How to fly and shoot with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision + Quadcopter drone on Location

[@nutnfancy]

Excellent video my friend.

[@MadDogExplorers]

Thank you for taking the time to create this video for "the rest of us" out there! I realize that it is a lot of work to create even the simple videos and your hard work is very much appreciated by people like me. Thanks again!

[@johnmcnamara9422]

Great instruction. For new pilots, he said this many times in this video and it still can't be overstated. Slow movements is key to great video. Camera movement is the fasted indicator to show the difference between a new user and one who has done it awhile. Good job Colin.

[@sknecht1]

Gee, after having seen about 100 quadcopter videos (some including cameras), I was quite surprised at how much better - in all respects - was this video. So congratulations Mr. photoshipCafe.

[@photoshopcafe]

Sam Knecht Thanks so much for the kind words

[@glyndewis]

Really enjoyed watching that Colin. The footage going over the paddle boarders looks great. Only problem now is...I want a Phantom :)

[@MarioCugini]

me too! Somehow got to convince the Mrs!

[@TommyKronholm]

Mate I've been trying to convince my lady for the past month to get the Phantom Vision+ ....... Apparently it's a toy, not a career investment :(

[@glyndewis]

Tommy Kronholm Tactics are called for :)

[@TommyKronholm]

Maybe a letter from you Glyn endorsing the product and saying that without it my creativity is being cramped and neglected? It's that or I revert back to begging ;)

[@JohnGMoore]

Pretty cool. Does anyone know if the focal length/FOV on the lens is adjustable? Would be interesting to know what the FOV on the lens was set to in the demo as it's too wide for my purposes.

[@StewartBairdPhoto]

Very nice little demo

[@pepebetorangel]

Hey! I have a question... when you are at the flight can you see what phantom is seeing between the camera in your phone? Thanks

[@photoshopcafe]

Jose Alberto Rangel Frias yes, your phone will show what the camera sees

[@theblonderthanthou]

Easily the best, most informative vision videos out there. Thank you so much :)

[@photoshopcafe]

theblonderthanthou thanks for saying so :)

[@East_Yorkshire_caravan_sales]

one off the best drone videos i have ever seen thanks for the info

[@photoshopcafe]

THE VLOGER Thanks!

[@ronlangevin]

thank you ... a very enjoyable vid ... no pressure ... just casual flying ...

[@josedepina2007]

love it Thanks

[@PrimatePrime]

Excellent video. It was very instructive and demonstrated the capabilities of the DJI Vision+ very well. Thank you.

[@davieb68]

I’m just starting this hobby, bought a starter drone and having a blast so far. My goal is to one day graduate up to a dji drone . Thanks for the advice on slow movements when taking video, I’ve had that choppy video so I know exactly what your talking about now 👍👍👍

[@viai2903]

Nice to see more people, yourself included, who practice release and catch opposed to launching and landing it in the sand :)

[@JohnS916]

Well done and good filming tips too.

[@ehyouman]

Awesome video ordered mine this morning, can't wait to have this much fun

[@wunfeather4787]

I love the informative and non pretentious style in this video. I chuckle when I see dislikes. They must be from someone who wish they could do it so well. Just buy g my phantom 2 and you give me hope that I can do it.

[@photoshopcafe]

Wun feather Thanks for the kind words

[@flowrider13roz]

Hi which gamble with you recommend.? Also is that the big battery? How much was the transmitter for the phone?

[@bulldetecting2230]

Could you tell me what model peli case that is please. Great video by the way. Cheers!

[@djchino]

does the wind from the beach affect the flying? Thanks. very nice video

[@rileyhearn7887]

Awesome video!!! Loved it!

[@stargazer1063]

Where did you find the wifi for your controler? How much do they run. Nice video.

