Hello ... I am a pro videographer and very interested in getting started with the DJI Phantom. I have questions since I am trying to make up my mind on which unit.
I do a lot of work at a local lake here in SoCal. I like the gimbal idea for stability. But I also like what I see in the DJI Phantom 2 vision.
I have two GoPro Hero 2 cameras. If I go to the first generation Phantom I guess I will have to move up to the Hero 3. No problem there but again, I have mixed feelings. I am trying to determine if I should go with a mounted gimbal on one of these QuadCopters or just go with the Phantom 2 Vision. I like the idea of being able to control the camera (mainly up and down) but I cannot do that with a Hero mounted in a gimbal. Correct?
Also (and I hesitate to ask this) what happens if the Phantom goes into the water. Is it a complete loss?
Thanks so much. Would appreciate any advice.
