Should I buy Phantom 1?

[husoaga07]

Hello! I found a deal for 800₺ (approx. 120$) that includes;
-2 batteries
-2 sets of propellers
-a strenghtened antenna
-1 set of prop guards
Is it worth it? If not, why?
I currently have a JJRC H37, but I thought this is a great deal since it's DJI, right?
But I'm not in a hurry. I'm gonna buy it (I think) 2 years later or so.
Should I buy Phantom 1 or should I wait for Phantom 3 prices to go down?

Can someone say the pros and cons of the P1? I know I created a thread before but I got an answer that says I should choose myself. But I’m new to DJI drones and I don’t know the pros and cons.

Thanks, but what I meant was how does this drone stand by today’s standards.

Well, is the first version of the phantom series. So it's pretty old, it does not have camera integrated. You can install a go pro compatible camera, not sure if the one you bought already have one. It's not compatible with the go app, it use another unsuportable app that don't remember the name. Basically the phantom 1 can be compare to cheap go pro compatible drones that you can buy anywhere.

A Phantom 1 might be good for your first drone, to learn on, without sinking several hundred $$ on. Just know that it has no collision avoidance or live streaming capability. If you want to capture photos or video, you at least have to invest in a GoPro or equivalent.
