Hands-On Review with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ by Jeff Foster - ProVideo Coalition

The Phantom 2 Vision+ (plus) is DJI's latest offering of their popular consumer-level multirotor “flying camera”. With their own built-in 14MP/1080p camera on a 3-axis gimbal, this quadcopter is indeed ready-to-fly right out of the box. I've given it a few flights to test it and here are my first impressions… Photo: Ellen Johnson DJI [...]Read More... from Hands-On Review with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+

4.5

As the name suggests, DJI's Phantom 2 Vision+ isn't much different than its predecessor, with the same exceptional flying capabilities as the last model. But the newfound "plus" for this drone is mostly found in its vastly improved camera and gimbal, which offers super-smooth recording capabilities from a bird's eye view.

DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Review: Buttery Smooth Quadcopter Video

DJI has been making remote-control quadcopters for years. Originally, you had to strap your GoPro to it, but last year DJI introduced the Phantom 2 Vision, which had its own integrated camera system. It was pretty sweet, but every tiny turn you took your video shook enough to scramble your viewer's brain.
