I've been on the verge of pulling the trigger on one of these. Which version did you get?

Hey Paul, I have the Phantom 2 Vision+. If you want to check it out someday I'll bring it by the marina.

Did you watch the video? It's illegal 'cause the FAA says so. Now, if you are not a certificated pilot of full scale airplanes, the worse that can happen is you have your equipment confiscated (so that the FAA inspectors can have a new toy) and probably pay a hefty fine, but the real rub is if you are certified pilot and get violated on this, the FAA can take certificate action against your pilot's certificate.
Nice footage. I recently got a Phantom 2 Vision+, but I have had limited time to learn how to fly it accurately and carefully. I have been zipping around my yard at low altitudes in tight quarters, which is requiring me to improve quickly! I got it to take some good footage at the boat, but I don't think I am brave enough yet to take it out over the water! Do you land it back on your boat?
As for regulations, Canada is a little more lax at the moment, but I think they are soon to clamp-down...
