I have a Phantom Vision (non plus) and my Inspire 1 is arriving tomorrow!!! OMG I am excited.
Anyway, I am considering putting my Phantom Vision on eBay and getting a Vision Plus for $899 to fly in addition to the Inspire 1. Here is my rationale for an expensive endeavor:
• At $899 (I will keep some of my original Phantom parts like batteries, etc.) I can fly the gimbal phantom in sketchier situations (mainly over cliffs at the ocean for my artwork) and not be as afraid of losing a $3000 machine should it take a dip.
• For now, only Phantom platform has Ground Station.
• The New AutoPilot app http://autoflightlogic.com/autopilotphantom adds incredible possibility to drone flying. Even if it is release for the Inspire 1 in the coming months I would be hesitant to use it on such an expensive machine.
• With two drones I can get closer, in air footage of the Inspire up in the sky.
• When flying with friends (so they can shoot what I am doing) I can have them use the Phantom and keep their hands off my Inspire 1!!
Anyway, I would love to hear if others are doing this and have the same rationale. I could just me trying to justify spending money I shouldn't!!!!
