    A MUST learn before your fly VRS

    I took my quad out for some initial flights this weekend. I took it easy on descent keeping the speed around 1.5-2.5 miles per hour (0.7-1.1m/s) to make sure I avoided VRS... has anyone had a problem with VRS (using a Vision+) if descending at the max rate (2m/s)?

    Insurance (legal liability/damage) Info For Phantom (Aust)

    As a beginner I wanted to ensure I was covered for legal liability should my bird fall out of the sky (and onto a Ferrari or someone's head, not that I will be looking to fly over populous areas, but just in case I had a flyaway). Thought I'd post what I found here. CGU: However when I...

    Next Phantom? When?

    Agree and I don't see why DJI should try and reinvent the wheel. There's already a good 4k action camera out there (GoPro Hero 4). I would rather see DJI develop an all in one solution with FPV that allowed you to bolt in your flavour of GoPro 4 camera. I've just gone purchased a Vision+, but...
