And into a phantom 2 or 1.
I'm currently on my way home from vacation but was flying my fc40 over a vineyard yesterday when the owners son came up to me asking about it and how he was going to get the "$1300" version.
I told him no way! Not as your first quad. And I explained how DJI support is non existent and if you break anything on it like the camera or gimbal, you essentially have to buy a new quad or lose it for months while china repairs it and charges you.
I told him he is better off buying a phantom 1or 2 and modding it. Add your own cheap gimbal and go pro' both of which can be easily replaced if broken. But before anything else, I directed him to a cheap hubsan quad. Once he practices with that, then he can move up to the bigger stuff.
Hopefully I saved someone from losing $1300!
