Going to get myself a Quad but which one?

[Jacks9930]

I am going to a Quad copter and a FPV set up soon as a birthday present to myself. I was thinking of a DJI Phantom 3 Professional https://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=DJI-PH3P and a Fat shark FPV https://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=FAT2300 But there are so many options now a days. My budget is $3,000. What your thoughts and opinions? Is there a better combo in my price range?

DJI is the go to standard for most people and tend to be fairly reliable.

If I had the money Id like to have a Yuneec Q500 Typhoon but thats not even half the price of your budget, I havent looked at anything bigger or badder than that cuz I dont have that kind coin

If I were spending that kind of money there's no way in hell I'd buy anything that's RTF (ready to fail / fall), or DJI. Not to mention if you're going to be getting into FPV flight, there is literally a ton of stuff to learn, and you need to know your aircraft inside and out for when problems occur. For these reasons, I highly recommend building yourself, not to mention I trust my building skills and quality control a lot more than the 7 year old forced labor that builds the RTF stuff.

Hpiguy has some valid points and I'm sure you will be learning quite a bit about your Phantom. That being said, WOW! Those vids are VERY impressive! Best of luck with your purchase and please, keep the vids coming!
