    I gotta stop reading these forums.

    Hey Mate, Is that umbrella an official DJI accessory? If not, did it void the warranty? I want to "pre-order" one! If you connect the antenna to the main umbrella shaft it should give you excellent signal strength... :lol: Ron

    Updated hard case info

    Richard, Muchos Gracias for the link to Tradecraft! As for a travel case, I personally don't plan to travel (much) with my Phantom (at least in commercial airplanes). However, there are many loose "bits" to bring to any location and the basic pieces can be easily damaged (my FPV is an iPad...

    Lens defect in new P2V Camera

    If you plan to do mostly panorama visuals (stills mainly) with your Vision, consider purchasing the lens filter adapter ($15 USD) that DJI offers. I just got mine recently and it was simple to install. Then buy a set of graduated neutral density and polarizer filters (46mm) to screw into the...

    Updated hard case info

    I ordered my HPRC Phantom Vision Case on Jan 6. So far, the UPS guy hasn't delivered one to my door. :cry: I have received 2 backorder updates and apologies from B&H. The weather is the Big Story here and I haven't missed any opportunities not having an all-in-one transport case....yet. No...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I haven't looked through all 39 pages on this thread but I also did a search and didn't find a specific answer to my question. It appears that the Rotorpixel gimbal will accommodate the DJI filter adapter. Have you done any flight time trials with the gimbal AND the filter adapter carrying a...

    New filter holder install

    I just received my filter adapter and mounted it last evening. EZ-PZ. But do it on a broad white surface so when the 3mm screws slip from your fingers you won't spend 5 minutes on your shag carpet trying to find them! I ordered mine from 1uas (see previous post here). $15. (+ shipping). I have...

    bad pixels in vision camera

    At the end of the day, if DJI's firmware update to save to DNG format doesn't fix the poor files problem, the next best option is to go to Ragecams and have them replace the Vision camera with better glass with a narrower FOV. This may ultimately be the best route anyway - even after a DJI...

    Answer from DJI

    LandYachtMedia, Thanks for the tips and your kind offer to resource/convert a DJI DNG photo file in Davinci Resolve. :shock: For others here NOT in the Hollywood post food chain, this amazing Davinci system is $30K ...oh, did I mention you then need to add approx $15K for the necessary...

    What happened to the tutorials?

    Hold on gentlemen: :o Here are just three quick url's I searched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItFBLPlsHc0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga8Gt8BMYj4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bxjL7wFyb8 I just went to YouTube and most (if not all) the tutorials on the Phantom 2 Vision are still...

    What happened to the tutorials?

    Arrrrggg...er, Argo! :shock: This not Good News, and the parent company needs to get on this within a couple days and post a letter on this forum. The move on removing tutorial videos is really poor, regardless of who owns what. If DJI ANTICIPATED sacking their MAIN U.S. spokesperson, they...

    Vision lens capability question

    Mactab- I am an optimist for $1,200 investment (not including iPad Mini). I remain somewhat excited, although I have come to a reasonably informed conclusion about the Phantom Vision's shortcomings as a "pro" platform. I'm in the NYC area. I've been shooting with Phase 1 backs (and all the...

    Vision lens capability question

    Mike- wow, thanks for the fast response! That's what I thought. I am a pro location photographer and have been shooting digital for years- and before that, film. Pros know that high-quality files are produced with "GOOD GLASS"- (i.e. optics); sensor size is a secondary consideration. Yes, the...

    Vision lens capability question

    I'm awaiting delivery of my P2V and I will be using it to shoot still photos - no video. I haven't been able to determine whether or not the software controller FPV apps (I'll be using Apple iOS on an iPad mini) will allow one to change the image circle in still shot mode (DJI calls this "FOV"-...
