    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I did some extrapolation based on the posts I saw on the Rotorpixel Facebook page and calculated that they were producing gimbals at about 60 per week. At which, Keri was quick to respond and clarify that they are actually producing at 100 per week. So take your order number, find out the most...

    Concern about Rotorpixel

    Regarding your lost Phantom, I don't know if you able to retrieve it because something similar happened to me. I was hovering over a body of water when it lost all power and fell like a rock. I contacted my vendor and DJI and after about 3 months of back and forth they replaced my entire quad...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I'll tell you what... All these stories about people waiting since April... and some since February.. Is what's keeping me from ordering a RP to be honest. It's easier for folks that already have their RP to say, "be patient." But just looking at it from an objective/consumer perspective...

    Rotorpixel gimbal for Phantom Vision

    I'm hesitating in ordering a RP. I think it was hard to predict the amount of demand RP was going to have, so it's understandable to have a 2 month wait. However I think the concern now is having to wait indefinitely. Hopefully the new manufacturing process will speed things up.

    Mine just fell from the sky tonight

    My P2V fell out of the sky as well in January of this year. It fell into San Diego Mission Bay. I had to go swimming to retrieve the craft, exploding battery and all. I managed to save and finish compiling the video from the flight. The videos just stops the moment the craft fell, which...

    Phantom Vision Dropped Like a Rock

    This is the last image that the DJI VISION app displayed: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vcd01mcj469hjnd/photo.PNG I have the PV on my insurance, but I don't think my insurance will cover... My camera dropped in the water..

    Phantom Vision Dropped Like a Rock

    Was flying my PV this past Sunday (1/26) with a new battery I received in response to some of the "bad battery" issues that were going on last October, November, etc... Had a few successful flights.. Had the PV hovering over the edge of the water at Mission Bay in San Diego, when the PV seemed...

    Invalid Battery on Phantom Vision..Advice needed.

    Hi RemE, This is probably one of the most in-depth analysis I've seen on this defect. Question: Since you've applied DeoxIT, have you experienced the invalid battery message? Cleaning the battery data contacts seems to help, but it doesn't give me 100% confidence to fly higher and further...

    Invalid Battery on Phantom Vision..Advice needed.

    I will. I forwarded DJI's e-mail to the folks I bought it from and I also replied to DJI's email asking if replacing the Phantom itself would solve the issue. Could be a flaw in the actual hardware. There is supposed to be a firmware fix this week, from what I've read, that may fix the issue...

    Got this from DJI: Dear Carlos, Please contact the person in Precision camera & video to help you on the replacement. Thank you, Dealer Technical Support | DJI | www.dji.com Pretty disappointed...

    Now that they're trying to appeal to a larger demo... I hope so :(

    Invalid Battery on Phantom Vision..Advice needed.

    Update on my end. I emailed both DJI and the Precision Camera as my distributor. I got this response from Precision Camera: I haven't heard back from DJI yet. These companies can only do so much. I don't know if replacing the batteries will actually solve the issue, but I'm glad that...

    Invalid Battery on Phantom Vision..Advice needed.

    Just wanted to add to this post. I've had the DJI Phantom 2 Vision for 3 days. I JUST experienced this issue while filming at around 250ish feet above a high school football stadium. There was a band performing… Fortunately I was far enough away to get the craft down safely without hurting...
