Hi everyone,
My Phantom Vision+ arrived about a week ago and I've been really been intensively flying the Phantom during that time (at least 90 minutes per day particularly early mornings and during my lunch break at work).
I've read every flyaway story on this forum, on RC Groups and others and have been VERY particular in having a detailed pre-flight check list, careful selection of flight area, safe flying practices and constant vigilance and monitoring of any abnormalities. I've been very safety conscious and treat this as a test platform.
I've got to say that after about a week, the Phantom Vision+ has been absolutely FANTASTIC. No glitches at all and I'm surprised just how well the whole system works together. I'm pretty happy with the results of the smooth video quality and results of the RAW stills (although the lens isn't to the same caliber as my $2500 Nikon wideangle prime lens).
My only concern at the moment is that my vision+ is running flight computer firmware v1.08. That is the firmware that I've been running from Day One and I have NO intention to update it.
However, it seems likely that DJI will be releasing an update to the Vision app for my iPhone, I just hope that it doesn't require me to update my flight computer software.
The only issue with v1.08 is that " FPV mode" in the Vision app doesn't work, as my gimbal is always stabilised. Has anybody noticed this?
