I have a Phantom 1. My friend Rick has a Phantom 2. I've been able to mod my Phantom 1 SO much further because I don't have to deal with the expensive proprietary batteries. Why is the Phantom 3 better?
the day you fly a phantom 3 you will know why. from my opinion has much better range. just google phantom 3 long range flight and you will find that it goes much further. remember that i made this video long ago and technology changes fast with copters. plus it has lightbridge built in and the djipilot app has many many many more features that the phantom 1 can ever dream off. thanks for watching and if you have anymore questions contact me through my Facebook page facebook.com/djicopters thanks.
Great Video! - here's a tip for aiming at a moving object - don't fly directly at the ship but aim ahead and try to keep the angle of the ship constant in your FPV view relative to centre frame . In this case hold the ship right of centre frame. If the ship tends to move more into frame steer left a little if it drop backs steer a little more to the right. That way you will fly a straight line and meet the ship without curving your flight and end up chasing up the stern . But who cares really? It's all for fun and enjoyable to watch!.
Nice Work...... Very Nice Work...... I will say, You Have Balls!....all it would have taken was for the ships operator make a Ship to Shore Radio Transmission and your drone would have been in the water!.... Im glad it didn't happen...Nice Video!

I would litteraly shit my pants to fly so far away above sea......amazing footage, but it takes skills, balls and unlimited nerves to do something like this lol. One of the best DJI phantom footage i have seen :-)
hi, I wanted to ask you a question, I knew that the dji phantom vision + 2 had a radius of about 800m extension, how did you extend the range to 2.3km ??? !!! nice video :)
hey i have question carlocivicsi... I've got the dii phantom 2 vision + how do yours fly so far away ? Mine go 400 to 500 meters please write back and explain me please what i have to do for flying 2.3 km
+Michael Schwarz :) look at this new video i made... i flew the inspire 1 and the phantom 3 pro together chasing a cruise ship ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hslB28T09Sc.html
Loved your video man, I'll never be as brave as you are. Some people don't understand that these things cost thousands of their hard earned $$ to risk it over the great big ocean!!!
Thanks for linking the video. That's y I post these videos. So u guys don't have to loose your phantoms 😉😊. Trust me, my 1st time flying over water was nerve wracking. But then it's was fun. As long as u follow all the instructions u will b fine. Have a great day.
Tony Harris thanks for watching please check out this new video that is even better ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hslB28T09Sc.html and subscribe to my new youtube channel if you would like. thanks.

That was freakin awesome. I need to mod mine to go that far. I bet you were nervous during that whole flight until you landed..I know I would be. Fantastic jog..Be Safe.

