Re: Manuals
I agree with you and this could have been alleviated if DJI would have come out or maybe coming out with their camera on a gimbal instead of just having a tilt feature.

There will be a lever on the back of the remote for gimbal tilt.
On screen display layed over the gopro video out.
Also looks like a special "phantom only" gopro used with a contact pad on the back to facilitate control of the camera.
From the manuals it also appears that the video transmitter will be a separate purchase.
To all the people calling foul that the Vision was just a beta, it does not appear that way to me. The P2 will require MUCH more investment and is a completely different level package.
Beyond the P2 purchase you will also need:
1 onboard display overlay module
2 video xmitter
3 specially modified gopro
4 video RX and display.
To me it looks like you need to spend another grand in optional components to get the same functionality as the P2V gives you albeit at a higher level of gimbal stabilized goodness. For the money and completeness of package the P2V is an outstanding buy. The P2 is for those reaching for the next level. Think the difference between a Canon t3 and 70D. Next you get to the larger craft like the flamewheel (maybe 6D) and go up from there.
Just my thoughts, check out the manuals to see. No real videos showing the OSD in action yet or explaining the optional modules needed for this functionality.
