In reading the comments it appears that you all know what you're talking about. So, do I want this, or do I want the Phantom 2 Vision+; please advise.

Phantom 2 vision! Ar drone is a toy. I have one and don't care for it except as a learning step or for a kid. The range is terrible and fly aways are easy. Mine flew away twice . I was fortunate to get it back.

The Parrot is a good training drone. If you can afford the Phantom 2 Vision+ that's the king of the hill! Get it and you'll love it. Comparing the Parrot to the Phantom is like a flip phone to a Galaxy 5.

do you want a toy or do you want something to sell professional photography? People have asked for me to film footage with the parrot, but I am reluctant to use for money. what are your intended uses and budget? the answers to these will drive the answer to your question.

No. The phantom 2 body is a little bit bigger than the phantom one. You might get it on, but it will not be very stable

It is possible, you can run a gibal and gopro and buy a set up for fpv for around 399 or fatshark fpv goggles. DO NOT link you gopro to you phone using the gopros wifi or you could experience a flyaway and possible loose your phantom

Summing up from the others as well as with my own additions. * Two on-board video cameras, one is 720p with "photo" ability. * Video sharing on YouTube. * A community of users. * Flight data graphics. * Due to streaming video, I can fly virtually, as if from the pilots seat-- I can see what the Drone sees, in real time. * Multiple flight control options. * I can set up the control range from tame to wild, such as for indoor or outdoor flight, or my own preferences. * It is tough, but easy, cheap, and quick to repair. * "Augmented Reality" games. * Open source software-- e.g., I can use the 60Beat Game Controller besides my touchscreen (iPad, iPhone, Android, etc). * Open source software-- e.g., The AR.Drone can autonomously track an object. * It flies "large" not like a gnat-- something experienced r/c pilots appreciate. * I can pre-program flights so the AR.Drone flies itself. * Indoor and Outdoor shell. * I average just over 11 minutes per battery charge. * Lasting fun: there is whole industry of customizing these because the owners use their drone a lot more often than the $50.00 quadrocopters. * If I run low on battery, it informs me and lands itself if I do not respond. * If I fly out of range, it hovers, and waits for me to move closer to reconnect. * If I take my hand off the controls, it station-keeps at altitude. * It knows its altitude, and ground speed and transmits that in real time as well as records it. * Because of the above, there is one last important point the AR.Drone has over the others: The users all wish their friends had one, because with two or more flying, games just happen.

I can only speak to the Phantom 1. But as far as I know only some of the hardware inside the DJI Phantom 2 has changed from one model to the next. Your best bet would be to check the DJI website or check another forums to verify with manufacturers specs. Also Phantompilots website is a good resource. Hope that helps.

I am flying t-motors on both of my phantoms (phantom 1 & phantom vision2+) since more than a year. I had never ever any problems.���077; � that means 5 stars GreetingsFinmann

Good question! To tell you the truth, I don't know either. If you go to DJI website and compare all the specs, they all have the same ranges, same power, etc. FC40 flying time is shorter but you can pay $7.00 to $20 to upgrade new V2 props, get a 5000mah battery, etc... other than that I don't understand why people want to spend more. Notes: Phantom 1 use 2.4 ghz which is good to upgrade with 5.8 ghz FPV system, V2 and V2 plus use 5.8 ghz just like fc40, they have wifi extender ehich you can get a home extender for your fc40, it's much cheaper... although V version has better camera (so what?). If you find anything different, please let me know so I can educate myself too. Cheers!

Yes but if you have the newest phantom 2 you don't need this! I bought it anyway

It's the same drone but just different bundles. You can see the difference broken down if you go to YouTube and search "AR Drone 2.0 episode 30."Kyle TarpleyCentral US Drone Sales

Yes, sure does. I own two copters. The vision 2 and the phantom two with the h3 3d gimbal and go pro attached, both for just fine. Props an all.

I'm not sure. The basic Phantom 1.1.1 looks to be the same as the Phantom 2 Vision but w/o the integrated camera. I now get my blades now from UAVDirect in Liberty Hill, Texas. The labeling on the package of a set of blades clearly reads `Phantom 2 Vision'. Give the folks at UAVDirect a call @ 1-855-778-6363. They can help you out.

Dear Sir, I didn't understand your question. The one I bought it was brand new. Just make sure this for your Phantom 2. Mine is Phantom 2 Vision Plus, and.... DIDN'T FIT! Phantom 2 Vision Plus cannot take oter cemra but his built in camera only.

Hello, the mount was supposed to be packed with the phantom, but DJI made an error on some units. Please send an email to luckitron and they will ship you one.

This was a Mode 2. It is really "twitchy" when flying. I personally like the Blade 300X much better being a tad larger and the ability to set it up as a beginner, if needed. mCpx V2 are just two hard to fly unless you are an absolute EXPERT. Choice is yours, but me I would not buy another one. Hope this clarifies a few things.

No, it bearly survive in normal conditions. I bought two hopeing v2 will be better than v1 and no. Limited control range due to iphone wifi dependence, reaponse is not optimum. If you really want a worthy drone check out DJI Phantom 2, worth the extra bucks.

Hello Phileein,Thanks for the input, I ordered the 2 lines kit. I have trouble looking through viewfinders thus my need for live view.I am awaiting my new camera and will do a review after I get itThanks again

To get FPV from the GoPro you need a transmitter and a receiver monitor. The DJI iOSD puts a lot of useful information on the screen but is not needed to fly FPV. It is very good to have though. When I first got my Phantom I had the set up with just the GoPro, I could only view the video post flight on the phone app or hooked up to a TV. Then I got a transmitter (DJI) and monitor receiver(Flightsight Black Pearl) which worked great. Then I added the iOSD and the information that I receive from that thing makes flying much easier and I think safer. YuoTube has a lot of videos on how to use that set up.
