I love my p3s[emoji576][emoji100][emoji452] [emoji175][emoji119]. My first drone was the parrot bebop, I was so happy when I got it. The reason I went for that one was because you didn't need a controller just your cell. I went through 6 of them. They were completely unreliable and got nowhere near the distance that it claim to, I got like 150ft. So I upgraded to DJI phantom 3 standard. And OMG!!!!! THIS THING IS AMAZING. first the camera is unbelievable. Second the distance is great, I'm not looking to go a mile away from me I like to keep it in sight. Third is that it is extremely reliable. I have great faith in it. But with that said I have had two flips on take off, with no damage except props, but I blame myself. Poor choice in takeoff areas that lead to compass errors. Lesson learned.
I live in Chicago and use it to take unbelievable photos around the city and fun now is wanting to learn videos editing. So I get out as much as possible. I go out early in the morning to avoid people as much as possible downtown at prime locations. That is also a lot of fun for me, trying to find new awesome locations to fly at and kind of push the limits a little just to get the heart racing lol.
And finally the best part is customizing my drone. Finding the right gear to fit you. In the past month I've gone nuts. Got an awesome backpack, Two new batteries for $50 buck each from target and best Buy thanks to the game stop ad. Polar pro filters for $15 sale at best buy. A case for the filters. I skinned my drone in black camo. And went through a couple of different opinions on cell and tablet holders till yesterday when my inspire mount came which is the best choice. but I'm not drilling it in though. Sun shades for cell and tablet. silicone cover for the controller. Next purchases will be Round flat thumb rockers for the controller, foldable take off mate, colored metal mount for the inspire device holder, multi battery charger, & car charger.
I love this drone
