Got mine. It's the real deal. I had been tempted to jump on the Amazon deal until this deal came along.

Considering you don't want to spend "a lot" of money I think the P3S is an excellent choice for a first drone that is not a toy (Tello). Shop around and consider a refurb if you can find one. I was gifted a P3S refurb by my family last year and it has been a great learning tool. Keep in mind...

I recently purchased a Thinktank Helipak. They make 2 versions with V1 carrying the AC in the lower portion of the pack with customizable storage on top. V2 reverses the layout putting the AC on top and storge below (there are other minor differences). I carry my ARGtek upgraded RC with...

Joined this forum this morning after running across it researching ND filters on the Internet. I was gifted with a P3S last October. I am new to drones but experienced with photography. None the less I'll be learning the techniques that apply for these types of cameras and the flying tripod...
