    DJI Phantom 3 Professional $550.00 (DJI Refurbished Unit)

    Funny, had a similar experience. Tried to power on the transmitter and would not. Plugged in the charger and only had one light. Took about 3 1/2 hours for the full charge. After almost 30 years of RC heli's. was not used to that long of a time to charge.

    DJI Phantom 3 Professional $550.00 (DJI Refurbished Unit)

    Got mine this morning, looks like brand new, now just have to figure out how to do the setup. Going to be a long time before setup though, controller would not power on and only has one light blinking, so will have to wait likely several hours for an adequate charge.

    Phantom 3 batteries

    Tried our BB this morning and they would not match GS. Kid that rang it up was all willing to do it but it came up as a manager override and he would not do it to GS. Would do it to Amazon though at $126.85