This is FANTASTIC! As a new GoPro user (3+ Black Edition), I'm looking to really expand what is possible for me and for the camera itself. This seems like something worth investing in. Especially living at the beach. I could check out how full the beach is, without leaving my Condo. :) Great work and thank you for the video!
Thanks. Please check out my video description if u like to follow me on Facebook also there I have a link of where u can buy ur own phantom. Have a great day.
Thank you very much. If you or anyone are interested on Me putting a set up together I'm doing that now. You could check all that out on my Facebook page, the link to my Facebook page it's on the video notes, video description.
It was at its range, you could tell it was getting shakey up there. Had some glitches in connection. Awesome footage and thanks for risking your drone for some good footage.
Ha ha.. yeah, I know ... I am a Royal Caribbean IT employee...;-) Really nice range on your flight. Did you have a chase boat out there at all ...or just trusting you would make it back ok?
Nice video. Just made my first flight tonight with my new Phantom. Once I master the controls and get really comfortable with the performance, I will probably upgrade to something like you have. I was so nervous flying it out of my backyard, and to see you fly yours out to the cruise ship. BALLS!!!! Great job.
Thanks for watching. Yeah 1st thing everyone should do is to carefully follow all the instructions and get comfortable with their equipment. Then once you trust it then have fun with it.
that's crazy how you get that long range from those antennas. I just did a test exactly the same antennas as yours on my black pearl and it was crap. not even 20 feet I see soo much noise already
Yeah those antennas r not compatible with blackpearl I think. Or u might have a bad black pearl or setup wrongly. I wouldn't know cause I don't own one. Thanks for watching.
Ok, this is too cool. I'm going to Fiji in 2 weeks so went on e DJI website and bought it with an extra battery. Hope I get it on time so I can get some awesome footage like yours. How was the video feed to your iPhone when controlling at such a distance?
Check out this newer video in my new channel. It's a inspire 1 and a phantom 3pro chasing a cruise ship ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hslB28T09Sc.html
Great video ! Amazing how well the H3 3D works. Just shot a video in Wales of an old abandoned lead mine with really great results using the phantom 2 Aerial Video
Great to see the range of the Immersion 5.8 gear. Im running a TBS Discovery with the same vTX (600mw) but with the fatshark dominators and built in vRX using the spironet clover/skewplanar antennas, ive been struggling getting the confidence up for more than about 400m due to live feed starting to break up. Ive heard that if you fly through it then the signal gets better. Your video proves this as you got some break up around the 400-500m mark but was perfect beyond that. Great video and VERY brave over water ! ive had a fixed wing in the sea once (see one of my videos) but recovered it as it was foam and floated, the Quads wont float :)
Wow this was amazing. I will be going on the Allure of the Seas on Oct 26. Do you think you will film it that day? I'd love to see a video like this of my specific trip. Last year I saw all the people taking pics on the beach and wondered what we looked like from their view. I do not use facebook though so this is where I can be reached or my deviantart which is sorath-rising. I'm very impressed with the range on your quadcopter.
Mate, you are amazing. Good skills. Thanks so much for sharing your excellent videos. I'm an amateur pilot and I love seeing the world from above. The long range scenes are epic. Keep it up. I'll buy one from you. I hope you ship down under.
+BigVOLdaddy Thanks for watching, please check out this better video that i made in my new channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6N9Ib5cErEI.html and please subscribe if you like. Thanks for your time :)
Yeah no problem. I even have this video in my channel Dji Phantom 1 & 2 Setup that video will help u out also. Also if you want go to my Facebook page facebook.com/djicopters I have plenty of more helpful info there also and lots of other videos from my RU-vid channel. Hope u subscribe and like my Facebook page so u can see when I upload or give tips in my channel or page. Have a great day or night.
carlocivicsi Yup liked your page on FB over the weekend and watched a video were you talk about your setup. Again, much appreciated. I bought my Phantom v1.1.1 last January and am totally hooked. Now I'm trying to soak up as much info as I can. I have the Tarot V-2D Gimbal, and now want a good first timer FPV. It won't be as nice as yours, but it helps me figure out whats available and at what price.
Wow! All i can say is "my friend you have balls!" I was holding my breath as you were approaching the cruise ship wondering if you were going to make it There, than have enough battery life to come back! I didn't know about the double battery packs best FPV yet!
Nice pretty ballsy.. But having said that My only problem is you flying that high on the departure corridor from Hollywood Lauderdale International ( FLL) which is only a mile away Smaller airplanes don't be that high due to departures vector to keep them lower so jets can depart the area quicker..That is just asking for trouble.
I wouldn't fly it over the water today I swamped my hobby grade helecopter when the wind blew it out of control and it fried in the Caribbean salty water
Hello friend, when you have a time update the links of the equipment used in the construction of the drone, there are some that no longer work thanks ....
Nice job! Seems to be very little breakup in the video, I don't think the antenna on my phantom is long enough! I fly over water but usually just chasing wakeboarding boats Loch Lomond Wakeboard
you can use satellites' for gps position hold but not for control transmissions..why is that..oh yeah so we cant have the good drones like the government. Too much range for a civilian. Video is done by weak wifi and control by radio with no dragon link..I know the score and I may have the answer too !
Hello. I was about 2.1 miles away from take off if I remember correctly. Watch this new video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6N9Ib5cErEI.html on my new RU-vid channel. Thanks. 😀
does anyone have an up to date list of what devices are compatible with the phantom 2 vision and app ? Also are any tablets compatible as the sales team at Dji wouldn't say yes or no but kept pointing me to the few devices listed on the spec page ? any help will be appreciated as am now very confused. :)
Great video! Getting ready to mount my zenmuse. Wish I had it when I done my latest video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--B14c8g9y-o.html
It seems you are limited by your video signal range and your time flight, like most of people who make FPV with multirotors even your failsafe seemed to be activated on the way back :) Great job!
Thanks for ur comment. Yeah like any multi rotor flight time has to be watched all the time. I also have a FPV plane that I can fly longer range. But flying with the phantom it's fun also. check out my Facebook page if you would like facebook.com/djicopters have a great day.
bro this is a awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!! one question: did you add any aftermarket controller/rcvr/transmitter to get that long range in controling your quad that far?????
Tis was Ft Lauderdale Florida. And no I'm not afraid anymore. My 1st time I was very nervous. Check out my Facebook page facebook.com/Djicopters thanks.
I understand what you mean by nervous. but the idea to "purchase" a cruiser boat is very original... I was really afraid that you had the idea to take on it a few seconds at a place without people and then landing off. or juste turn around the boat !!!!!
Nice setup and video. I just started FPV this week with my P2. Using the black pearl monitor, dji avl58 downlink, iOSD mini, gopro hero 3+ black, and h3-3d gimbal. Will the patch antenna work on my black pearl to help extend the range? Farthest I've seen is on youtube a guy went 1km but direct line of sight on the roof of a building. I'm also looking at DSLRPros CF props to maybe get more flight time. I live in Ft. Laud so maybe I'll see you out flying on the beach one day too.
Thanks For watching. I've never used a blackpearl monitor. And I don't know what antennas u r using. All I know it's that the patch antenna does work good. I don't wanna tell u that it will drastically improve ur reception with the blackpearl cause like I said I've never used it. Also have in mind that I also didn't have any obstacles in my way and that I was flying in a open area. I have a Facebook page on the video description if you would like to follow me there. Thanks.
That's awesome that you had such great FPV during the flight. I got my P2V+ a week ago and I'm using that WiFi booster app, which helps a lot, but I want more FPV range. I mostly fly over water here in Newport Beach (Orange County, CA) since it's so thrilling and I'd love to go further. Thanks for the great views of Ft. Lauderdale. I grew up in Broward County and spent most of my life in South Florida.
