may be shipping the next day or monday. I replied back saying I want to cancel... and here it is Sunday and haven't heard anything and the money hasn't been refunded.

I'm so sorry guys, I'm about to ask a question that could probably be answered *somewhere* in this hugely long thread...
What is the current ETA for a pre-order placed today?
The Rotorpixel web site needs amended to clearly indicate this, IMHO.. or maybe I missed it. I'm really excited about this, but never have been a fan of pre-ordering anything.

"If we were to guess, it is likely that new orders will be able to ship out in 4-8 weeks, but this number is still highly variable at this early stage of production."
At this point Monday marks the 8 week point from pre-order opening on Feb 10th, and it appears that a shipment Monday will likely complete most if not all of the orders from the opening day, making the 8 week mark fairly accurate. Some lucky folks got theirs in about 6 weeks before the short hold in production to address QC issues. Presuming those QC issues have been resolved the 6-8 weeks seems pretty accurate.

Its hard to say...quantities and timeframes are a bit elusive. Although Keri is currently ramping up production it seems a Pile is going out tomorrow.

Hi,
Noticed your post. If yours was shipped already for some reason & they didn't catch the cancel, I will buy it & even pay you more than it cost you. Just wanted to out that out there....

Its now officially on the DJI website selling for
Total: USD $ 1354.27
shipping starts on the 15th on April.
IT seems as though the camera has not be upgraded, just the additional of the gimbal .
I think i will stay with the rotorpixel gimabl and PV2 and wait for an upgrade to the actually camera and picture quality.
