Gang,
Going to be buying a refurbished Phantom 3 Pro or Phantom 4 in the next week or so and need some advice and recommendations.
First about me, been out of flying RC Planes for about 2 year but I flew for about 2 years and was a competent pilot. Never flew quadcopters or drones and mostly flew fixed wing and wings.
Stopped flying since I couldn’t find anyone to fly with and really like to fly with a group of likeminded hobbyist.
Want to get back into flying both my fixed wings and get into drones. I also enjoy photography and this is what brought me to the DJI Phantoms.
Not for my questions and areas that I need advice on:
Which DJI Phantom would you buy? Getting the most for my money is more important to me that going for the lowest price Phantom.
The refurbished Phantoms at the DJI site seem to be a great deal. With the extra avoidance features, a little extra speed and flight time the Phantom 4 looks like the best overall value and will be future proof a little longer.
What is the consensus here Phantom 3 Pro or 4?
This is the list of accessories that I am currently looking at:
Extra battery
Anbee Black Lanyard Shoulder Belt Neck Strap Sling
12 inch cord for my IPad 2 air
Do I need a sunshade?
If I go up to 3 batteries is a separate charger worth it and which one?
Any other accessories needed?
What I am going to do before I first fly it.
Read manual at least 5 times.
Play with the simulator.
Develop detailed checklist and follow it.
Anything else to insure success?
When is it best to start looking at other flying apps and which one are the standards? How best are they used and are they necessary in the beginning?
Also thanks to everyone for this forum it really helps.
Roger
