FAA Guidelines for flying your DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus safely: www.faa.gov/ua...
Today we’re going to be looking at the DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus. This is DJI’s latest generation of camera-equipped quadcopters for the consumer market. There are currently three versions of the Phantom 2. The least expensive base version, which you can equip with an optional gimbal and camera, the Phantom 2 Vision which has an HD camera without a gimbal and the Phantom 2 Vision Plus with an HD camera and a gimbal. The version we’re looking at today is the Phantom 2 Vision Plus.
Now you might ask why the Phantom 2 Vision Plus is so different from other quadcopters or quadcopters you could build. And to understand the value of the Phantom 2 Vision Plus, you need to look at what it took to build a quadcopter before the Phantom series was released. You would first have to either buy or build a frame like this one. Then buy a host of components like motors and flight controllers to install on your frame. Then after a few weekends building your quadcopter, you might eventually be able to fly it. The quality of the parts was questionable and nothing really quite worked flawlessly. And for those who weren’t so technically inclined, things were even worse when something didn’t quite work. In fact, you’d probably end up spending more time getting the quadcopter to fly than getting footage from flying the quadcopter. The Phantom 2 Vision Plus is ready to fly out of the box and almost anyone can learn to fly it and get great footage from it. The Phantom 2 Vision Plus allows you to focus more on the footage than the actual aircraft.
Let’s take a closer look at the Phantom 2 Vision Plus and its accessories. The Phantom 2 Vision Plus is about 23 inches long from propeller tip to propeller tip and is about 8 inches tall. The body of the Phantom 2 Vision Plus is made from a hard white plastic with the motors mounted at each corner. The Phantom 2 Vision Plus comes almost fully assembled and all you have to do is install the propellers, insert the battery and you’re ready to fly.

This is by far, the best video I watched about flying a drone. The pace of your voice, the timing of indications. We can really see the effort you put in making this video. Really, thank you for that! :)
Thank you so much for your comment. A truly heartwarming comment that keeps one motivated to keep doing reviews. Please subscribe
ReviewLamp.com I agree. Most other reviews consist of some rapidly-fast speaking American (LOL) not mentioning all the important stuff. Keep up the good work
Søren Kjær Thank you. Very kind of you to say. Please subscribe for more reviews.
I have no intention of buying a drone but this video is so well put together - along with the smooth voice, kept me watching til the end!
I started with the Vision and upgraded to the Plus. I've been flying and watching videos for over a year now and this is the clearest and most comprehensive video yet! I already knew 99% of the instructions, but the video was so clear and concise I truly enjoyed watching every minute. I'm going to subscribe and hope you have more on the ground station, HOC, LOC and their use. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. Truly heartwarming to hear such kind words. Makes all the effort well worth it.
Best review and tutorial I've watched so far. All the important info without the useless waffling! Well done, I wish there were more reviewers like you.

Nice job with this video! You touched on every point that needed to be touched on for a first timer. Thanks!
There goes my whole reason for wanting one. I was going to market my video services for outdoor events, like weddings and sports stuff.. but apparently the FAA has forbidden making money with drones.
Nice Video : )
Thanks! Please subscribe for more reviews
Subscribed!! This is such a great informative video just what I was looking for. I have never used a phantom and I just bought one used. This video will help me a lot ! I'm actually going to use it for fishing to put fishing line far in the lake. Any suggestions ?
+Robert Balderas Thanks! Well, I would say practice over solid ground before you take it fishing. And wherever you fly, monitor your battery charge level using the app. Make sure you have enough power to bring it back safely. I wouldn't recommend going below 40%, especially when flying over water.
Excellent video...thank you..
I just got this drone Will it still work with iPhone 5
Please give description and source of landing pad (blue) that was used in this video. Looks great.
Jim Taylor It is an interlocking foam mat. Here is the link to such a mat: amzn.to/ZXsajH
Well done compared to other tutorials on the Phantom V2 and good advise on pad and case. Maybe you can do a tutorial on uploading the newest firmware from the DJI website and how and when to download it to the aircraft and transmitter. Others I've seen aren't that clear and haven't seen anything on getting the firmware and opening it. Thanks, keep the good work up.
Thanks for the kind words. Will look into your suggestion. Please subscribe to stay tuned.
Очень круто!

