    DJI Phantom 2 Vision + "Fly Away"

    I have had my Phantom Vision Plus for 6 months and have really liked it. I consider myself an experienced pilot with it and it is my third multi rotor machine. Recently I used it (on New Years Day) at my cabin. It was on a beautiful winter day about 36 degrees and little wind. I always calibrate...

    IOC inaccuracies

    I did not know that but am a rookie this year. Is there a way to test the compass before liftoff. I always do a compass reset but with the NAZA mode don't remember the sequence of lights that should appear. Thx for the input

    IOC inaccuracies

    I am using IOC more and more but still find it occasionally inconsistent in it's flights. Using Court Lock, it will appear to be on course then the next time I change direction, it does not follow the course. My question is - does the number of satellites make a difference in the accuracy of...

    Phantom 2 vision + video editing questions.

    I do not use an ipad so do not know about that. I use a pc, but it also works on my Galaxy Note 3. But youtube is a google product so maybe that is why it works so well on my Chrome browsers. Might be a case where the functions are harder to find. I suspect if you google "youtube editing on an...

    Phantom 2 Naza M How to fly a circle pointing at center

    I am relatively new to the NAZA-M mode on my phantom 2 vision +, but using IOC I do use court lock all the time to get good video of waterskiers. I have less time using the "home lock" feature, but my understanding is this will allow you to control the drone basically in a circle around the home...

    Virtual Reality Headsset

    My biggest problem flying the Phantom 2 Vision + is seeing the phone screen. I use a cover that helps a bit but it is still very hard to see. I use the system to take video of water skiing and it is hard to pick up the skier until they are out of the water, then it is often to late. I use the...

    Phantom Mode vs NAZA-M

    I now have quite a bit of experience flying in NAZA mode and as long as I keep it in GPS mde and have at least 6 satellites, I think it works the same as "phantom mode". I have not found NAZA-M mode to be a big problem or risk. I have about 3-4 hours of NAZA experience now.

    DJI is releasing the Ground Station function for Phantom 2 Vision and Vision+

    opps, couple more things. took it out today and the maps were there, but their orientation seemed a bit off (close streets / roads roads were not parallel to the actual roads) so I chickened out. One thing I read is that you have to put your first market over the the spot that represents the...

    DJI is releasing the Ground Station function for Phantom 2 Vision and Vision+

    Hey thanks so much. When I did this previously, a warning came up that I was not connected to the drone, so I stopped. Thi time I just swiped and got to the GS part and a map appeared. So I think I am ok.

    DJI is releasing the Ground Station function for Phantom 2 Vision and Vision+

    Some issues to get started. I upgraded my firmware and my android app. I now have the selection button on the mobile app for ground station. I do not have any maps. Can't seem to figure out how to download an app. FAQ's suggests if you have an internet connection maps auto download. I do not...

    Phantom 2 - CSC in mid flight results in catastrophic loss of altitude...

    I have to agree with RocFlight. I am having trouble imagining that emergency where you have the time to shut down the rotor to avoid some calamity but give up the Phantom in the process. If it is truly needed maybe but I guess I would love to know of an exampe that really happened. Otherwise if...

    WIFI signal booster app

    I saw on a recent Phantom 2 Vision + "checklist" a step called "start your wifi signal booster" app. I notice there are android apps that suggest they can actually boost the signal. Has anyone got experience using these apps and if so, a recommendation of which to use. Thx

    Phantom Mode vs NAZA-M

    Thanks ... you are correct. But I was thinking, if I use the NAZA M mode and then keep the S1 switch in GPS (not atti or manual) then would it not be in a safe mode as long as I keep the S2 switch set to off? If it is as safe, then I would not mind switching to NAZA M mode via the PC assistant...

    Phantom 2 Vision + Near Tall Buildings

    OK, seems to me I need to stay away, BUT... I really love those videos of big buildings in an urban setting. So, how closes might be to close? If I am a block away or two blocks away? Does anyone have any experience with distance from these GPS or wifi or wireless challenges. I recently did my...

    Phantom 2 Vision + Near Tall Buildings

    Thanks. Do you know if there is a way to check the interference level before I do anything. Maybe just on the ground or with another device...sort of an "interference tester"?
