    Vision+ versus Iris+

    Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending upon one's perspective, in the US we are required to maintain LOS while flying. IRIS+ has no trouble reaching these distances, plus more! IRIS+ specs: Payload capacity: 400 g (.8 lbs) Radio range: up to 1 km (.6 miles) Flight time: 16-22 minutes...

    Vision+ versus Iris+

    Drop-dead simple, no-hassle install. Should take minutes to accomplish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw1jjYG ... UXc6J5vtkA

    ??? ... IRIS+ = $750 ... How does that equate to 2x the price?

    Stick With What You Got

    You are right promocop - The Inspire does NOT require a two person pilot configuration. Some folks just type anything they think, or their perception, instead of researching facts. Leads to confusion.

    GPS cable

    I agree with happydays, hand catch is the way to protect the bird, gimbal, camera, and all things precious to us:-) I try to bring it down directly over my head so I can just reach up and grab the landing gear. Then apply full down throttle for a few seconds to kill the engines. I figure if...

    Let's see some videos!

    First attempt (successfully) to integrate dash gauges into my flight video, then convert and edit into a movie. Using Vision+ Utility, Dashware, and MS Movie Maker BONUS: Find the misspellings (there are two!) and win $100 --- just kidding! Today's attempt is a wimpy (in comparison to...

    Do others share these concerns?

    Thanks Phantom Phixer - I appreciate hearing from one who actually does the repairs on these units. Do you recommend any particular fixes/mods other than those already discussed on this forum?
