Nate-xt · Aug 21, 2016

So i have the P2 with gopro hero 4, im thinking about getting a fpv set for it. but the p3s are a good deal right now and i might be able to sell for a deal. Should i go fpv, or p3?

P3A or P3P then add FPV headset an option?

Litchi has fpv (vr goggle ). It is far better than the fat shark and other fpv setups

Any reason why you would not upgrade to the P4 (aside from price)?

Cheers

I have a P3S with a DBS mod antenna (I didn't like the range on the stock P3S) and I'm quite happy with it for now. I also have Litchi if I want to use VR with a headset. Even though I'm happy with my modded P3S, if I had it to do over again, I would buy a P3A or P3P. Personally, I can't justify the extra $ for a P4.

However, now that I'm hooked, I'm afraid that my P3S will turn into a gateway Phantom, constantly luring me toward bigger and better.

Fpv on P3 would need a good signal to get solid video feed. Did you have any 2.4Ghz amps? Otherwise just buy a P3A. As far as I know the P3S or 4K video feed will get choppy at 150-200m on stock remote (dense suburb area). I also heard the recent firmware for P3S is a total junk. Some people lose their signal at 30-40m on stock.

I have a P2 with the FPV setup. Just get a P3A. I'm actually considering selling my P2 for the P3A. I think I'm done working with wifi and want to upgrade to lightbridge.

I just need to convince the wife and find the best deal I can. [emoji5]

ok so i looked at the referbished models which seem like a good deal to me, but what does this mean?
The DJI refurbished Phantom 3 comes in two versions, each with a different type of motors (2312 and 2312A) with equal performance. We will ship the different versions of the refurbished Phantom 3 randomly.
what is the dif?
