Just for info. and interest to others pondering what to buy
12 months ago I purchased a Phantom Vision 2+ then sold it in March and bought an Inspire 1 (X3 camera). The 2 were like chalk and cheese to operate.
I flew the Inspire around 200 times and had heaps of fun with virtually zero problems. My only difficulty was that the Inspire was almost too big to transport around to places where I wanted to fly. It was fine where I could park my car close by where I wanted to fly but not if I had to walk any distance.
So I have now sold my much loved Inspire and bought "a little" P3 pro and I must admit I am absolutely thrilled with its performance. I would challenge anyone to pick the difference in the videos and photos. It is so easy to put in the DJI backpack and walk to where I want to fly. And most importantly I am very very impressed with how well it handles flying in windy conditions (obviously not as windy as what the Inspire would take but I never flew in real windy conditions anyway). It is a brilliant little quad!!!!!
An added bonus is it doesn't seem to attract the attention that the Inspire did which at times was very annoying. I got sick of the increase in the number of people complaining about privacy etc and also curious bystanders with their questions. So far I've had 6 flights with the P3P in the same areas where I used to fly and not had one person approach me - that's heaven!!!!
And finally, the Inspire didn't turn out to be a bad investment because I bought it before DJI put their prices up and managed to get almost the same $$ back for it as I paid.
Anyway just thought I'd post this in case it's of interest to anyone not sure whether to buy an Inspire or Phantom.
