The most significant and most apparent difference with Lightbridge 2 is that the ground end of the program has been mixed into a remote controller. That implies you will not have to connect a separate Lightbridge unit to your remote so the setup time is shorter. You will, of program, have to connect a tablet or smartphone. You will also will need to have a separate remote controller for every video keep track of as nicely as a single for the camera/gimbal operator. On the unique Lightbridge not only did you have to connect a cable from the remote to the ground station, you also had to use a different cable link the pilot's controller with the camera operator's controller.

The Phantom 3 comes with an 8GB microSD card. That should really be 1 of the to start with issues you upgrade, as this is only ample to capture about 45 minutes of video at the highest, two.7K good quality setting.

To place the smart battery challenge to bed, right here is my personal 3rd alternative around it. As a hobbyist/enthusiast, I would not get the Phantom 2 Vistion Plus as I stated at the beginning of this posting. I would get the DJI Frame Wheel F450 combo kit, pair it to the Zenmuze H3-3D gimbal and a GoPro Hero3... Proprietary intelligent battery situation solved! That is soon after all why Dji S1000 Gains has the much more innovative Frame Wheel kits, for us hobbyists to configure and modify to our heart's articles.

1st, the selling price big difference among the two drones (talked about under) means that you can individually buy a gimbal for the IRIS+ and nonetheless come in beneath the selling price of the Phantom 2 Vision+. 3D Robotics recommends the Tarot T-2D gimbal system for use with the IRIS+. Unlike the Phantom 3 which has a fixed f/2.8 lens, the X5 lets you to control the f-cease along with every single other camera setting.
