Any suggestions for "ideal" settings for the novice flyer/photographer? Since I don't have a good understanding of all the different camera settings, I've just left everything in the preset factory mode. Are there some different settings I could try to improve my photos. They look good to...

I found that review and read it again... It did say a 50% increase in speed but that's incorrect. I found the specs for the +...looks like no change there...15 meters per second on each for top speed. If my math is correct, that's around 35moh.

Did I read somewhere that the Vision+ flies 50% faster, but not recommended? Didn't the "slower" Phantom have the same "not recommended" at it's top speed. If so, what's the point of higher flying speeds if your not suppose to fly at those higher speeds?

I use the new IPad Air ... Works great... I would never go back to the small phone screens.

After calibrating my Phantom 2, I sometimes get a solid green light that never does flash during the entire flight. What does this mean? It seems to fly fine, but I can't find what the solid green code represents.

I want to test the "return home" feature on the Phantom 2. Am I correct to just flip the remote control switch off while it's flying and that's it? To regain control, do I just flip the S1 down??? Do you leave the S1 switch down for the rest of the flight or flip it right back up? Does...

Even for an inexperienced pilot, the Phantom is so easy to fly, I don't really see the need for prop guards. Unless your flying in a confined area or near obstacles, but you shouldn't be flying in those areas to begin with, if your inexperienced. I thought for sure I would need them, but...

I can't find any information on the S2 switch. I just watched an oversees video and the guy could flip this switch down and then pull the right stick back and the phantom would come back home without regard to orientation. This would be handy if you are a long ways out and not sure which way...

If your flying your Phamtom and find that you cannot control it for some reason and your "return to home" feature isn't working, is there a way to stop flight before it may fly off to a potential unsafe area to fly. I realize this would just be a last resort and your Phamtom would probably be...

Do you need a cellular Ipad Air or will just the WIFI version work on the phantom 2?

Would an Ipad Air WITHOUT cellular work with the Phamtom 2 Vision? I've seen different mounts for the tablets, but not sure about whether the lack of cellular service is an issue. The IPhone 4 I am currently using is inadequate and I already have the Air. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
