Hi all!

We released the first version of the Vision Plus app today!

Download it from Google Play or via our new website

** Important **
When starting the app for the first time, you need to be connected to Internet in order to validate the app with DJI servers.

Feature Highlights:
  • Smart connection: You don't need to leave the app to go into your Wi-Fi settings, the app will detect your phantom's Wi-Fi network and automatically connect to it
  • Fast refreshing flight data (altitude, distance, speed & more)
  • Autorecord
  • Choose between Full screen FPV or shared screen video and map
  • Advanced Camera settings (including 4608x3456 photo size and contrast which are not in the official app)
  • Take Full HD photos while recording
  • Gesture based Gimbal control (touch down and then scroll up or down)
  • Tablet support
  • Hassle free map caching, disconnect by clicking the top button
  • Compatible with Vision, Vision Plus & Vision Plus with GoPro mod

Ground station mode is currently readying for a release. It should be released next week if all goes well but if you can't wait and want to check it out you can download it by following these instructions:
  • Join the Vision Plus Google group
  • Allow pre-release downloads by clicking Become a Tester in the Play Store (you need to join the Google Group before becoming a tester)
  • Download Vision Plus from the Play Store to update your app

Our pre-release version includes a fully functional Ground Station, you can load and save missions offline. There are no limits to how far you can place waypoints, except with no fly zones. You can set waypoints at up to 400m altitude, 57km/h and have up to 60sec wait time at each one of them.

Follow me & flight logs are coming soon!



FAQ:

- How do I connect to my phantom?
When starting the app for the first time, make sure you are connected to Internet. Then click on the top button and connection should happen automatically as long as your phantom and range extender are both turned on!
After the first startup, if your phone's Wi-Fi is enabled and you are already connected to the phantom's Wi-Fi network, the app will automatically connect. If you are not connected to the phantom's Wi-Fi network, it will first ask you for confirmation.

- Why are my maps showing as blank?
Unfortunately you have to be connected to Internet in order to download maps. In order to do that, either start the app with Wi-Fi disabled OR click on the top button if you are currently connected to the phantom.
Once disconnected from the Wi-Fi, you will be able to drag the map around in order to cache maps!

- What features are you planning to add in the future?
Our current plan in the near-future is to add a Follow-me mode, more Ground Station features such as POI, flight logs!

- Is this app compatible with a Phantom 2 Vision, or Phantom 2 Vision Plus, or both?
It is compatible with both the Vision and the Vision Plus.

- Can I use this app with a Vision Plus that has the GoPro mod?
Yes! Most camera features won't be available but everything else works!

- I have a suggestion, or a bug to report, what should I do?
Join our forums at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vctechplus/join and let us know or drop us a message here, we already have many planned features and we always welcome more ideas & suggestions!

How is the app at reconnecting to the phantom AFTER losing connection in flight? So far every developer app I’ve tried fails to properly reconnect if the signal is lost.
Also, just to be clear. Ground station is not available but “planned” unless you’re a beta tester?
Thanks!

Can you please also advise if you are working on a follow me feature and if so, expected ETA?
In GS, can you set the orientation of the Phantom for the flight ie. I want to fly a Hexagon - 200 x 200 x 200 x 200 x 200 x 200 and i want the camera facing inward to the Hexagon on the flight?

@flyingduck88
When I tried myself to go out of range I had ups & down, generally it will reconnect and show you the OSD data (altitude, distance, speed etc) as well as the location (on the map and on the radar). However for the video, I've had times where it would not reconnect. The reconnection is mainly handled by the SDK itself, one thing in my todo list is to try and see what can be improved in the SDK to make sure it reconnects to the camera 100% of the time.

@Northofthe49th
Follow me feature is in the works, I expect it to be in alpha next week. Should be in pre-release within two weeks if all goes well (meaning if I can get out and test it  which isn't always easy with the weather) and released soon after. This is just a rough ETA, it may even come faster!
For GS, you cannot set the orientation for now. I'm looking into adding this as well as a setting for the turn type.

