Practice. practice and practice more get used to flying in GPS mode and read up on nasa mode as well.

Also look up setting up the Nasa mode and using the S1 switch for home mode where you can program it when flicked down makes it fly back home.

Video Streaming – FPV on Phone


Phantom 2 Vision+ Controller with iPhone

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ offers direct First-Person-View (FPV) capabilities with any iPhone 4S or newer (or a modern Android phone). It works by sending the video stream and telemetry data (think altitude, speed, etc.) via WiFi to your attached mobile device. This capability works up to roughly 700 meters or so with the included range extender, and is really quite valuable. In previous generations of Phantom quadcopters, you’d simply be guessing where your quadcopter was pointing at and what footage you were getting with your GoPro – unless you shelled out for a full FPV goggles system or other setup. But now, straight out of the box you can see what the quadcopter is filming real time – providing you the ability to frame shots and add depth to your flying experience.

The video streaming comes in anywhere between 320×240 at 15fps or 640×480 at 30fps, though even the lowest resolution is usually adequate for piloting the aircraft. The DJI VISION app allows you to control the camera functions from your phone, including picture quality and resolution, ISO, exposure compensation, white balance, and capture format. Overall it has a clean and intuitive interface and it works smoothly. The images and videos can be transferred directly to your phone while the craft is in the air, but it is much quicker to transfer them via the microSD card once you land the quadcopter.

You can also control the direction of the camera from your iPhone, and it can use the internal gyroscope of the phone to tilt the camera – i.e. you tilt your remote and hands one way, and the camera will mirror that motion – so you don’t have to take your hands off the sticks to adjust on the phone itself, pretty smart DJI!