Thank you for this excellent video.
I still have my Phantom Vision 2 Plus, though I haven't flown it for a few years. Do you know if any of the phone apps still work for it? Can I still get a live feed on my mobile etc?
The vision app works still somewhat. You most likely wont get live feed if its been sitting though. You'd have to get the wifi board fixed theres a guy on ebay that does it for $80

I noticed that you said the footage from the DJI Phantom 2 + is not as good as the footage of the GoPro 3+. If I was about to buy the DJI Phantom 2 and already own a GoPro 3+ should I purchase the DJI Phantom 2 with the 3axis gimble and use my Gopro or should I get the Phanton 2+?
Depends on what is more important to you. If you are willing to work with a less integrated system that produces better quality footage, go with the phantom 2, gimbal and gopro 3. If you're looking for a fully integrated package, with on-screen data display, a live video feed to your phone etc but with slightly lower video quality, go with the Phantom 2 vision plus. Hope that answers your question?
Yes, that answers my question. I think the integrated system is more important to me. I see they have a DJI Phantom 2 vision plus V3 that has a control wheel on the transmitter that control the angle of the camera, also takes rechargable batteries with condition light meter next to power switch.
Rick Ousman Yes indeed, the integrated system does help a great deal. And the changes in V3 make it even better. Please subscribe to stay tuned for more reviews.
Excellent presentation.
Thanks!
Great video.what is the largest gb sd card I can put in phantom
Okay, so I watched your video. I have a question. I have the Phantom 2 Vision+. I saw on one video that you use a cable to connect the extender to your cell phone. What cable do I use to do that. Also, does the extender have software that needs to be updates or no? I like your videos. I am a newbie so this is very helpful. thanks
Great Job!
Thanks. Appreciate your kind words
Well done!

Oke
You have any quadcopter that can do aerial filming? I wanted to do some aerial video but no money...

Best review ever
Thanks!
Great review.
was considering upgrading from an ar drone.
So the props wont cut out if it hits something?
Sounds a bit intimidating. thanks for the safety tips.
Zombie Outbreak Control Center
I see now they sell propeller guards as an eccessory.
wondering why they dont come with the drone
Yeah the prop guards are useful. But what we've found in our testing, is that you'll most likely never need them. Thanks to its Gps and barometer, the craft is very stable and thus you're less likely to completely lose control. Additionally, an accident with the Phantom can be a pretty expensive repair job. We'd advise you get plenty of practice on a smaller craft like the blade nano qx before moving to this.
ReviewLamp.com
originally was going to upgarde from ar 2.0 drone to bebop cause the extended range , better camera and electronic gimable effect and skycontoller to tactile control. But I have been reading too many bad reviews. From just how it is cheaply made to issues with bugs etc.
Hence the look into phantom 2 vision plus. I see your point regarding the gimble/camera part being around $600. bebop s camera was only $160 , of coarse no physical gimble to deal with. Not really sure which is the best way to go. finding these at the same price. any advice?
Great video! Thanks! Quick question...Isn't the nose of the phantom supposed to be facing down during calibration?
Tony Gude Thanks! Glad it helped. Its not necessary that the nose points down. Its more important that the aircraft is put through a full circle of rotation, during the calibration of the compass.
Excellent review...thanks!
Thanks! Glad it helped. Please subscribe to stay tuned
Hello, is it possible to buy the phantom 2 model with gimbal and attach a gopro hero 4 black and maintain al the functions ?
Stance Friends Official Chanel Yes it is possible. But I'd recommend the DJI Phantom 3 Professional, which is a fully integrated solution that shoots 4K video. Here is the link to that: amzn.to/1FgNzVY
Why does their website says it comes with rechargeable battery. But videos show AA batteries?
***** Yes, you are correct. But from what we received, the batteries were regular AA alkaline batteries.
Is this drone good for a brgginer?
Great job! Are the two front lights supposed to be red like in the video? Mine are and I was wondering what that means or if it's normal. Thanks.
Payal Dave The red lights on the aircraft are supposed to remain red. They assist with orientation and indicate that the Phantom is powered on. Hope that helps? Please subscribe.
When you monitor the flight on the screen of your phone you notice any delays in real time the images sent from the drone via wifi?
MsFlagon There is certainly a noticeable delay since the data is sent over WiFi. But its definitely not a substantial delay at all.
Great video, I have two questions. Is this dji phantom 2 vision plus considered version 3? Also how many uses can you get out of the battery meaning will the battery life start deteriorating at some point? Because I read somewhere that you can only get about 300 uses out of the battery before you will need to purchase another one and those phantom 2 vision plus batteries are pretty expensive 😕
Yes the new version is version V3. We are not sure about the cycle life of the pack. The cycle life should be comparable to a good quality lipo battery. I doubt that is something a buyer should be overtly concerned about. Hope that helps?
Great video, what is the furthest range you can set for the ground station?
coolkidirish Irish Furthest range? Do you mean the furthest range the aircraft can fly via ground station? In the US, that is restricted by FAA airspace classes. It all depends on where you are flying. Here is some specific information from Dji's own website: www.dji.com/fly-safe
Cool
7 years ago comments..lol! there is One at a local thrift shop in box for 45.00 worth it?
For $45, yes!
One quick question...I ha e the phantom 2 vision...not the plus with the gimbal, will the controller green led light blink or change color when the batteries are getting low?
William Wiese Page 15 of the user manual explains the LED and state of charge on the controller. Here is the link to manual: download.dji-innovations.com/downloads/phantom_2/en/PHANTOM2_User_Manual_v1.4_en.pdf
ReviewLamp thank you for the great video and the link to user manual.
What about the fpv?
+Legomore What about it?
Just that you didn't mention it or review it...
+Legomore Yes, because it's not meant to be an FPV craft. It's designed to be a slower, smooth, aerial cinema platform.
Dji phantom 2 pro vision plus what price
tnx for good movie

