shooters: check this out :)
 

Pretty cool. A big step up from my 808 taped to the drone. :1orglaugh

I love my Phantom. This is awesome.

fucking awesome toy

Great toy!

Pretty nifty except for one thing....The GoPro cameras have a slight delay when used for FPV. This is why almost every FPV system out there uses a separate camera along with the option to mount a GoPro. If this package had a dedicated FPV camera, I'd consider buying it. Without that, not a chance. :2 cents:

Great point Aaron. Had one on a shoot at a large factory couple weeks ago. Was hit or miss on getting the shots the director had in mind.

I love these quad and octo copters but I am not a fan at all of using a gopro for professional work. I do really like the bigger ones that can carry a 5D and have brush-less gimbals but damn that gets expensive.

I'm totally digging what extreme facilities shot for top gear's africa special. they used a DJI S800 drone and a Panasonic GH2

Sorry, no youtube/imbed

Check out this Jules Jordan trailer where he uses shots from one of these things to add to his scenes. Very impressive shots very high end outcome.

More than a toy! Awesome!

that looks like really old school porn the way it is shot :2 cents:

Love the wireless video downlink.

intersting video:)

Nice toy, really :)

I want one

Just upgraded from the Phantom to the Phantom 2 Vision. Which has the camera mounted on it.

What's a nice FPV system for these units?

I want! :thumbsup

With the Vision camera and the DJI Vision app, there's less than .1 second latency. How does that compare to maybe a Fatshark system?

This one probably won't last long. I will use it for a few more jobs and move on to something bigger.

I've been flying one of these around for almost a year now. Take the new one out for the first time today and on the second battery, I slammed it hard into a tree and it fell into the street from about 25 feet.

The cable that connects the camera to the copter broke and I have to order another from China for $8. I'm also glad I have a bunch of propellers on hand. Chipped a few of those too.

I put everything back together and it flew like it should. I had heard that these were durable little machines, I wasn't aware of how durable until today.

Thumbs up to DJI.

Suddenly my AR Parrot quad is hopelessly inadequate.

Time for a new investment.

Snow-covered mountain peak...sold separate?

This one I bought the other day the guy paid $1200 for three weeks ago, did two jobs with it and sold it for $650 on Craiglist. I had to drive to Buffalo to get it, but to save almost $600 that is well worth it.

There's another here on CL in Rochester going for $800.

You could probably get half the funds selling the Parrot AR. :winkwink:

Borrr - ing !!!

What you want is this:

Way to derail a perfectly good thread. :1orglaugh

Perhaps I'm not able to think outside the box enough with this - but what's the practical application of this in the real world?

I can't imagine a client comin' through my door needing something photographed at 1/1,000,000,000,000th of a second.

I need this for Christmas
