Phantom 3 vision wishlist!

You'd still need something with a touch screen on to press the shutter button, change ISO, program waypoints, etc...

Unless they do it with eye tracking and blinking!

Yes I agree, Pull-up, but even if one could just have the "image" show up in the glasses, besides on the I-phone, it would make viewing a lot easier..

You could plug in a pair of Zeiss Cinemizers or similar to the HDMI out of your mobile device...

I'll check that out.. Didn't think there was anything available.

There is, but the price..... really sucks!

Pull_Up · Mar 5, 2014

You can get cheaper - check out viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8774 for someone who can give you a very good breakdown of all the options having done a lot of research!

What about a failsafe algorithm for the Phantom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsHryqnvyYA
Recovering from propellor loss or engine failure....

That would be nice.

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...

At least Vision owners get free extra batteries when they purchase a quad. My cousin phoned round quite a few dealers and was wanting to purchase a P2+gimbal +Extra battery and not one of them would do him a deal for less than £750 not even a poxy tenner off and one dealer in Geordie land asked if he was taking the pi** asking for discount

All the DJI kit is too popular at the moment, and I bet DJI aren't giving dealers any discounts either. Supply and demand, and all that.

Am I the only one that wants a multirotor that can have a follow me mode as well as go approximately 70 to 80 mph?

That would be really awesome.

Are you wanting your own "eye in the sky" traffic cam for your car by any chance?!

You bet! lol

Better watch out for the low bridges and power lines on the way, then - the first commute could be expensive.

DKDarkness · Mar 6, 2014

That's what the proximity sensors are for!

Pull_Up · Mar 6, 2014

Oh yeah! But I'd like to see the RTH algorithm on that one, though!

Scottrod · Mar 6, 2014

Eh. If you kept it at 200' or so you should clear most obstacles where I live. That's assuming that there would be a multirotor that would be capable of going 70 mph while maintaining it's altitude.