[@fabiopfontes]

Amazing videos!!! Thanks for all the tips. However I have a question and I have searched all over the internet to find out before contacting DJI support. I bought a DJI Phantom 2 plus vision with an extra battery, the first attempt with the first battery worked as per normal, but the second battery when inserted and I try to turn it on 4 red led lights are flashing and it doesn't turn it on at all, what it could be? Could you help me with this one. thanks

[@jrod291]

Fabio Fontes uh oh

[@BrianTrudeau]

Nice flying

[@TP_LANDSCAPE_PHOTOGRAPHY]

hi this is troypointerphotography I am kind of new 2 drones and I have 2say this is one of the nicest practical videos I have watched thanks troy any updates or new things let me know take care

[@BunsAndGunsCalendars]

I'm getting prepared to purchase my first drone .. I see lots of options from higher more stable landing gears, to rotor blade protections, to neon lights ... I saw one where you wear goggles and watch the flight like you are on board ... any helpful suggestions you may have I would appreciate. Nice video and thanks for posting

[@searchdogpoppy]

Amazing footage! thanks for posting.. Have the same model but have recently had a crash and am now saving for a new camera and gimbal! In the mean time have to turn to you tube for my video hits!!

[@NormanHirsch]

nice video. missed some large fish or whale at 7:09-7.10 -- probably what the paddle boarders were out there to see.

[@per3maj]

Very nice drone, i love it :-)

[@jrgrey2000]

Great video Colin.. thank you...

[@quadcopterbeginner3443]

nice video friend !!!!

[@photoshopcafe]

Quadcopter Beginner thanks

[@mattd2103]

Nice to finally see a video of someone being responsible with a drone, not just another "I was trying to see how far it could go... thank god it didn't hit anyone" video

[@Mr_Success007]

what is the model number and where you have bought it from ? also how long does the battery last for and when you connect it to the phone does it gets signals from the remote control but the range ( Mhz) of it connects with the satellite ? so it means you can fly it as far as you want. thank you .

[@rodbuilder3657]

When you're in video mode can you hit the still camera button and take a photo and keep on with the video, or do you have to switch off the video before you shoot a still shot?

[@smoothymaker]

Great video....well done

[@wacka2]

great tutorial , thanks

[@Gribbo9999]

Thanks Mate - really instructive. You have a really good presentation style. Couple of questions. How many hours did it take you to reach that level of competence? And is there any reason you use feet and not metres, seems a bit strange for an Aussie?

[@supermario6105]

Hello, I'm new to drone flying, I want to ask how did you take a photo shot above from your camera on ur quadcopter? do you have a remote control on your transmitter to take photo shot or you can control the camera shot from your phone? I noticed you took a video and you said you took a photo shot also, did you use 2 different camera's? and what camera did you used? I'm thinking buying a dji phantom, I enjoyed your aerial footage. thanks

[@droningincornwall2578]

amazing video mate, i got the syma x5c quadcopter at the moment and was thinking of upgrading to the syma x8c but have been thinking of buying a dji phantom which has a problem or damage so me and my dad could fix because its cheaper but yeh also great flying :)

[@PelayoPelaski]

How is called the song when starts flying? Really nice video :D

[@2cool0]

nice video loved it. nice simple and kept everything on point with out talking about necessary things. beautifully done

[@photoshopcafe]

2cool0 except maybe greeting the dog ;)

[@2cool0]

photoshopCAFE lol well dogs are cool so it's ok

[@cannabis_culture518]

Really enjoyed this vid, brought to light features that I didn't know you could do with this copter... Santa for xmas I would like Dji Phantom 2 vision plus drone!!! I've been a good boy promise!!! lmao... enjoyed the video though

[@TheMuffdivr]

At 3:14 you're stating "hold nose down" and unless I'm mistaken, you're holding it nose up. Battery's at the ass end, right? Must work both ways then.

[@murigius1]

Wonderful intro video to this amazing quadcopter. Thanks! I ordered one last night. Didn't sleep well after that, then dreams of flying :P

[@Webspinneruk]

What song have you used for the end ? Thanks in advance

[@Jman15151515151]

Thanks for the tips!!

