We have one whopper of a swimming pool here in Buffalo Wyoming, if fact it the largest swimming pool in the state of Wyoming, and it if free for anyone who wants to swim. The pool is 120 meters X 80 meters, that means that 10 laps the short way across the pool is 1 mile. The pool is...

I bet in the near future DJI will release a new and improved camera for the PV2+

I have a Phantom Vision +, but the these videos were shot with an older Phantom Vision (no plus).

I have been up in the Big Horn Mountains here in Wyoming testing out my new DJI Inspire 1 helicopter. Below is a video on YouTube where I compare footage between the Inspire 1 and my old helicopter, the Phantom 2 Vision. Below is 1080 Video, can be viewed on a standard HD monitor...

Thank You for the Advice

I took a 60+mph face plant on my snowboard the day I shot the low level lake footage, 14 days later I'm still shaking that one off. :D Chuggie

I was about 5-6ft over the water. I was using the ripples from the down draft of the helicopter to judge the distance from the surface of the lake. Thanks, Chuggie

Greetings: I bought a new Vision+ one week ago, and I have been having great fun with it so far. I took it down to Summit County Colorado and made a number of flights around 12,000ft elevation. The Phantom seemed to perform well at high elevation, even though my descents in the thin air...

Re: PV Power Loss, Vision Drops from Sky, Need Advice Well, I tried everything suggested in this post, and tried flying the Phantom again. I had 4 successful test flights this afternoon with no problems. On all of those flights I kept the phantom no more than 6 feet above the ground so if...

Re: PV Power Loss, Vision Drops from Sky, Need Advice I changed batteries in the transmitter recently and put in Duracell Quantums.

Class B Airspace is restricted. Experimental aircraft and UAV's should not operate there.

Re: PV Power Loss, Vision Drops from Sky, Need Advice I hope they get a brand new PV out to you soon. The switch for turning the Wi-Fi on and off is on the camera, if the camera got wet in the two inches of water where the Phantom landed, it could have affected the switch. I am still trying...

Re: PV Power Loss, Vision Drops from Sky, Need Advice Hi Pull Up, During the first two un-controllable descents the 30% low battery alarm had already gone off, and I was coming in for a landing. During yesterdays un-controllable descent it was very bright out and the copter was 100ft...

Re: PV Power Loss, Vision Drops from Sky, Need Advice Hey Pull Up, I couple of months ago I did have an issue with the LED's occasionally blinking red. Cleaning the battery data contacts seemed to be a temporary solution to that problem. I did a software update and have not had that...

Well, I tried everything suggested in this post, and tried flying the Phantom again. I had 4 successful test flights this afternoon with no problems. On all of those flights I kept the phantom no more than 6 feet above the ground so if there was a problem the crash would be minimal...
