Nothing special, it came with my new toy.

14 Megapixel Still Image
1080/30p Video
140 ° wide-angle f/2.8

Posted it on Reddit last night and woke up this morning to local folks wanting to buy printed copies.

I'm pretty happy about that.

looks awesome

and that phantom thingy looks nice too, how much did you get for?

Where exactly were you when you took those ??

Nice shots btw...

If you look closely at the photo of the brewery, where the bridge meets the land, near the Honey Brown truck...you'll spot the top of my bald head.

They are pretty cheap compared to the "pro" level builds. This is my second Phantom, first with a camera.

I'm impressed! Especially with the last one - very interesting panorama of the town.

How much did that whole rig run you? What kind of skill level do you need?

Great photo dude.I like to see some great photo,nice lens you have

I actually found this one on craigslist for $750. It takes absolutely no skill to fly.

Retails for $999

Phantom 2 is very nice :thu8mbsup

I have an A.R. Drone but I'm on the market to buy a Phantom2

Nice pics dude!

Very cool. :)

damn cool pics!

Nice photos dude

Today's batch didn't come out so good. Too cloudy and raining.

Nice job. Great pics. I need to look into what I can find over here in Tokyo.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Very cool!!

Get any good video yet?

Samples, por favor... :)

pretty neat i like outside ariel pics

Great views, a lot of color in your town!

I got a phantom vision to. Very fast and dead easy to fly. The only problem I have is when it gets to far away I struggle to bring it back because I can't see which way it's facing. Also, the range on the extender isn't great. I tend to lose wifi after a couple of hundred feet.

hey dude that pic of the river is awesome hit me up on skype i want that :)

No, it's pretty shaky without a gimbal, so I ordered one of those last night. :1orglaugh

I've got prints coming next week. Big ones 3'x2' - I will holler when they're finished up.

great man reserve one for me - ill definitely scoop one up and you can come by and check out the office have lunch or something

I found a tutorial online and with a $5 cable/antenna and 20 minutes of my time, I was able to extend the range quite a bit.

I get better range when I'm out at the park, as opposed to flying around the neighborhood.

Also, for some reason the range is better if I'm up over 300'

Nice photos :thumbsup

Very cool pics

Those are amazing!!!

That's a hobby I know zero about, kinda surprised it was only $750. Do you mount your own camera or is even that built-in?

Man, I probably sink some serious time and $$$ into flying those things around, unfortunately I'm all booked up hobby-wise.

They are pretty great. They come with the camera attached http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DJI-PHANTO...item2c82aa8ad0

It's unreal the amount of attention you get though. People just stop and stare, asking how much they cost and wanting to fly it. Unless you like people watching you don't get one.

I've found some Phantom I clones for $250 wholesale, all the same features. I'm thinking of buying a few, flying this around and selling those as a result. A few times already, I probably could have gotten rid of a few on the spot, easily doubling my money.

I'm already making a parts list to build something bigger to carry a DSLR or something a tad larger.

The camera on this shoots RAW .DNG files. I played around with those a little bit:

much better now, i like it :pimp

Actually the Phantom 1 is a better buy all the way around

put a gopro3 on it you get better video and pics and for less $$$

the downside to the 1 is 10-12 min flight time vs 20 but the batteries for the 1 are 22 bucks batteries for the vision are 159.00

the 2 can use wifi for FPV but you figure out quickly its worthless because of limited range if you want FPV that is useable you have to go to real FPV

I returned the phantom 2 vision

They are very easy to fly IF YOU RTFM and watch the videos

Love the Phantom 1

I like my Phantom 1 too, but I never got around to putting a camera on it. I got this off of Craigslist for half of retail and it was 2 weeks old.

This is just to hold me over until I decide what I want to build next.
