He bought the wrong one. Now I need an upgrade path.

Look at what older series of Phantoms are going for on eBay, even damaged or parts items and you'll see that there's a ready and lucrative market.

A friend of mine has a 3DR and we spent some time flying them together this past weekend. Some of the pre-programmed flight paths/modes are pretty handy, but not necessarily for my work. The video is the same since it uses the same camera.

Forgot about those. Aren't they more expensive than the Phantoms?
 
Yikes!! You can get a P3 Advanced for $799. And I think it has waypoint capability, if I'm not mistaken. The Solo's do look cool though...

It flies really well and has similar flight times. I think their packaging is much nicer, both for the quad and the carrying case. As far as I can tell, it doesn't take third-party accessories, but it is supposed to be modular, making upgrades easier. I think of 3DR like Apple and DJI like Dell.