Hi, is the Ground Station standard included with the Phantom?
Tycho55123 It is included out of the box with the Phantom 2 Vision and Vision Plus. On the base, Phantom 2, you can add this by adding the 2.4G Bluetooth datalink.
Here is a link to those quadcopters on Amazon: amzn.to/11eYte5

Would you recommend this to a clever 12 year old boy?
TheEpikCrafters I would recommend you start off with a quad like the Syma X5C-1 instead, to develop good flight skills before moving on to a more professional platform like the Phantom. The Phantom, in our opinion, is not suited as a first aircraft. Here is our review of that quad: ua-cam.com/video/MmjWCxFgcSA/v-deo.html&lc=z13lfh0rvvbzznx3x22yenvoiyi5sjzh404
I currently have a small £50 drone which is incredibly hard to fly, but I can fly it. And as the phantom 3 just came out I'm considering saving up. Thanks for the advice
Guys I am 11 years old should I get one
Miki The gamer u should start with something cheaper like a syma or jjrc,u dont wanna buy it and destroy in a week
corinahachem pufi1975 syma x8hg is a good drone to start with
youre 12 now so you better have one
Follow me mode?
+corinahachem pufi1975 Not on the Phantom 2
Who is watching this in 2020 or 2021 and thinking bruh this is old just get the phantom 4 or wait for phantom 5 lol and i know this is old no hate
topqenell lajme dat 5 12 2016
The FAA's restriction against using drones for commercial purposes is clearly unconstitutional. I say that as my opinion and not an official ruling. I can non see how this could be anything other than a violation of our 5th Amendment right to "Liberty" or more specifically our right to "of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior". The fact that drones are legal to be use by literally anyone for "hobby" purposes makes a clear case that they are also safe to be used for commercial purposes. If I want to hire out my services to do some drone footage of an outdoor wedding the FAA has absolutely no constitutional ground to stand on to say that I can't. This is a clear oppressive restriction on my life and behavior. With not just cause they are going out of their way to restrict my ability to make money doing something that doesn't harm anyone in any way. They also restrict my ability to hire someone to perform a service I might not feel comfortable performing myself for lack of skill or may simply be unwilling to invest in the proper equipment for. The FAA can't tell a regular photographer that they can't market their services can they? No government agency can. Its also unconstitutional to try and put that restriction on someone or everyone. They can't tell a quilting circle that they can't sell the quilt when they are done with it. They can't tell an old man who whittles a whistle that he can't sell it. Yet they claim to have the legal authority to tell you and I that we can fly our camera drone around all we want as a "HOBBY" but we can't market or purchase that service? Again I find this to be a clear violation of our 5th Amendment rights. I welcome comments to this. References to any forums which discuss this in more detail, any suggestions for how to deal with this or organizations who are fighting this legally which I could research and or support. I also wonder if anyone knows if this restriction has been or even can be actually legally upheld. If I buy a drone and market my services to photograph events for customers can they actually do anything legally to stop me? Or do they just make up regulations that are unconstitutional and expect people to just do what they say.
K162KingPin While I understand your concerns. I think the FAA has addressed all the concerns you raise, in a very realistic manner. They released proposed rules for commercial drone operations early this year. These rules, in my opinion, are well thought out and open the skies to commercial operators in a safe and phased manner. Here is a link to the summary of those rules: www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/rulemaking/media/021515_sUAS_Summary.pdf
Great review! Thank you
Thanks!
