And form everything I saw it was the best one to buy
Honesty I did a ton of research before i bought this drone. And form everything I saw it was the best one to buy. All around best quadcopter. I pre-ordered the Pro version and received it. Flew great for a few weeks and after the most recent firware update, the drone started to get an error on the screen, "Ultrasonic systems error, please landing immediately." I also noticed that it would not maintain a stable hover anymore. it would drift left to right up and down on its own. Long story short, EVERY rumor you have heard about their customer support is true. 6-8 week repair time and you will hear nothing from them on the issue. The ribbon cable issue: True. You have to purchase an whole new gimble and camera over a torn cable they specifically designed not to be replaced by buyer. Also, they haver designed the new model so that it is impossible for repairs by 3rd part repair centers. Has to go back to DJI. This product was released to screw the customer and benefit DJI in every way. Its bad business. Its just too bad because it really is a good product, if it never breaks or has any issues. When i receive my phantom 3 back from the repair center, I will sell it (at a large loss) and purchase a different quad from a more reliable a consumer respecting company. There are many other good drones out there. It takes a lot for me to make the following statement, especially when it is a "well" designed product but.... whatever you do, DO NOT BUY THIS QUADCOPTER.
