I wonder if anyone has received their new Iris+. If yes, I'd love to hear their feedback on the new copter's performance and flight time. Thank you.

I got mine last week, and have done 2 flights, just messing around. I too live where there are a lot of trees, so I'm not going to play with anything autonomous until I go to an open field. Too much $$$ to watch fly away into the trees! So far, I really like my Iris+. I also sprung for the Tarrot gimble, and the hard case.

I've had mine for a few weeks. A few dozen flights. Two crashes upon landing, I set the throttle all the way down but IRIS vetoes that, flips over, slinging gravel, breaking props...need some sort of kill switch so once it has landed, I can stop the motors!
When the IRIS+ is behaving, it is awesome with 15 min. plus of flight time with tarot gimbal, gopro.
I have used a nexus 7 to do auto mode stuff, worked as advertised.
I shall try that.
Can anyone out there explain how to source the problem.
I like how it flies, but have only had it for a week.
Also, my altitude seems to be restricted to 30 to 40 meters. I know there must be a simple answer to this.
Could my geofence be somehow smaller ?
Guess I'll be flying my Phantoms till this gets fixed
Sounded like your geofence is set to 40m in altitude and a radius of 50m. Take a look at Mission Planner. It is very easy to change those settings. http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/ac2_simple_geofence/
nice pic.
can you please take a pic of the Iris+?
Here she is. With the help of Their tech guy Roger, I was able to activate channel 8 on the radio. In mission planner you can assign it any one of a bunch of commands. I set it to activate simple mode and it works perfectly. This is a very versatile machine.

The arms do look a bit longer. So now its a 550?
Did you have the first Iris? And how does it compare?
Thank you
Awesome. Now thats more like it.
will you please post video of it?
