How is it? I'm still shopping around.



Looking to build a Blackout Mini H for video, then maybe something larger that can haul beer.

Unless it's capable of at least semi-autonomous flight, it's not a drone.

Think clip vs mag.

I want to learn more about this one.

Just watched a video the other day about quad racing using 100% FPV. Holy shit that looks like fun.
Want to give that a try.

READ YOUR INSTRUCTIONS!!! THEN READ THEM AGAIN, ALL 76 PAGES. And DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE with it, the FAA is champing at the bit to license (read: control and TAX) these.
Fly-boys HATE these things, not because they're dangerous to planes (less than 1/5th the weight of a Canadian goose), but they get pissed anytime any one gets near their food bowl. ("My Piper Cub is TOO a legitimate business expense, dammit!!!")

Calibrate your GPS (detailed in the instructions)


99.9999999% of "fly aways" are caused by USER ERROR STUPIDITY

I've had a Phantom 2 Vision, I currently have a Phantom 2 Vision + and soon will have a DJI Inspire (waiting until after the CES show for the prices to come down...)


got any q's, feel free to IM me.

Here's a Night-Flight we did last July 4th, blacked out the flashing lights and flew it in "stealth mode" over a fireworks display at a local church. (Skip forward to 1:30 if you get bored watching the fly in from about half a mile away.)

Get the term "drone" out of your vocabulary.

You can set GPS waypoint on the vision 2 with the wi-fi extender.

Good buy OP...should provide hours of fun

I bought one last January.  Works great!

And yes it is a quad or an RC multi-rotor helicopter.  Maybe even an aerial camera platform.

Referring to it as a drone is like us calling our rifles "military assault weapons".

It only feeds the haters.

Have fun!

Not a single drone in this group  YET    The 650 quad and 680 hex will eventually be capable of autonomous flight
