How different is this version of the Phantom X2 from previous models, other than the price tag? Other significant things?

I don't have any experience with older models so I can't help with this question. Sorry

I have found this bike to be a great machine with 2 exceptions one I had to make a rear rack for both battery protection and to have a rear mounted carrier situation , next problem was with the rear tire so I upgraded ie bought a heavy duty tire and tube, since then no problem have done 50 miles on a charge with a fair amount of peddling and conservation of power

I bought the outlaw ss, whole different beast and easily worth the money, I didn't like the brakes on the phantom plus I wanted the power

All depends on year....I have 2012....wish I knew before I purchased....basically cheaper parts...works great just 2013 version had better stuff grips twist throttle instead of thumb....I might actually purchase another due to personal preference....

I don't know the answer to your question. When I bought this bike I compared it to other bikes in the market at the time and I thought it offered the best quality for the price. The fact that it's made in US by an American Company was icing on the cake.

Yes! I have the whole set up...Zenmuse H3-3D Gimbal, Part 9 hub, iOSD and video transmitter. All the parts plug directly into the hub, including the drone's internal cable that you would normally plug into the gimbal. The iOSD plugs directly into the CAM-HUB as well as being connected to the hub. It's all really dummy-free and couldn't be easier to set up! You will enjoy it greatly! I will offer this heads-up though....yesterday DJI had a live announcement video set up on YouTube. I missed it but I am almost certain it had something to do with the new generation. Depending on whether or not you have already purchased all this equipment you might want to wait for the Phantom 3! If you need anymore advice or want me to send you pictures of how I have all this put together feel free to ask. I'd love to help.

No this is not the latest model. v3.0... The newest model has rechargeable batteries in remote, thumb knob to control the camera on the remote, upgraded motors on copter, training port on the remote, and some other stuff that Im forgetting... BUT it also costs about $140 more. And the newest one is the one I got, but I got it directly from DJI.com. The one I bought off amazon is NOT the newest one...

About 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. Having a spare is worthwhile. Never had any problems with the Phantom 2 Vision, but occasionally Iphone 5s picture freezes but I still have quad in sight so I am still able to fly.

So far I have had no issues with them other than the installation instructions being vague at best. They seem more quiet to me and I'm getting a little more flight time out of my batteries. I'm still using the original 8" blades but will replace those with the Phantom 2's 9" blades, which should get even more out of the batteries.

This is a case, not the actual DJI Phantom 1. However, the Phantom version-One flight time is 5-7 min on each battery. Looks for the Phantom Vision 2+. Much better.

Yes and i will cost you around another 90 usd. If you want to buy dji phantom i can sell mine for 60 usd, never used...

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.

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.

Mike, the two types of carbon fiber blades I have used for my DJI Phantom have either been poor or totally useless. DJI doesn't make carbon fiber blades, which might be a clue. I just don't think they work well, although, again I've only tired two brands. I shipped a whole batch back to a knock-off company in China. They too needed nuts, which weren't supplied. I happened to have some in stock, but sorry to say I think more research needs to be done. My advice? Send them back. Stick with the DJI plastic ones. Byron

Hi Paul, there is no such thing as a Phantom 2 V3, there is only a Phantom 2 V1 and V2. You may be referring to the Phantom 2 Vision+ V3. Please feel free to shoot us an email at support@advexure.com or give us a call at (855) 625-2055. Thanks, Mike

The flight version is newer and less expensive. Other than that, the specs appear to be identical. These are great headphones with good sound and long battery life. I can hardly hear my wife when I use them :)

Put your question out to multirotorforums.com. They have a DJI phantom section and I am sure you'd get an accurate answer.

this is not the phantom2 - yes, it can accommodate a hero 3+ - Biggest difference is flight time - the Phantom2 has a new type of battery which can allow up to 20 minutes of flight time, rather than the 5 min of the phantom 1. also, you don't need the carbon fibre props - they actually have less lift and stability than the stock dii propellers. the only carbon fibre blades that are an improvement are Graupner e-props. But even after using those for a while, I went back to the stock stock blades.

No. A different model has FPV video. You may want to check out the AR parrot drone.
