Is that version 3.0 Tim? Is that the stock camera? I'm just wanting to check my options.

Tim, I do not know what Phantom Vision means? I have a double issue. I have 10% of my vision in my left eye. My loss of depth perception comes from my brain not using my left eye for information since it is blurred. This caused the left eye to not focus on the same spot as my right eye. My case also gives me double vision.

For those who do not have this issue. Cover one eye try and walk up steps or open a door, shake hands. Simple tasks that will have you smacking yourself with doors. tripping up steps. Shaking peoples fingers instead of their hands. After 47 years the steps and doors are not an issue. Shaking hands is still an issue. I do not know how to correct it.

Every time I am in an airport, getting on or off an escalator is a challenge. I can miss judge the step as it disappears under my feet.

I have the DJI Phantom Vision 2+. On Amazon, get the one with the spare battery. Also spent the $7 for the prop guards.

Lefty, I poured a lot of milk on the kitchen counter until I learned to touch the jug with the glass. Yes, everyone would protect their eyes better if they spent a morning with 1 closed. Just brushing your teeth and getting the cap back on the tube can be a challenge. Also having an artificial leg, I have to be really careful at roof edges as I can't tell if I'm 2" away or 4'. It is amazing how fast your brain adapts to this - my brain knows how big pea gravel is, this if there are hundreds of stones between my shoe and the gravel stop, I know I'm a ways away. If there are only a dozen stones between my shoe and the gravel stop, I instinctively know I'm pretty close to the edge.

Same goes for the drone - I resist the temptation to hover it 5' up and grab it out of the sky because with no depth perception, that's a good way to get fingers in the props.
