The most cost-effective solution to reach idealized aerial photography should be DJI Phantom 2 H3-3D. The FPV kit includes a quadcopter, a H3-3D gimbal, a HD camera, Li-polymer batteries. And you’re not required to cost much time on installation or adjustment. Hereinafter I’ll take a closer look at the all-in-one as well as all-inclusive FPV equipment.
First of all, DJI Phantom 2 H3-3D provides phantom 2 new version featuring advance attitude stabilization algorithm. Let alone, the all-in-one flight control module contains inner damping, controllers, 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer as well as barometer. There are three control modes, namely GPS attitude mode, attitude mode and manual mode. Pilots can freely switch between the three modes in accordance with personal need and experience.
In addition, plug and play GPS module provided by DJI Phantom 2 H3-3D is for precise position hold, with GPS Module, DJI phantom 2 version can have position and altitude locked accurately even in windy conditions. Hovering accuracy is approximately 2.5m horizontal and 0.8m vertical. Besides, return-to-home and fail-safe function are supported by GPS module. Once phantom 2 gets lost with transmitter, hobbyists can trigger back the quad-copter.
What’s more, DJI Phantom 2 H3-3D gimbal not only provides tilting and canting, but also allows the camera like Gopro Hero 3/3+ to pan side-to-side. The gimbal control unit is built into Phantom 2 version without additional internal hardware to install in terms of plug and play operation. Adjustments and firmware updates can be made through the assistant software which allows to download from DJI.
Furthermore, DJI Phantom 2 H3-3D utilizes DJI Light-bridge 2.4G full HD digital video downlink, featuring a native OSD system that needs no additional equipment. Once connected, you can control the remote controller through built-in 2.4GHz control link or 5.8GHz control. Remember: you shouldn’t turn on WIFI system of both DJI Phantom 2 and GoPro camera, cause DJI Phantom’s WIFI and the GoPro camera’s WIFI run on the same frequency,
Last but not least, the upgraded remote controller comes with many new features, such as a gimbal control dial, trainer port, built-in rechargeable LiPo battery with capacity of 2000mAh. There are two levels of battery protection: in the first level, the LED lights will blank to warn you to change the battery; in the second level, the quadcopter will automatically back to takeoff place.
