I would like to purchase a phantom. I already have a hero silver. What is the least expensive way to get into one and where should I purchase it?

I'm in the same boat. I have a sony action camera as30v and will probably just buy the phantom 1 without a gimbal. I can see this getting expensive though.

Since you have a GoPro, I would get the Phantom 2 with H3-3D gimbal. There's a lot of reputable places out there like Daves Motors or even eBay.
I personally would've gotten it from a reputable seller from eBay (max $959) because they have a cash back program (like 3% back each quarter I think) which does adds up if you buy from eBay often. So theoretically that's the least expensive route.
If you're after really good customer service though, I really recommend Daves Motors. :lol:
Thanks for the suggestion. I had not considered ebay. Im now tossing around the idea of assembling a flamewheel instead of a phantom. I have considerable cp experience and would likely enjoy the building experience.
Any opinions in the Taranis open tx radios?

Also, what is the difference between a phantom 2 vision and the non vision.

Regular P2 uses 2.4GHz for control channel, and doesn't come with camera or gimbal unless you buy it as a kit. P2V/P2V+ use 5.8GHz for control channel and 2.4GHz wifi for FPV, and always come with proprietary camera and gimbal.
I give the Taranis 3 thumbs up, it's an excellent budget-minded option with all the control capabilities of the more expensive brands. I use one with my Phantom and my custom hex.
