    P3 a step backwards from P2?

    Geez you can't post a thread in the forum before Trolls like above come out after they've drank their DJI cool aid to criticize. Typical adolescent behavior. I've owned and flown quads for enough years to know them well. I don't and never had had problems updating their firmware. What I'm...

    P3 a step backwards from P2?

    I have had a P2 vision (original version, non plus) for over a year and have to say it has mostly been a flawless flying machine. Never crashed and apart from some frequent FPV disconnects needing a reboot haven't had any other issues. I've been contemplating upgrading to the P3 but despite...

    Taking a lot longer now

    Yeah same problem here too! Used to get a GPS lock within a couple if minutes. Now on 3.0 it takes nearly three times as long and often never goes over 6 satellites. The other day I was in an open country area with clear sky that I have flown out of dozens of times without issues. post...

    Version 1.08 of the Vision Assistant software

    Interestingly I upgraded to 3.0 and didn't really notice any stability issues BUT I did notice a huge delay in acquiring GPS lock. In identical location, in country side with wide open view of the sky and crystal clear skies it took 4x as long to get GPS lock. It sat at 5-6 sats for ages! I'm...

    Updated DJI APP...???

    Count me in with the same problem. iPhone 5S, app and phantom on latest versions. Consistently having screen go blank (working telem though) and never coming back unless I land and power cycle the phantom. In the end I changed to 15fps instead of 30 and it worked. Seems the Vision can't keep...

    F2V delayed fpv?

    After the app update I've also had FPV problems. Not delays but constant drop outs and no return until I landed and rebooted the phantom. I have an iPhone 5S. Never had problems with the older version of the app. After I changed the settings to 640x480 at 15fps instead of 30 it seems to be...

    Phantom Vusion Plus HDMI connection on camera!!!

    The guy from UAS systems says it "transmits HD video at up to 700". The Roswell guy questions him and he still re-enforces that yes it WILL do HD streaming...seems like he doesn't know what he's talking about as dji make no mention of such a feature and you'd think they would

    Phantom 2 Vision Plus

    Yep I noticed that too. In fact not just props but landing gear too! Have a look at the CNET video review of it and you can see several shots where the landing gear become visible in the footage. I think it's another case of DJI not really thinking it all through clearly....very common with...

    DJI webpage - Phantom vision 2 + new platform

    Did anyone notice in the video the micro USB port on the board of the Gimbal? He said "it's for downloading your photos to your computer"..... hmm why do I get the feeling the SD CARD might be embedded into the camera and not removable hence the microUSB download port? or is that an additional...

    Phantom 2 Vision Plus

    I can pretty much categorically tell you, you are wrong. I have seen spy photos of P2V+ taken by people a couple of months ago when they saw some unnamed chinese guys playing with one and the camera on them looked identical to the one in the CNET video....So I doubt a reputable publication would...

    Tradecraft PV2 case

    Yep unlike other cases, with the tradecraft you need to remove to O Ring seal BEFORE you fly. Unfortunately once done the case is no longer completely waterproof and can't be submerged in water (if you were to do such a thing!) Also Lipos should ALWAYS be carried as carry on and not checked...

    Tradecraft case improved

    Can you post a photo of the foam especially showing how far the foam is from the edges? I also got my tradecraft last week and I think mine is like yours but only way to be certain is to check the depth of the foam. I did try to leave the props on and while it's nowhere near as bad as a video...

    Phantom 2 Vision not going to suport Ground Station

    Actually reading that email from Jorge carefully explains what he means. -The Vision won't be compatible with the IPAD ground station...note "IPAD" -the "app upgrade" he mentions is referring to the iPhone app and as we have seen from previous screenshots that will have waypoint updates...

    Help Needed: Lost Vision

    You mentioned you were flying in Attitude mode and you were assuming it would "come Home" on control loss. Remember return to Home ONLY works in GPS mode. Flying in ATTI mode is risky if you are flying it far as as soon as control range is lost the phantom is pretty much gone...it will drift...

    DJI Groundstation announcement

    And unfortunately not all good news.....from the Facebook comments DJI Global posted this answering one user question. "Hi Clifford, you will need to add a Bluetooth unit to your Phantom 2 or Phantom 2 Vision to make this work."