I had the beta and just purchased the new version. I have not flown with it yet, just checking things right now. I noticed that when I am in FPV and I switch it in the upper left hand corner to GS, within a second or so the mode changes and says ATTI it doesn't switch back to GPS until I change back to FPV. Both switch 1 and 2 on my Tx are in the up position. I don't believe it should be showing ATTI, should it? I'm doing a test in my home with props off.

Thanks,

Jerry

@jtrjr I will double check this, you're right that if it shows Gps in FPV it should show the same in GS mode. That being said, in a home you generally don't get gps signal so it showing Atti is not surprising.

@BWJ Yes the app should work with P2V as well since the SDK also supports it.

Jato,

I've flown with it a few times now. The layout and large FPV are clean. The banked turns in GS are fantastic. GS has offline create, save and load. I've been having some crashes of the app on my new Nexus 7, not sure why but they're looking into it. After app crash, I lose all the log info and video so I can't really do much with it unless they can identify and cure the crash issues. I like the app, looks promising in V1.2. Just thought I'd drop you a note with my initial thoughts.

Jerry,Thanks for the info. I really do need to get out and fly the Phantom. Recently I've allocated my flying time to becoming a better heli pilot. I have  Nexus7 & Nexus5 so hopefully it works in them.

Please increase your Ground Station altitude limit from 1312 feet to no limit (like other after market APPs) or at least 5000 feet.
Thank you for your effort to produce an excellent product.

I just purchased the app, when I test it in home, I also see the same as Jerry.  The button on the top left shows Atti when in GS?  I too get at least 8 Sat's from inside my home.  That makes me nervous.  Is there an update to fix this?

Csi,

I took the gamble and hit the "play" button, happy to say it worked fine. I did 4-5 GS missions with it, all successfully other than some app crashes. Banked turns were very good. To me it's a new app so I'm moving along very carefully. It's a very clean interface.

@gsp171 in 1.2.1 there is now a setting where you can set the maximum waypoint altitude.

@csiami Sorry this is a display bug, it should be Gps and I'll fix that very soon!

Cool, I'm looking forward to the end of this rain so I can give it a try.  I really like the looks of it.  If POI is on the horizon that is what I could really use in the applications I have in mind.

I tested mine today. Im happy with it. But the speed settings are off some. I had speed set over 20 mph on some waypoints and it was going  around 18-19 or slower then speed set. Probably due to windy conditions, but I would think it would compansate for that.. But overall Im happy with it.

I noticed a issue last night after I uploaded my video. That it was not in the 720 format that i had it set at using the app. Even though it was set to 720 the last time I used it. Every time I open the app it defaults back to 480P or standard format. So I guess now as part of my pre flight check is to check the setting of the camera every time I open the app. Is there a "fix" for this? It wont save the setting.

Hello.
I have one question - the proposal.
Is it possible to add to the Vision Plus app flight remaining minutes counter in addition to rate percentages? Or, as in the free version progress bar? Small think but I liked it.

Greetings
Happy Vision Plus user

I bit the bullet yesterday and downloaded the app. Set up a short mission (5 waypoints) in GS and flew today in rather gusty 10-15 mph winds. Very easy to use and I like the way the OSD info is displayed, much easier to view. My first mission ever and will not be my last! Good job so far and keep up the good work.

How to do it?
When i try to take a photo while recording a message on the screen says "camera error" or something like this - it shows very quickly.

It should just work, start recording with the video switch on (red button), then switch to photo mode and push the take photo button (white). If you're having issues, you could try resetting your camera settings via the app, then restarting everything including the phantom (you will have to set your camera preferences again).

Mm, this is weird, I just tested it again myself today and it does work for me, and I know it works for a lot of people too, but I'm also aware of some people like you who can't get it to work. I wonder what the difference is. Do you have the latest firmwares for your phantom/camera? Do you have a vision plus v3?

I also tried use another 10 class SD card, but the same is happening
