So this is the video of the first crash, the original P2V. As you can see, it's not raining here, and I'm outside of my car, but the same exact thing happened? I didn't get a chance to switch to ATT mode the first time, but both flights ended the same...crash and burn. How could it be rain...

No, I'm not inferring it's necessarily an engineering issue at all. I'm just saying that something environmentally (like a cell phone tower) caused two crashes, one today in the rain, the first outside of the car in dry conditions to crash. If a cell phone tower is able to take over Phantom's...

Interesting, it seems that officially DJI says light rain. There's also a sales video they did of the Phantom flying in the rain. Re: Phantom weather resistance? by DomKane » Thu May 16, 2013 1:10 pm I'd like to think that so long as the mobile phone in your pocket is still working the...

Haha. I'm not going to disagree with you, looking back on it, I probably shouldn't have flown in the light rain. Look on YouTube how many others fly in the rain without any issues, and for this to happen twice in the same geographical area, the first time in dry conditions shouldn't be...

Dude, it was at a State Park with nobody else around me. I couldn't think of a better place to play around with my Phantom.

It wasn't really raining when I started flying, but the drizzle did pick up as the flight progressed. I have flown my Phantom Vision in much heavier rain then this before, as I recalled reading somewhere (looking for reference) that it was weather resistant, and there are many videos of the...

Here's the http://youtu.be/_73jkT0kzfsYouTube video of the flight, and I would guess 20-30 seconds before the Phantom finally crashed into the field. I lost control around the 12:00 minute mark http://youtu.be/_73jkT0kzfs?t=11m30s, as you'll see the Phantom begin to speed up. This is a...

I pre-ordered this from Amazon, who originally showed a release date of April 21, 2014, which quickly came and went without any notification from Amazon, so luckily my local hobby shop got 4 in, and I purchased it there. I also own 2 other DJI Phantom's, including the original Vision, and one...

Re: Phantom 2 Vision Seen Flying At Building Collapse in Har Thank you, I will search keywords next time before starting a thread. Deleted.

A man flying his P2V Over the Building Collapse was featured in several articles, including Gizmodo. http://gizmodo.com/is-there-a-drone-fly ... 1542174350

I have been trying myself to find an easy, plug and play you're FPV Goggle experience with my PV, and now a second P2 without gimbal which I bought soley for FPV / Goggles. I went with the SkyZone goggles from Fox Tech FPV, which I found bundled with a 5.8 32ch transmitter, and a Sony mini HD...

Re: Bellagio Water Fountain Show, Vegas Police Show Up For U So it seems these rules and regulations are for everyone but the federal government. Do as I say, not as what I do. Very helpful article nonetheless, thanks again for sharing. a. DOD owned and operated aircraft may operate at ADW or...

Re: Bellagio Water Fountain Show, Vegas Police Show Up For U Thanks NMG for that information. I will definitely consider whether or not a flight is really worth it. It seems pretty black and white now to me after reading your post that model aircraft are specifically included in the no-fly zone...

Re: Bellagio Water Fountain Show, Vegas Police Show Up For U First of all, thank you for your service to your community, second, thank you for your unique insight as a former police officer, your reply was logical and thought provoking. I do as much preventive measures before flight to lower...

Re: Bellagio Water Fountain Show, Vegas Police Show Up For U So after reading your post here on Team Black Sheep, I conducted a Google investigation of my own and can find absolutely NOTHING about them getting a bird confiscated by DCPD. Can you please source this, or your full of it. They...
