JoelLukacherit's definitely a gr8 drone doesn't compare to phantom 4 due to it being a little slower and lacking obstacle avoidance systems ;) still a very nice drone. I would compare it to a Phantom 3 Professional w/ the 4K cam.

BadMaxWell I would say spend an hour checking youtube, phantom might be most popular atm, but it have worst customer service ever, plus lacks seriously of quality control, I'm looking to buy new drone and thinking of Q500 or Phantom 3 pro, as obstacle system does not justify for me 500$ difference (Amazon)
Hope that helps
Ps. Check out also Pro-drone pro, comes out end of the month and it will be very serious competitor to P4, yuneec also have long aviation history, nothing compared to Dji, and as much as I enjoy Casey videos, he have crashed already twice that drone, well couple of them, and he dont care about money, you should know that by seeing amount of lenses, top end cameras, drones, boards (busted) he fucked up ....

SickMedsExactly but those shots casey does i would not even try if it was my whole year savings but in those videos you can see how durable that thing is. Even if it crashed in water or left under the bridge for few days:) Another problem is i would need to buy new tablet and does that tablet need to be with sim card to connect over gps ? And with drone?

BadMaxLol, I see you saw most of his videos, true it stayed under bridge for few days, but another true is that it all corroded, proving again Dji have poor quality over price. And yes, it have to cleared, since he dont pay for them phantoms, its easier to be careless, but then again he is careless with most of his expensive gear.
GPS is a future of the drone, tablet should not affect it in any way, sim card or wifi, I have iPads, and would love to have 9" plus screen for the drone, but 5" build in in yuneec, will do the job as iPhone/android would do, so another money to spend with Dji, dont get me wrong, I was about to purchase P4, thinking over budget Inspire, even already having an ipad, but it looks to me, that there is too many glitches, lack of support, same goes to your drone software, once they dropped P3, and P4 came out, there is no more software updates to P3, same happened before, and I did owed P2 ...
Hate to bash them, as i always was fan of Dji, but before they snapped the market new companies with much more experience emerged, and I would be a fool to do not consider them as better alternative.
And believe me, I've done my research, if I wanted to spend as much as phantom 4 costs I would purchase before yuneec typhoon H, comes out this month and is a beast .... Other class thought, but defo value for what it have to offer

BadMaxThe crashed water drone, did not survive, neither I think the bridge one did, just because it gave signs of life it does not mean its flyable, proof, after first crash he received "officially 3 drones, and he gave them away" :p

SickMedsA am aware of that but the one from under the bridge(rhcp) still flew with new battery but camera was a bit shakey and i dont have plans to be reckless if i ever get one. Im in croatia and currently dji 4 is 2000$ that is a lot! So im currently watching for other options or just wait a few months to see how the prices go.

BadMaxHey BadMax, I'm in canary islands (spain) so neither easy to order stuff, besides, this drop only ship to USA, so unless you have forwarder like viabox.com you wont be able to order, check their services, been using them from few years, and ordering from apple US like new ipad pro 9.7" which i get it before they start to sell it in spain (actually is not available from anywhere else at the moment than apple store, which is a rip off), same way you can get P4 for 1499$ buddy, not 2k .... or perhaps less if you do your research well :p
I order most of my electronic gear from states, just because is available much faster and cost much less ! and all mayor companies this days are compatible with 110-220V, it is just the plug that need to be changed ;)

JoelLukacherIt was a huge waste of money compared to phantom 3 4k. my dad purchased the yuneec 4k uhd bundle because it was available immediately from FRYS electronics. it was a huge mistake it would constantly have issues with it either doing whatever it wanted to do or the opposite of what you told it to do. he finally got tired of wasting money of new blades and risk damaging it permanently. a while we have had very limited issues with the phantom 3 4k.
