    Does it make sense taking drone to Tenerife?

    I had a look at the no fly and restricted zones and it seems, it does not really make sense bothering, does it? Parks are no go, only a bit of Western and southern shore. Any experiences?

    Recreational drone use in Ireland - Irish Aviation Authority

    Re: Recreational drone use in Ireland - Irish Aviation Autho Must see this video to maybe educate myself even more, but from what I know those rules are too restrictive. Common sense is the way to go for me as well, why would anyone stop me from putting my videos on youtube if I don't get a...

    Remove gimbal for learning flights?

    I still think it is unecessary but then again, learning to fly on a 1200$ Aircraft is a bit foolish, with or without the camera on. I was not even thinking about FPV mode, phantom app presents many useful hud info like satellite and battery status and this is important for me regardless of...

    Remove gimbal for learning flights?

    Completely unnecessary if you ask me. Once you fly a bit with Hubsan, Phantom will be piece of cake. Also, removing the camera will make you rid of information like satelite count, battery health and this could be vital if flying in Phantom mode, which I presume - you will. I would leave it...

    Lost my phantom :-(

    Great news but wasn't it a bit silly to buy a new one so you can search for the old one? I wanted to come over with mine and help you search but no word from you...

    Well there goes $1400....

    Without the app you may not even be aware, that you have lost your gps sat lock or even better, you did not record your home position. What can I say, from my perspective, it was really irresponsible what you did. You risked flying over water, poor LOS WITHOUT any basic info, like sat count...

    Still Debating

    They don't get new stock to have on shelves if you ordered and they ordered with Dji than they will most likely order one for you. Anyway, have fun with your toy.

    If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 READ!

    Re: If you just purchased a brand new Phantom 2 Vision+ V3 R Ridiculous, why don't you just fly whatever you have without looking inside and worrying in advance? There is no way of telling what esc you will have inside. By opening the shell, you are voiding your warranty so good luck with...

    Converted my P2V to V3

    Geee, you do love your Phantom, don't you? So much investment in it you could easily buy something better altogether? :P

    Still Debating

    It is not crazy, I was researching for month before I made up my mind. This year will be very exciting, lots new drones and competition for Dji. It may be worth waiting for Hubsan X4 pro or see what go pro will show, they are supposed to release a drone or at least that is what gossips say...

    Still Debating

    I thought as well that I would add rotorpixel, then upgrade range extender etc, but adding rotorpixel itself increases the price of Vision to more than regular Vision+. Anyway, I got quite quickly disappointed with it, sold it and bought Vision plus V3. Rotorpixel is two axis gimbal, VIsion+...

    Lost my phantom :-(

    To be honest, I am not so sure anymore that it would help in recon from above, unless we have an ipad (decent size screen) to see everything in reasonable detail. Also, resolution would have to be at least 640 which is not huge anyway, so flying lower would be necessary to be able to tell a good...

    flying in japan, recommendations?

    Make sure you can legally fly wherever you want to fly there, I am not sure if they are strict on drones, don't remember now. Anyway, be warned that flying anywhere there poses a risk of your Phantom being shot down by Gundam or Godzilla! :)
