Will the Phantom 3 be as useless as the Phantom 2 Vision+?

And how did you get your hands on that? I thought they were still weeks out?

I purchased it from the people who flew it at the launch

Well then, that makes you a pretty important data source for us

Totally satisfied with my P2V+ purchase and experience thus far. Very easy to fly in both modes. Very adequate camera. The market in US and abroad have totally accepted the product. That is what convinced me to buy in the first place. If anyone finds it flimsy, maybe they should look at their piloting skills. I find my Phantom very robust and enjoyable. Can't wait to go commercial, awaiting FAA certification.

The gimbal is not flimsy at all get an rc killer gimbal guard and works wonders. Have had my p2+ fall about 10 feet and with the guard on no issues. Mine works great. I'm would say with the killer rc guard the gimbal is as robust as any gimbal of the same size. My p2+ flies a lot longer then just the p2 with gimbal. If like how the p3 had gone, an all on one package. Trouble with the p2 is to get it up to the vision standard it added a lot of weight and almost half the flight time of the vision+, but even still the p2 still lacked many of features the p2+ had.
