Searched around on this site (and around the web) but could not find any reference to this. Is there any way to disable the camera on my Phantom 2 Vision from attaching GPS coordinates to all the still pictures? I really don't what that info on them, for the same reason I disabled this stuff on...

Cootertwo, thanks for that comment. Now I don't feel quite so stupid. :highly_amused:

Hi Scott! Welcome to the board. Hovering is good. In fact, a really good skill to develop well. It's how you save yourself from the agony of broken toys - ha. I had to do my first prop replacement because of in-house 'hovering' (which did not go well!). Now I do nothing in the way of flying...

Mine does that too, though I haven't paid much attention to it. I have no idea why it does that either, unless it has something to do with acquiring satellites for the GPS mode. I've since added a Flytrex Core to mine and figure the altitude readings 'might' be more accurate, though it uses (I...

Cute! :highly_amused:

Welcome aboard Radcolt... Good luck with your project. Being impatient, I just went ahead and bought a Phantom 2 Vision cuz I'm, well, impatient. Maybe one day I'll follow your lead and try building one from scratch. Oh, and try to eliminate the "crashing" part if you can help it. Ha! :)

So Steve - how'd it go? Are you up and flying?

I too was wondering what (if any) changes take place when you change the FOV settings. So now I realize it isn't changing the FOV. So I'll just keep mine at 140 and forget the adjustment is even there... :02.47-tranquillity:

I watched the video. That thing is HUGE!!!:culpability:

Just my opinion, but I don't think prop balancing is something you need to worry about right off the bat. Maybe later if you have a couple crashes (or less than perfect landings) and you've chipped the props. My Phantom 2 Vision seems to be flying just fine out of the box. However, I did buy...

Gee, with all that experience I guess I'll be coming to you for advice... :) Welcome aboard!

Welcome Cue! And DO hang out on YouTube for gazillions of vids pertaining to these quads.

This is exactly the way I feel. Each video should be better than the last - no matter what. Cool!

:highly_amused: And they say we're distracted NOW with texting and videoing while we drive? Just WAIT until we're flying our quads while driving. I can see it now. Stopped in a traffic jam, we simply launch a Phantom (or whatever Renault includes) and fly up front to see what's holding...

I don't know that I'd classify your video as "very shakey". There's a bit of 'correction' movement when (it appears) you adjust the view angle, but hardly "very shakey".

Exactly right! :upset:

Well, Laughlin is a bit far, but at least we're in the same state - :chuncky:

Wow! Petaluma. You're about the closest person to me here in Carson City, NV so far. My brother-in-law lives in Petaluma. So welcome aboard. I'm a newbie here too, and just got my Phantom 2 Vision about a month ago. Still trying to dry out my wet feet - ha.

Right on, Ed. I'm new here but I've been watching this whole DJI thing unfold, just after I got my P2V. So to me, this is good news for all of us... :cheerful:

All this is true. I've been practicing this A LOT. I've got a P2V and I'm trying like hell to get this 'controlled turn' stuff down so my videos look better. Much better... :tennis: Another thing I'm practicing is doing a complete 'around the target' video where I do a 360, but 40 or so feet...
