Just ordered a Phantom 2 Vision. Been looking at one for a while and altho people suggested getting a normal version and adding a camera and lipo batteries I havent the patience to do this, just want to buy and fly.
All being well Ill get it tomorrow and flying over the weekend, weather permitting.
Anyone got any tips for this machine?? Ive read that there's a switch somewhere which changes the distance from 300 meters to 500 meters. Not sure if its an american thing or not (different frequencies etc), but an extra 200 meters should be good
Thanks.... yeah you are gonna have a lot of fun.

I've not enabled IOC controls because I need to RTFM a bit more, I've seen reports of RTH GPS lock being inadvertently changed when using it so I'm cautious about that until I know what I'm doing! Just got in my head what to do if things seem to be acting strangely.
Anyhow, yes, the Phantom 2 is super easy to fly. My 11 year old nephew had no worries flying it at all at the weekend!
I'm still struggling to find a gimbal that will work with a Mobius camera (super cheap!) and fit on the P2. I would go for the Zenmuse but at the moment the reports of GoPros turning their WiFi on by themselves make me nervous - I mailed GoPro support and asked them if they'll be putting an option in anytime soon to permanently disable WiFi.
She's nearly ready! its taken me what feels like a lifetime but she is ready!
the only thing left to do is balance her I think. a few questions though;
Easiest way to balance? Ive tried the string method (screw in CG) but due to the string not being in the centre of the screw i dont know how accurate it is. i picked her up by the screw with my fingertips, shes. abit nose heavy so ill move the battery forward a tad.
Centering the KK Board (in Receiver Test): Ive altered my sub-trims so all the values in the Receiver Test are at 0.
Is that the correct way to do it?
Just have to balance her and velcro the battery and cut the motor shafts.
Now for some pictures
improvised legs! need to get thicker zip ties as they are a bit too small.
pazza; lovely little h quad! does she do acro? is that a 3s 2200mah?
But gives me the chance to have a go at shaft replacement
