- 3 axis stabilized gimbal
- camera technology and specs not from the early 2000's
- black or grey color selection..anything but the toiletbowl white color
- stronger wifi/better antennas
- better tech support
- bring that colin guy back..he was cool with me

feel free to add on.. :mrgreen:
 
#1: Better camera
#1: Gimbal
#3: Ability to attach any antenna wo/drilling holes, pulling stuff apart, etc
#4: Follow me mode
#5: Fix the 3300' bug in the app
#6: Improved compass calibration - I am not happy with it
#7: Circle a point of interest (POI)

And if we don't ever get the waypoint/autonomous flight plan feature in P2V, add that too.
 
Better camera, follow me mode, 3300 app bug, 2 axis gimbal and maybe 3 axis, 1080p FPV (which should be transferrable tech from the lightbridge they just released) and hopefully batteries that aren't proprietary and cost $160!

+10 ....especially on camera quality, gimbal and range/antennas!!!!!
 
Whatever they do for the next version it would nice if at least some of the new features were backwards compatible with the original. However the thing on the top of my wishlist would be for the batteries to come down in price by about 33% - there must be enough P2 platforms out there now to justify a drop in the retail price, as opposed to giving one extra free with new purchases...
 
I don't really like the fish eye effect in the camera, and I wish it had a nice gimbal so even if it's breezy it'll shoot good video.
 
- More flight time
- 3-Axis gimbal
- Specific lens for the camera (ND, polarized)
- Improved camera
- Improved range
- Improved software
- Lower prices...
 
For the Phantom 3?

Obviously, I want everything that's planned for the Phantom 4 ...

You know - FVP via Google Glass, omni-directional proximity sensors, warp drive, cloaking device, full shields, tractor beam, etc.

Nothing special ... just the basics :)

I think warp drive is an absolute must.
Also if we can replace the rotor blades with the stuff that makes hover boards work, that would be great.
 
… + the sound(s) that the drones on the movie 'Oblivion' make!
 
1. Better Camera (no fisheye effect, more megapixels, shoot faster stills, RECORDS SOUND LIKE GO PRO)
2. WAYPOINT
3. longer range on camera and controller
4. ability to customize controls on controller
5. a 2 or 3 axis gimbal
6. better landing gear
7. include prop guards
 
Camera based on Ambarella A9 chip (1 year old technology) (image stabilization, 4K etc.)
Camera placed further to the front, minimizing the rotors-in-shot.
3-axis gimbal with external camera antennae
Quieter rotors
Higher capacity batteries
Pre-programmed flight cource
"Follow the transmitter in my pocket at 10 meters distance, 10 meters height, at an 45 degree angle" device (use your proximity sensors to avoid flying into things, please)

Proximity sensors! (ARdrone uses them for attitude already)
- No more flying into trees on return-to-home
- Safe(r) indoor flying
- Autonomous flying without GPS eg. damaged structures etc. for search and rescue

:D

Yes, I don't care for the fish eye effect of the camera either, but my main wish would be a better system for viewing, rather than the I-phone.. Just so aggravating, especially in the sun.. I would like the glasses, like the fat shark, but can't they make them so you could connect directly, as you do with the I-phone, without having to have a separate transmitter installed on the copter?
