Here is news a story on it at TWiT.tv - Tech News Today.

Got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (8 inch) for use with my Vision Plus App. Samsung GS3 works and so does my Nexus 7, so I assumed no issues. I went to the play store to download and got the dreaded.... "Your device is not compatible" message. Reboxed my Samsung GT4 and was about to send it back...

http://www.TWiT.tv is a great tech Television Station that is completely internet streamed - providing either audio or video casts you can download for viewing later or live stream from the studio. You can watch (listen to) it on your computer, ROKU, smartphone, tablet...etc One of their great...

That is a good point. I was in FT Lauderdale FL right after some major storms blew through and the residual winds were swaying trees. Pretty surprisingly My P2V held its ground, but I was careful to keep the speed pretty slow. It's hard not to feel a little cocky about its abilities when you see...

First off I'm writing to Hallmark and telling them they need a drone section in the card aisle. From unboxing (yay... look who's a new daddy) to crashes (awww hope your UAV gets better soon) to total losses (I'm so sorry for your loss). Second, all kidding aside, that sucks about your P2 man. I...

Re: LIMTED: Phantom 2 Vision+ Camera Ribbon Cables @ DDM I just tore mine yesterday when the gimbal arm popped off. Not a smart method, but think about what we're discussing. We own this thing that we can turn on and fly all over the place with a pretty sweet camera that gets rock steady shots...

LMAO, Even if you said OK, Then what??? All the footage would be useless because it's going to go somewhere visible to people - including the FAA. They asked you because they knew they'd get their *** handed to them if they got one and flew themselves lol. I swear the media is so Jekyl and Hyde...

You definitely lit the match to that powder keg Ed. You made a broad statement that there should just be zero flying in residential areas. That's so overkill to fix a problem that doesn't even exist. The camera you carry in your pocket every day - the one attached to your phone... That can do a...

It's the media outlets that are doing the most damage. EVERYONE I know who has a bad attitude towards UAVs has never flown or seen one. EVERYONE I know who has a bad attitude toward UAVs heard all this bad rap from..... anyone?? anyone?? The news. When people see them up close, look through...

I can say that in my experience with 5 Phantom 2's.. P2V, P2 and P2V+ that I hadn't done cals at all and had no issues. I did have TBE with one P2, but that has been resolved. I started doing compass cal more frequently because of all the chatter about doing them in every new location and I'll...

FYOD is right, the no beeps is standard on P2 RC. I have had 3 in my possession and each one behaved the same. I did not check for FCC mode like I did with my Vision and my Vision +, good reminder. 5.8 G has longer range, but inherently does not like going through "stuff" (ie people, trees...

Regardless whether it's this Tali or something else.... DJI is getting their *** chewed on by other manufacturers and the winner will be the one who puts out an as good or better product, but provides BETTER support than DJI. If DJI just quit unleashing firmware updates without first rigorously...

Actually the camera is an F2.8, which is pretty good. You have the ability to bump up the exposure settings in flight. It's not tack sharp like you would see with a DSLR and a great lens, but that's a rig you'd pay $10,000 plus for. I have a P2 with GoPro Hero 3+ and even that has low light...

Ok, I'm throwing in here because I had the same issue. ALMOST lost my P2 in a harbor a few weeks back because I lowered the altitude for about 3 seconds and it kept going down another 100 feet no matter how much throttle I gave it. You can watch the footage where the P2 nearly breaks the water...

1. First learn what the switches are at the top of the RC. There is an excellent IOC explanation here. http://youtu.be/YyMIwvmcnDE With that said. Use the left switch and turn it onto Home Lock. Left switch - 3rd position down and then pull back on the right stick. Your Phantom will return to...
