I love my P3P. I got it for $699 when Microcenter had them on sale. I fly basically in the woods with thick 30' plus trees. The max range I got on stock antennas was 8/10 mile. I put a DPS range extender antenna on for $116 and got 1.32 miles the other day. That is almost twice the distance. I would like to see how far it goes in the open but there aren't too many areas like that where I live. I have a friend with the P3S and he can't get anywhere near the range that I get. They are light years different. I lost signal once and figured out that if I turn the bird 180 degrees and fly backwards I actually get a lot better signal for some reason. Must be the exposure of the antennas on the legs.I have been reading the posts about the advantages of the P3A/P over the P3S and I am conflicted: I now have the P3S with argtek antenna. Just got back from a large park (next to a large hospital), and I was only able to get about 200 meters distance before the bird heaved up and I got the "end of range" warning. I am ready to sell my P3S and jump up to P3P. How do you guys sell the phantom? EBay. (I looked for "classifieds" here on forum.)

I have a P3P and had a P3S before. I would recommend P3S. For regular aerial video/photography, it is the same as P3P. P3P might give me extra distance but I rarely take photo and video miles away. And 4K video is not for everyone.I am in the market and trying to decide which to buy. I can get great deals on 3 DJI and don't want to break the bank but also want something that is fun to play with good pictures and videos.
P3S $349
P3P $699
P4 $979
Is the pro worth double more? Or the 4 worth $630 more. This would be my first drone and crashing a $1000 drone would not be good.
Thoughts?
Can you tell a big difference between 2.7k video vs 4k?
