Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's still early, but my impressions are really quite gleaming for this little fella. My first few flights have been remarkably stable and intuitive. I'm new to flying, but the phantom 3 and the app are really great even if you're a newbie. Here are my current thoughts and considerations: -Price point considering the gimbal and camera are excellent -Stability even in fair gusts of wind is better than i imagined -Gimbal is remarkable, the first flight it was wonky, but from then on its been great, can achieve 'locked off' type shots (crazy impressive) -Battery life is decent, same as other copters, get extra batteries! -Camera quality is on par with gopro, and nearly Zero distortion/fisheye effect -App is really great, a bit overwhelming at first, but once you digest it it's great. -Complete control of the camera through the app and controller, LOVE this -Really wish it could become more compact for travel, needs its own carryon size case -Wish the charger was more like a dock. -Controller has to be recharged, wish it took AA batteries, but thus far it looks like the built in battery is huge and will last lots of hours. -My droid turbo runs the app like a champ, but really need a bigger tablet with a sunshade I will update as i continue to fly, i am going all out with a log book of every flight and will be planning lots of visuals and hope to get FAA exemption as i'm a professional videographer and would love to use it commercially. Which is another bit of advice: to date you CANNOT use a copter for commercial purposes without FAA exemption. As a hobby under 400' is OK in the USA, but still be safe and don't go messing it up for the rest of us by flying over bridges and the white house, bad mojo. UPDATE 5/20/15: Several flights more and things are still excellent. Finding more and more functionality within the app. The ability to set height and distance restrictions is super useful. The app does have a way of working that can be annoying at first, such as how to expand/close windows. Two quirks thus far: The app appears to remain running on my phone even after exiting, and runs down my battery. Have to force close it. Also, i did a full power down between flights, and the app opened up to a frozen screen when i booted back up, and had to again be force stopped and then it ran fine when i booted it back up. My plan is to buy a samsung tab 4 to take over for it.
