    Thinking of buying a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus

    I feel like I need to gather the details on how they check the version on it (just in case they don't know how to look it up). OK, so I sort of know how to tell if it's 2.1, by a yellow dot (need to find the post). I should probably also know the serial number of the copter, which I read should...

    Thinking of buying a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus

    I did of course search, but the comparison in that thread is between 2.0 and 3.0, I didn't know the one I linked not marked with 3.0 was a 2.0. Thanks. edit: says 3.0 has ESC 2.0... it's 2.1 I need, right? http://djiphantom2vision-plus.com/dji-p ... rsus-v3-0/ So I guess 3.0, later...

    Yup Just ordered a new iPhone. Was gonna go with iPhone 5s as the 5 and 5c were slower, and it's the cpu/gpu that is most important (5s has even 64bit whereas the other two don't). Here in Sweden an iPhone 5s cost about 500 euros, but noticed the new iPhone 6 cost about 100 euros more and...

    Ouch, so if it decides to go home (and home is somewhere else, maybe far away from the user) but is out of connection range, the user is screwed? (I know this is what you implied, but wanted to confirm it anyway). So, one needs to recalibrate the... compass(?) every time one moves to a new...

    Mmm, Androids seem to be cheaper, but I'm no fan of Androids, and I'm thinking of starting coding games for iOS again (did years ago), so need an iPhone. Also, needs to fit in my pocket so can't be a tablet :)

    Never mind my question about the differences between the two Phantoms in the links above. I will not order from Sweden, I'll order from the DJI store as I get an extra battery and free shipping. I would save 300 euro by ordering it from them instead http://store.dji.com/product/phantom-2- ...

    Thinking of buying a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus

    Aha, OK, thanks. Unfortunately it will not be enough with my phone anyway as it's too slow to handle FPV according to happydays. Too bad these phones are so expensive. I will definitely get some sort of tracking for it. Seen different ones and will decide which one to go for once/if I order a...

    Thinking of buying a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus

    I have some questions before I do that. I've watched a lot of YouTube videos (reviews etc), read loads of comments/post on YouTube and this forum. I see a lot of talk about bad batteries, that they stop working after only 15-20 charges, and even if they show 90%, they could fly for just 1 min...
