Meh, the advance model dropped to £324 on Amazon for a day last year in November, friend got a right bargain. Gearbest coupled with DJI customer service, you might as well set fire to your cash.

good drones if u dont suffer from poor range, this runs on wifi so in busy areas it will struggle, well mine did.

you would be better with the one from tomtop, yes its $10 more but you get 9% cashback from quidco mine tracked at £28.56, they get sent by priority mail and its dispatched from Netherlands with ups even though it states china, so guaranteed no customs charges.
The standard is a bit crap. The Advanced is the minimum spec I would consider.

its classed as a good beginners, so people will move on to better if they want or settle for this one and be glad they did not spend 2 or 3 times as much.

Beginners quads are things like the hubsan x4 or syma x8c, stuff with no GPS failsafe or RTH. Cheap to repair and will take a beating. If you lose GPS lock with this and have no idea how to fly without headless then you're stuffed, and also a large reason why beginner quad flyers who dive straight in to a phantom or typhoon give the hobby a bad name when they have no clue on control.

do a google search DJI store class this drone as perfect for beginners, DJI PHANTOM 3 STANDARD DRONE FOR BEGINNERS ETC ETC ETC.
i agree in what your saying in a way, just wondering what the person who said the phantom 3 is a bit crap would say about the ones you have mentioned ?

You wouldn't buy a self driving tesla as a first car, you'd go for something a bit crap like a Corsa or a Polo. Same applies here. The phantom 3 standard isn't crap at all, its no Typhoon H or Inspire, but its no where near the price. Granted for a bit more you get the far more capable advance, but even that (and the inspire) is prone to drop outs due to way video is on 2.4 and control on 5.8.

Why wouldn't you buy a tesla as a first car, if you have the money to buy it? A beginner is more likely going to look after this and learn to fly it properly than a cheap drone that's prone to failure and has zero failsafe or safeguards in place for flying near airports.
At this price its the perfect beginner drone

A good point. Not sure if the Advanced is so much more expensive but it's certa8more than this.

Love mine done over Ninety flights now, get about 3/4 of a mile range in the country, the Litchi app opens it up to get features of its bigger brother- spare battery is handy, I had a spurious spare battery and it is as good as the dji original.
