Can you fly this without the camera installed? If so, is it very similar flight to the non-camera model?

Yes, you can. I haven't installed the camera yet, and it flies beautifully.

I made great effort to undestand the entire user manual and all the led indicator signals prior to first flight.I performed all upgrades according to nazam software and watched a lot of utube instruction videos. After all was said and done, and to anwser your question, you could fly the copter as soon as you charge the battries. It is very easy to fly and to perfect your flying technique. I have bought two so far and will probably buy another one.. get a gopro too. It takes great aerial photos. I think amazon has great gopro pricing. Good luck and have fun. I cant recommend it enough. Being from boston, i have to say its pissa. That means real good.Lou I made great effort to undestand the entire user manual and all the led indicator signals prior to first flight.I performed all upgrades according to nazam software and watched a lot of utube instruction videos.

The Phantom V+ already has a good flight controller with gps... Why would you want to replace it with a nearly identical system?

This is ready to fly outside of the box. The camera will need to be attached to the helicopter but it has easy assembly instructions included.

If you don't mind not having a camera. The syma x1 looks like a great option for 35 bucks!!!!!!!!

This plane is extremely powerful with a very light wing loading. I mount a "Cube" camera from Nitro Planes on mine with no problems what-so-ever. While the GoPro is quite a bit heavier, I feel sure it would handle it.

That depends of your flight skills , I've flown it inside of my house without any problem !!!!And also flown it in a park or backyard too !!!

It will fly with no problem at all, even for higher altitud places. With the camera atached the battery time will be around 8 minutes, without it you should get around 5 aditional minutes.

The one you show in the picture is not the latest version. The one you want is the DJI Phantom 2 Vision +. It come ready to fly with the controller that holds your cell phone. I bought a carry case, 2 extra batteries and a 32GB Micro SD card. Plus 8 extra propellors (I've already broken 3). The way to turn the motors off is to move the left throttle down to the bottom position and hold for 3 seconds. I have also had great fun with having one person fly while a second person works the camera from my iPad.

No. This thing is small and light. I couldn't figure out how to fly it. No matter what I did it just went where it wanted to. If you put your go Pro on it you might never see it again. My Walkure is still up in the tree somewhere.

I have never heard of V3.0. That is the Vision 2 not the later version Vision 2+. The one you show will not have an FPV (first person view) so that you can look at what the camera sees on your controller through an iPhone or droid app. Even on your iPad. You will need to spend $540 for the controller that comes with a viewing screen. You will also have to put the gimbal assembly together yourself. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ comes complete and ready to fly with a very good 1080p camera. But it is not a GoPro Hero.

Yes, I recently purchased this as my first RC plane. Its very durable (did a nose dive into cement on second flight) and still flies well. I have a dx6i controller and setting up a model for this plane was super easy (basically the default plane settings). I would recommend getting multiple batteries as 9 minutes goes by quick. I'm already planning for my next more advanced plane.

Yes you can, just follow the instructions for binding included in the manual of the nano qx controller. What I have not figured out is how to control the camera using the nano qx controller, I just set the camera manually to record video for the whole duration of the flight.

With an iPad and the module for it you can. You could also fly remotely with a camera and video receiver.

Did you use the specific camera for this model? If so there should be a plug to connect to the main board under the canopy. If not then you will have to start recording before you takeoff.
