Dji Phantom UAVs

Thanks for that! Useful, but some say it is better to fly it NOT in GPS mode when filming. As in GPS mode it is more likely to be jerky as it is looking for the 'points' all the time!
This is now another reason for me to think hold on - and look at the latest model to come out with it's own camera, the Phantom Vision. Not sure what the roll and pitch would be like when filming - again not sure if the vision has some kind of gimble attached too. Plus I'm waiting to hear on cost as well.
Any body else with info..... do please keep us informed.
I think the Phantom is the one to go for if you are a beginner.
Plus .... early days of training, that GPS could be useful!

The more I look into this the more I'm thinking now on the lines of the Phantom Vision, now they are talking that all though it looks the same, but it will be different, besides it will stay longer in the air with a newer designed battery. I like the fact the camera will do raw and is 14megapixels as to 12 with the Gopro. Plus there are less 'hanging' wires as everything will be 'standard' with it. If I went the Gimble route, I would have to buy another Gopro, this time the Hero 3 because of its 60 fps. So in all, when adding it up, the Vision is the cheaper option and I think better overall value for money. OK the new Gimble is something else but at a £1000? That package with a new Hero 3 and you are starting to price it out of the market! I would welcome all comments. Cheers

Just seen this

You can see from the videos how it moves in relation to the attitude of the Phantom compared to the Vision which as far as I know is just a damped cam with a manual tilt.
At £450 its a lot less than I feared and with a birthday looming Im more than a little tempted. To Me - From me
Saw this too on phantom pilots forum, looks like it was launched today. Still want to see their Vision complete with their own built in camera before I commithttp://quadcopters.co.uk/dji-zenmuse-h3---2d-z15-f...