[@iflyhelis]

Excellent info!

[@shomedamony]

So whats the battery time on this? Just curious.

[@ZurrboMC]

Hey nice video mate. I was wondering on some advice on 2 drone Quadcopters. The first one is obviously the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ V3.0 and the FPV Mariner Drone - RTF version. The mariner is waterproof which I like a lot but I like some the camera on Phantom and how you can control it etc. Can you help me chose one. I have been researching for a while and not to sure which one to go with. Also I heard the Phantom does fly aways.

[@photoshopcafe]

Chamba Right now, I would say go for the Phantom 3

[@SLRHUT]

This video is really informative.

[@HerbertAR]

Great video!

[@thetoybox9593]

Hi photoshopCAFE, Thanks for your review. Just a quick question. I just recieved my device PV2+ and have flown in only a couple of times. I came across something about the camera tilt that raised my concern. I noticed when I tilt the camera via the app (smartphone soft/touch buttons), it tilts quite crisply responding to every click precisely on the gimbal, however when I use the metallic looking dial on the top left hand corner on the Remote Control (just above the S2 switch), the gimbal wobbles the camera before actually tilting it up and down, sort of like a very fast nod up/down before actually tilting in the direction that I want it to go so it makes it difficult to do as smooth of a tilt or like step by step tilt as it does through the app. Almost looking like it's a bit confused before responding... Like a wobble or shake, sorry I don't know how to describe it any better.. Is this normal or is my RC dial faulty? Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers q[^_^]p

[@NickPatillo]

Cool video!

[@asceofuno]

How the iPhone is connected to the drone? 4gLTE???! Also how long can the battery run? Can I replace the existing camera with another one from my own? How far it can go horizontally and vertically ? Is it water proof if u drop it in water ? Thanks

[@HanzifHasifGamingGrounD]

Sir, can i use android device instead of iphone ?

[@photoshopcafe]

yes you can

[@jrod291]

Kid rock

[@jrod291]

Oh yea bawitdwba

[@flipfpv4539]

Hi there someone just gave me a DJI Phantom vision 2 ( not the plus version) having trouble finding an Apple app to go with it ... looking at the Litchi app but think it only works on the vision 2 plus Hope you can help 👍

[@primarespro]

I, thanks for teaching us. I am concer about stg, I have just got a brand new DJI PHATOM V2 But, In video you are talking abaout a transmisor, and there is not one in the box, I just want to know if this is up to the model por well, is missing, :C thanks.

[@primarespro]

Oh! I see that is is a range extended singal. XD thanks again.

[@erasmoreza6406]

where did you get the drone at

[@nigelkthomas9501]

How do you erase the sound of the rota blades? Also weren't you worried in case it feel into the sea? I was!

[@photoshopcafe]

+Nigel C Ingle No audio on the Phantom camera. They don't swim well, no ;)

[@ralphkluge1145]

thanks for the video , can you tell me if you shot the video in Jpeg or in raw and did you do any post video processing. cheers

[@photoshopcafe]

Ralph Kluge The phantom footage or the video itself? The phantom footage was H.264 it doesn't shoot video in RAW.

[@ralphkluge1145]

Ok. I thought there was a setting in the vision app that offered raw or is that only for pix? What software do you edit movies in? Cheers

[@photoshopcafe]

Ralph Kluge The raw setting in the app is only for photographs. They will shoot in DNG

[@alekssavinez7211]

works with boost mobile or AT&T android thankyou

[@fantherailsbc]

How far is the range?

[@edisonkertawijaya3039]

For Min 3:17, It's not working for indoor if I nose up, but works if I pointing downwards. Needs your suggestion bro, I'm using phantom 3 pro

[@photoshopcafe]

+Edison Kertawijaya you can't calibrate indoors you need clear satalife signals. You should also be flying in att mode indoors anyway

[@Yiannis172]

Great video ,i have a question i have the vision 2 with the 7 inches screen is there a way to see like an arrow if the Phantom comes back to you or moves in a different directions i know you always have to stand in the back so the right is right and the left left

[@photoshopcafe]

ioannis pavlis the radar as its called in the corner shows this info

[@Yiannis172]

Thank you

[@LiamJacksonTrickyJoker]

Great vid:)

[@kiamoey3244]

Laguna Beach ?.

