I have to admit that I was a typical RC flyer that 'hated' when the 'Drone boys' appeared .... then I decided that I wanted a camera carrier to video my grounds and house during renovations. I went through the typical WLtoys and Syma phases and then having been involved with club mates for some time with Phantoms .... decided to get a P3S. As 500m was all I needed - it fit the bill nicely. BUT once the 'bug' took hold - it was MORE MORE ....
I really enjoyed the testing I did and hope it helped others - obviously with DJI policy now to force updates - its now not so valid.
I have come to love the P3S and all its quirks and foibles. It drives me nuts sometimes ... but comes back to reward.
I have average distance that equals the Advanced and Pro models now (CE that is) .. took some work - but I'm a Modeller ... I scratchbuild ... modify .... push limits ... so it fitted in well.
Yes there is better of course - but I'm no professional flim maker ... just a hobbyist out to have some fun.
