Quick video with the drone

[Deez-67]

So I order a DJI Phantom 2 the other week. This thing is a blast!!

Here is the only footage of the car we got just messing around today at the office.

Very cool!

 

[Gremlin85]

Those are wicked sweet!

I love how it transmits the camera's image to yoru smart phone so you can see what it sees.

Slick stuff!

We have all the FPV, down link, and other upgrades coming tomorrow. Then the real fun starts.

I think the coolest feature on those is the home feature. Once you're calibrated and have GPS connectivity, if it loses signal to the controller it'll fly back to where it took off from and land itself.

Now THAT is F'ing SWEET!

Simply incredible.

 

[Dark_horse]

how difficult is it to fly?

 

[dee99gt]

that's pretty sweet!

 

[Deez-67]

Easies thing in the world to fly!

 

[Jarrod@latemodelresto]

Damnit. I want one of these!!

 

[Gremlin85]

I seriously have to get one of these! I've been researching this online and it's F'ing amazing!

$1199 seemed like a bit much at first, but looking at everything you get and the potential of this tool it's a deal!

 

[lethe]

Nice. Looks smooth too!

and they are only coming down in price. It won't be long tell everyone has one.

Frickin awesome.

That's why I'm hesitant to buy one right this second. I want to see if the price drops.

I bought this a few months ago.

Its pretty small because I just wanted something to learn on first. I may eventually build a larger one at some point if I get good at it. The FPV stuff is super expensive especially if you get some sort of headset. Its pretty cool to have the camera set up on an electronic gimble to move with your head though.

How well does in fly up high? Seems like it would get harder to control smoothly.

Didnt realize Oklahoma was as flat as Indiana... Where have i been

It uses GPS to keep it stable and keep it's position when you let go of the sticks on the controller. From the reviews, videos and what the company says, it's easier to fly then anything else on the market for the price.

A 10 year old could fly this thing. Like Gremlin said they more or less fly themselves.

And yes it is nothing but flat here... that's why they call it the great plains.