[@geneleclair7818]

You correctly say "nose down" for the second part of the compass calibration but you actually positioned the Phantom nose up which is not correct.

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks for pointing this out, I didn't even notice I said the opposite.:) However it doesn't matter with calibration if its up or down as long as it's rotated on the x and y axis. It also does't matter if its clockwise or in an ant-clockwise direction.

[@neckbreakerb]

This is a great video! I'm in the market for a drone so this was helpful. What's your take on that camera? Can a GoPro be used on that drone? Thanks!

[@photoshopcafe]

Joe Baker There is a different version that takes a GoPro, it depends on what camera you like. 3DR are also coming out with the Solo drone in a short while. I will be doing a head to head review when it comes out.

[@ItsComedyPapi]

Very good video. I have a question. Do you need wifi to see whats happening on your screen live? If yes, can you use carrier service internet? I want to buy one, but the thing is, I need to know if I can see whats happening on my display, if i go in a No Wifi Zone. thnx photoshopCAFE

[@photoshopcafe]

Colin Miles Trinidad if you are using the vision, it allows you to view through the mobile app. It creates it's own wifi so you don't need service

[@ItsComedyPapi]

photoshopCAFE Thank you very much for the response. I'm going to buy one because of your video.

[@ItsComedyPapi]

photoshopCAFE Were did you buy your case?

[@techwithcolin]

Colin Miles Trinidad You won't regret it, they are so much fun:)

[@techwithcolin]

Colin Miles Trinidad I just got it off Amazon, the brand is goProfessional

[@miguelitohernandez4326]

How do u make it fly high and straight and make the camera

[@TheR6er]

wow.....amazing man! =)

[@donipaes]

Hi my name is doni Q: what is the range on this unit?

[@trigsimon898]

Colin, when you calibrated with the nose 'down' you actually had the nose up, from what I understand it. Is not the red stripes facing the front of the quadcopter, where the camera is pointing. Or, doesn't it make any difference?

[@trigsimon898]

Saw your post down the page, good to know. But can you tell me what it means when after I did my second calibration, the lights are rapidly blinking red only.

[@photoshopcafe]

Trig Simon yes, that means it isn't calibrated correctly or you have a bad battery.

[@timtaylor839]

I have a dji phantom 2 without a camera. what accessories do I need to purchase to do live streaming of videos besides a camera?

[@photoshopcafe]

tim taylor You will need a video transmitter and a receiver, monitor and iOSD mini for telemetry. I use the Immersion 900 for transmitter and the black pearl monitor that has a dual diversity receiver built in

[@kevinjohnson-xt6kn]

Good video

[@ridgehudson5799]

i am having trouble every time i go through the process and it goes okay but when i flip it horizontal it blinks red and yellow lights why wouldn't it connect

[@spencereng]

Does anyone know if you can mount the vision 2 plus camera and gimbal setup on a regular vision?

[@garyreich7017]

Have always been told that checking not only battery percentage, but overall battery life, is a critical check before flight. Why didn't you mention either?

[@macclesfieldman]

how do you land this thing? Looks easy the way you do it...

[@photoshopcafe]

macclesfieldman its easy to land. I catch it because I don't want to get sand all over it on the beach

[@bimmergirl335]

where do i get a wifi extender for a (dji phantom 2 vision+ v3.0) The one i have does not have one

[@mikea3015]

Hello Colin, I too am fairly new and shooting currently with a P2 with stock GoPro vibration mounted Hero3+ Black. After watching your video, do you feel hampered by the lack of Frame rates on the Vision +. I'm trying to make a decision whether to go to a Vision+ or add all the FPV goodies to my current bird?? One more thing, I watched you shoot a single shot using you phone, is that also possible if I go the FPV route using the Hero3+??

