Hi Newbie from NJ

Hi everyone newbie from Englishtown NJ. I have some RC Experience but never flown a Drone. Looking to get me a Phantom 3, since i can't afford a Phantom 4 anything i should consider when buying one? Looking forward to some good advise. Thanks!

Extra battery is pretty much a must. You can find package deals that will include extra batteries. Shop around and find out what's in your budget.

I had my phantom 3 standard for six months and I love it. Eventually gonna upgrade, but for now it's perfect for me.

Ya gonna be flying it at the racetrack?

 

[BlackScorpion]

OH no, the airfield is right next door can't do that! Probably start with it in my yard , i have almost an acre and only one tree in the middle of the yard ( probably the same tree i'll be hitting!!) Just kidding. Once i get my courage up and get comfortable with it i'll take to one of the many open fields down here, or i'll see if i can fly it on someones farm., doesn't hurt to ask? Anyways thanks for all the welcome and advise. Hopefully i will get to meet some of you guys in the future?

They fly drones at the road course during drifting events. Mostly experienced pilots. YouTube some videos it's badass!

 

[BlackScorpion]

Really? Gonna have to look that up. thanks for the info.

Np. I've shot media there quite a few times. It would probably be better if you try and link up with other people currently shooting there. Unless your really good at editing.

Editing is not a problem for me. Let me get my feet wet first before i start ding anything.
