Hi All,
I spent many a month reading reviews on video drones and have decided on the Phantom 3 Advanced. My question to you good folks is:
Is it worth the risk to buy one from anywhere either DJI or an authorized dealer?
I'm actually giving thought to buying a refurbished one from DJI as it states it's merely a returned product within 7 days or purchased that goes through a full refurb and includes same-as-new warranty. Sounds like I can get one for $639.
Do you folks buy additional batteries from DJI or other sources, i.e. ebay? Looks like they're $149 from DJI and approx $58 from ebay providers...
Lastly, are there any initial purchase you strongly recommend? I'm a simple user - just want to take video flying over my house and the like. No plans for high-action scenarios or picture taking. Definitely no plans for being a flying wizard, racing around or going into dangerous areas.
Thanks in advance!
Jay
