Help with choosing a drone

[Diomar]

Hi all. I need some advice. If you were going to buy a drone which one you would choose, the DJI Phantom 3 Advance or the Profession model. If the difference between them is just $10. Thanks for your help.

If serious about getting into drones join a club and build one. Like PC's you will get something far better with more upgrade options

From DJI's FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

What is the difference between the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced?

The biggest difference between the Phantom 3 Professional and the Phantom 3 Advanced is in the camera. The Phantom 3 Professional is capable of shooting spectacular 4K video at up to 30 frames per second, and the Phantom 3 Advanced is capable of shooting at resolutions up to 2.7K. Both models shoot 12 megapixel photos.

For only a $10 difference definitely go with the Phantom 3 Professional.

Because of the relatively small difference in price, I would spring for the professional model because of the great camera.

dji in general is already pretty good.
i wouldnt worry about building the first one yourself.

but without having any background in flying heli/plane or mr (i asume), i would start with something smaller

i prefer mode 2, if u want throttle on the other side, its mode 1

with the larger prop/legs combo, u can even carry a cam.
