    Invalid Battery on Phantom Vision..Advice needed.

    I just experienced the Invalid Battery warning and may have some insight to the problem. The data connection to the battery is not a solid contact, there are just two brass dots on the battery that touch contacts in the drone. Any oxidation could disrupt this connection, and it is hard to reach...

    Tips for smooth shots

    If this has been done before...too bad It's possible to get smooth shots without an extra gimbal, you just have to work on it. I have a couple of tips, but hope to learn more. Here's what I've learned: 1 - Don't try to correct the direction of the Vision during flight. Every course correction...

    Video editing software...

    I use ProDrenalin to stablize when necessary, and edit the footage on an Avid. If you are a student or can use a student's ID, you can buy the Academic Avid for $299. It is exactly the same as the $3000 Media Composer.

    It didn't work, but I get the idea. I'll be more careful to stop the recordings properly.

    video file will not play

The first clip is fine, the second will not play. I am using a 32Gb micro SD card, formatted in the Vision. i just reformatted...

    Quad video hobby getting oversaturated yet?

    I think we are living in the days when LSD was legal. All it will take is an incident or two and quads will be regulated as to where they can fly, like RC planes are now. Enjoy and be careful.

    iPhone 5 hoodi or glare cover?

    There is no sun today. I held it under bright spotlights in my wife's studio, and it was a big improvement.

    iPhone 5 hoodi or glare cover?

    I just made this out of black foamcore and Gorilla tape. The pieces are pinned together with straight pins, then taped for reinforcement. It velcroes to the phone clip on the transmitter. I can't report yet on how well it works, I chipped a prop yesterday and can't fly.

    If you just want to see the video on your Iphone, do yourself a favor and reduce the resolution on the camera. Your Iphone can't display 1080.

    Limited capacity on micro SD card

    I replaced the supplied 4Gb card in my Vision camera with a new 32Gb card. Yet after only a few minutes of video, the Vision app said the card was full. I put it in my desktop and looked in Properties, there weren't even 4Gb used. Anyone know what's going on here?

    There should be a way to use an existing app like Google MyTracks to log the GPS feed from DJIVision

    Recording flight information

    Yes, I'm new here, forgive me if I ask questions that have been answered, but I did search first. How do you record the GPS information about a flight, is it embedded in the video somewhere? For instance, I'd like to know my maximum altitude during a high aerial shot. I know it's live on my...
