So, what did DJI actually change? Most importantly, the Phantom 2 Vision+ has a more flexible camera module. Not only can it be tilted a full 90-degrees (so that you can point it straight downward), it is now also mounted to a three-axis gimbal that compensates for any movement the quadcopter makes. This way, you’re always guaranteed to have a stable image. Just like its predecessor, the camera uses a 14-megapixel sensor and records either 1080/30p Full HD video or 720/60p HD video that can be played back in slow motion.
The Vision+ is also 50-percent faster than its predecessor, up to 50 feet per second, or 34 miles per hour. This ultimately means that you’ll be able to follow much-faster action. In order to make sure that you don’t run out of juice in the middle of a shoot, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ can stay airborne for up to 25 minutes on one charge, and there is a car charger available so you can always have charged spare batteries at your disposal.

If you’re interested in drones and wouldn’t mind getting your hands on one, DJI has unveiled their latest remote-controlled quadrocopter dubbed the Phantom 2 Vision+. The quadrocopter will come equipped with a 14MP camera that is capable of recording at Full HD video at 30fps. In fact it will also be able to stream back the content to you as long as you’re within 2,300 feet.
For those who owned its predecessor, the range has basically been doubled. DJI has also made improvements to its flying as the Phantom 2 Vision+ will be able to maintain its position even in face of winds up to 25mph. Other improvements include a 3-axis electronic stabilizer that will help make smooth videos.
Interestingly enough there is also a way to allow the drone to fly by itself by plotting a GPS course, although built-in safety controls will ensure that the drone will not approach restricted air space, like an airport, and also keep itself at heights to comply with the law. These software improvements made to the Phantom 2 Vision+ are expected to make its way to older models later on.