[@techwithcolin]

I have 2. One I fly with the GoPro and the other I fly is the Vision +. If you use the goPro, you can either start the video or the images as time-lapse, you can change settings while its in the air. I find the goPro better for shooting video because of the higher resolution, and its also pretty decent for pulling images off the video. For taking photographs the vision + Is better than the go pro because you can compose the shots and even change the exposure settings while its in the air. It also shoot DNG raw. Although the time it takes to shoot a RAW image is very slow, its a better image. However the video on the Vision + is not good enough to use as still s. So if its good photos you want, shoot Vision + If its mainly video you need, shoot GoPro

[@GraffitiKitty1]

Did you get that video quality right out of the box? Or did you make any modifications?

[@techwithcolin]

A did a little tweaking, but not too much on these

[@trigsimon898]

Colin, what is the model number on the case you are using? Is it the Pelican $150 case? Not sure of the number.

[@techwithcolin]

The case is a GoProfessional, Im not sure the number, I found it on Amazon

[@HienLe-rf9ev]

Is there any possibly we lost the connection and the drone fell down to the sea, how can we prevent this ?

[@probrosaifal-qafaji8583]

I like it

[@benoitpelletier8709]

Are these drones worth it? Are they solid? How long can they be used? 6 monts or 2 years? Thanks to answer

[@DanielSparten]

They're not meant to be tough in crashes, but newer ones can certainly be tougher than their older gens, and they can come with tech that help avoids obstacles. They can last as long you regularly check if they're in good condition before and after flights and if you don't crash them. They can be worth it.

[@Ecom.amiraa]

What about the fotoage quality and resloustion?

[@tekoppentekoppen761]

Open your eyes.

[@ashjamz1995]

can I use a phantom 1 controller for phantom 2?

[@photoshopcafe]

+ashjamz1995 Depends on if its a phantom 2 V+ or P2, they have different bandwidth for the controller 5.8Ghz on the V+ I believe

[@elijahwhite794]

how do you get WiFi connection out there and does this drone work with Android I really want one

[@photoshopcafe]

+Elijah White yes it works with Android, There is a range extender built onto the radio

[@nady-dk5fb]

Nice

[@frozenmist-w4k]

Cool, you look like jim carey when you smiled at the end...

[@photoshopcafe]

toby london ha ha, I'd be so lucky

[@kubotamaniac]

When you say WiFi, I don't understand exactly how it works… If you use your phone to look at the images, while it is flying, but you are in a remote area, where you don't have cell coverage, how does the drone and the phone communicate?

[@Mia-ir9he]

Cool

[@vinamel97]

how do u fly and crash?

[@couchgaming5577]

Excellent video, I got one of these for $100! I hope it works lol, I got it from a auction website as not tested but even if I have to fix it i got a good deal

[@vzatreacherous]

What is the size of that case?

[@photoshopcafe]

Rubiini this is it here www.amazon.com/Professional-Cases-Phantom-Quadcopter-Cameras/dp/B00CR6DXEA/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1416868603&sr=8-12&keywords=go+professional+cases

[@robmcdade2304]

i can't watch video taken with dji phantom 2+. photos are great but "unknown error " when i play video. any ideas?

[@AMadScientist]

+rob mcdade Did you ever get that resolved?

[@robmcdade2304]

+Ken Skid yes thanks

[@elijahwhite794]

oh ok thank you sir

[@yesydoggaming9043]

How is your camera are hd mine is not

[@photoshopcafe]

YesyDog Gaming um, you have a parrott? No idea, all DJI cameras are HD

[@wi11y1960]

My only concern I have with the photographing the people is the noise these phantoms generate. This is probably the main reason that it is a nono in parks that the loudness detracts from the quiet beauty. So remember that when we are out there filming others, getting to close, the noise may be considered offensive. Otherwise it has some nice features about the video filming.
