I'm just curious. Why do Phantom's cost so much. Think of what $1,000 can buy you these days in technology. And what is a Phantom, 4 motors, a circuit board w/ typical electronics (compass, gps, gyro) and a plastic shell. Just wondering what others thought.
Anyone thinking the Phantom is expensive should have a look at the competition.I agree with the OP the Phantom is overpriced. For the price that DJI gets there should have been no issues with the cracks in the arms.

It amazes me people feel this way about any modern technology. You have a device that can fly over a few miles while filming in amazing quality all from the comfort of your back patio and we are unimpressed. Lol the Phantom 3 is an incredible piece of machinery.

Drones are going through massive price erosion and DJI leads on functionality. Functionality that cost $10,000 three years ago is $1,000 today. You can't build anything for the same price and get the same performance and ease of use.

Funny I ask the same thing about Apple products.
The difference is Phantoms are worth the money!
You have to pay to play. Try buying in Canada with a 38% premium attached because the prices are based on US dollarsI'm just curious. Why do Phantom's cost so much.

Unfortunately no. I'd love to have a spare so I can enjoy flying slightly risky areas without knowing that a problem will leave me grounded.Slightly off topic, but is there any place to buy a new P3P, with new motors and new shell, complete with gimbal and camera, but without the transmitter and battery?
Actually the P3 is a gift at the price.Let's face it everything these a days are over priced.If they weren't selling any they would lower the price but as long as people are paying that price they will keep on charging that.om sure the phantom 3 costed about 100 bucks to make
Thanks. That's what I thought. Odd that DJI sells the transmitter separately, but not the bird itself. They could immediately sell a bunch more to guys like you and me!Unfortunately no.

At DJI's price for a bare P3 + camera you're better off buying a whole new unit and almost everything on ebay is people selling off the bits after they crashed or lost their bird.
