According to XE.com, 800.00 GBP = 1,151.09 USD. You'd have to factor in shipping obviously - I'd only use a trusted international carrier like UPS or DHL, and it'd have to be insured!

Update: Price dropped.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not really tempted to split at the moment.

Hi, I'm ashamed to admit I've barely even looked at my P3 advanced since I re-started work towards my private pilots license, and it seems a shame to have it sat in my bedroom unused. I purchased it in June 17th 2015. It has been lovingly cared for, never crashed, only used on perfect days and...

That's another item to add to the pre-flight checklist then! Actually, I'll check this tonight - it could explain why my P3 always yaws to the left when pitching forward to accelerate.

I ordered one from HK. It was $120 & looks exactly the same as the DJI pack, without the logo. To date it's performed flawlessly. Once the lid is shut and zipped, nothing moves and I can hike merrily away. My only gripe is that it can't hold two sets of spare props AND the mains battery...

When I originally read this story on my FB feed I was on the side of the shooter. It was clearly portrayed with the subtext of a pervert spying on his kids - in which case, I wholeheartedly support the actions of the parent (although thankfully firearms are far less prevalent here in the UK)...

On my second flight I ended up spending over an hour picking strange fruit from the bebop tree. It's a horrible, tacky product that really isn't fit for public consumption. I chose an area devoid of obstacles & it literally flew away over my head. I received a full refund.

Over here the CAA define it as 500m. Personally, I'll happily exceed that as long as I can comfortably see what's around the drone. It's possible to lose sight of the drone at close range without obstacles if the background doesn't offer contrast. When flying at long distances, I'm more...

Obviously the P3 knows where level is. Why can't it tell the camera? I hope this is a simple firmware fix... Another quirky thing I've noticed is camera yaw correction with the craft still on the ground & the motors stopped. Try it on level concrete. It's like the z axis gimbal motor is using...

I've performed numerous cold IMU calibrations on a perfectly levelled surface and it makes no difference. I've adjusted it numerous times mid flight, and it's fine until I make a turn... If anything, the -1.3 roll correction I seem to have to regularly make often turns into double that when the...

Same here.

My bundle battery arrived Saturday. Now I have three! Oh, the decadence! And Last night I had an email from DJI to say my fourth pack has shipped. I only have 3 slots in my hardshell backpack (with an option to carry one mounted into the P3). I'll be giving pack 1 a bit of a rest. After the...

I'd suggest using some strong fishing line to make a tether for your next 'flight'. Tie one end to the phantom, and the other end to a stake in the ground. If you can replicate this error I'm sure DJI (and other P3 pilots like us!) will be very interested.

So you don't want to buy mine for £600 + postage? :p
