Hi
Hopefully by xmas time i will be the proud owner of a Phantom ive been reading the forum and have some questions that hopefully you will answer for me, bear in mind that ive flown the Hubsan mini drone only and am looking at this as a hobby, On the whole im looking to break into the UAV club but want to be sure that i buy the right piece of kit for a first timer
1) Cost: i see that RCGeeks is selling the P2V for around £700 with a spare battery is this about the right price to pay for a new one, or is there somewhere a better offer.?
2)New or Old, are second hand ones ok to buy and if so any good places to look?
3) i see there is a Phantom 1 and an FC40 on RCGeeks, both are these are lower priced, so is it wiser to maybe buy one of these and a seperate GoPro camera, how are things like flight times, control of unit in relation to the P2V, cost of gimbal, is additional cabling needed etc
4)does the above 2 units have the same things as a PV2, in relation to GPS, failsafe, Home and course lock etc, and are they reliable ie does the fact that they are first generation (i assume this, however feel free to kick me if im wrong) mean they are prone to issues, if so what are they
5) The PV2+ looks nice but is a little out of my price range, however if this is a better alternative i may combine xmas/birthday and buy that instead.
Ok thats it, thanks for any replies
PS im from the UK
