Hi there,
I am new to the quad world and have never flown an RC aircraft before. I have done a lot of research on which phantom to get and am leaning towards the standard because of the low cost.
My reasoning is that a quad is a risky investment and I cant afford to spend the extra cash on the advanced and have it crash or go awol on me. Before making my decision I thought I should ask the advice of some experienced pilots.
Is it worth spending the extra money? Should I go for the standard or perhaps even hold off for a while and see what new tech comes out - with the Lily camera and Go Pro drone on the horizon I'm sure DJI will be releasing some interesting new tech in the next couple of years. Is it worth spending more for the better tech now?
Failing that is it even worth all the hassle? I would love to do aerial photography but I'm getting put off the more I read into it on these forums.
