    2nd time drone owner

    Hello all, I am considering what to buy for my next drone. My first was a phantom 3 standard. I am watching some really good reviews on the following drones: Holy Stone hs720e, Hatsan Zino Pro and some others in the $300 price range. Are these really legitimate long term drones? As in fly an...

    Is this an aftermarket antenna set up?

    I bought a used P3S recently and it works/flies very well but only gets to about 800' before I start getting the "weak signal" alert. I'm wondering if this is the standard antenna setup or an aftermarket one and if there is anything I can do to make it get a better signal?

    Black props for visibility

    Attitude mode

    I just purchased my P3S and am waiting on some new props to get here. I didn't get a book and don't want to mess up while flying it. Is Attitude Mode the same as flying a regular non-GPS drone?

    Two things (P3S)

    OK, I have been asking questions about the the phantom 3 standard and I went ahead and bought a used one for $200 yesterday. I asked the guy before I drove to meet him if there were any stress cracks on the arms as I have seen that this can be an issue with the phantom drones. He said that there...

    if you had to give one up (P3S & Spark)

    I sort of asked this question before but in a scenario that wouldn't ever happen (except possible financial hardship) but for those of you who own both. If you had to give up your P3S or your Spark, which would you keep and why? Sorry for all the questions but I'm really close to pulling the...
