One of the first things I did when the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ was released was go to Golden Gate Park and photograph the California Academy of Sciences from the air. The roof of the building is incredible and really screams to be photographed from low altitude.

While at Stanford University for a concert yesterday, I sent a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ up for some still shots. Shot in Adobe DNG raw and processed in Lightroom.

I had a fun day flying the Phantom 2 Vision+ with Gordon Laing, Jim Goldstein and Stu Maschwitz. San Francisco was rainy and windy in the morning, which proved to be challenging conditions for flying, but the clouds went away in the afternoon, and the light was pretty glorious (but it was still cold and windy!). ...

If you are too impatient to wait for DJI to come out with Ground Station support for the Phantom 2 Vision / Vision+, you can add CAN-BUS to your Vision yourself and get support immediately. The video above is by Gary Hilton, who made his own CAN-BUS cable and installed 2.4G Datalink to enable Ground Station ...
