Hey fellas, new guy from Texas here. I have never flow a quadcopter but I am considering buying one which is why I signed up here. I looked for a begginers section but the only thing I found was a thread on tips for safe flying etc. and you can't even post in it.
My question is would a Phantom be good for a beginer? In my research ie. googleing "best drone for beginners" a bunch of smaller beginner units selling anywhere from under a hundred bucks up 2-300 come up. As with any hobby I have gotten into, I know once you get proficient the beginner unit is not enough and you start warming up the debit card for the next best model.
Also in my research it appears the DJI/Phantoms are the best of the best and with the technology these days (auto hover, return to base, obstical avoidance) it seems to me a Phantom 3 is beginner friendly without sacrificing features such as camera quality, range, flight time etc.
To sum it all up, why spend 150-200 bucks only to spend another 5 or 600 two months later. Buy once cry once, or until a year or two.
Any and all opinions are welcome, THANKS!
