Hello everyone,
I am hopefully (pending Craigslist sale) buying my first Phantom quad copter in two days (Phantom 3 Standard). I have been reading, watching and learning as much as humanly possible before flying. While I consider myself a technology enthusiast and I am an IT Systems Administrator, I take flying something this big and powerful seriously. I have flown a smaller quad (Syma x5c-1) and I have a very good handle on it. The Phantoms are on another level. I'm excited.
I envy those of you who have vast resources to own all the best gear. I've never owned a Phantom because I believed I could never afford one. Now that I'm getting an insane deal on the basic Standard model, I am still unsure of whether I can afford accessories but I'll buy them in stages.
It's nice to have found this site and I've already experienced meeting some of you in the one thread I started. You seem like a good bunch. Look forward to learning a lot here. It is nice to have a group not solely dedicated to photo/video. I like words as well.
Scott
