If you're on a budget, Phantom 3 Standard. If you can afford it, the Advanced or Professional version. They're all easy to fly and have beginner modes and simulators so really any model is good to start on.
I'm assuming you're after something DJI made owing to the fact that we are on PhantomPilots.com lol

Haha yeah... dji seems to be the best brand out there... thanks... I would like to go with a A or P but not at a 700 price pointment with the S around 400... is the difference really worth it
You'll still have fun and get some great shots with the S but obviously signal range is a lot less on that. For that reason, I would swear clear of it. However, first drones often don't last as long as your second

Keep an eye on our classified section.

The P3 pro and Advanced use Lightbridge for control and video signal rather than the old tech wifi used in the Standard.
Lightbridge is very much better and a huge improvement

If you do go up to the $700 Price Range you may look at DJI's eBay store, they have the Phantom 4 refurb for $729
I saw that and i might do that is if can't find a good P or A for 400 / 450ish.... extra 100 or so might be worth for a Phantom 4 even though it is refurbed

According to DJI all refurbs have been owned by the previous customer for a week or less, so at least they haven't been used for months.

Apply for a BestBuy credit card. 12 months interest free. Just make certain you pay if off before the 12 months is up.
Thanks buy we don't do CCs... don't have cash don't buy it... I have cash just looking for a deal and surprisingly you find them when you carry Greenbacks

The trick to CC is to pay the balance off each month. I'll looking for a P4P for $1300. I'll pay for it any way the person wants me to. I do understand what your saying, and I don't blame(agree) you.
i have a Phantom 3 Standard without the gimbal / camera / battery that would make a perfect trainer for $250 plus get the battery for about $70.
you can learn on it.
just an idea

Jump on the newest raffle. $25 is an excellent chance at winning what you want..

I think there is a way but I didn't think the standard can fly without the gimbal
At least it wouldn't send the data or telemetry to the phone or tablet
Yes I did! Should be here Friday! Excited to start learning it and should be out flying it with in a week or so!
I can't wait for you to get it! Read as much as you can and ask questions
Make sure to set your return to home altitude high and always fly on a fully charged battery Similar threads
