    I get a solid 13-14min on the 350. I had to make myself set a timer to be safe. :oops:
    I'm good with that though - neck hurts from looking up so long. :rolleyes:

    Ok so i need some advise guys, i REALLY want a a quad copter. I am new to the market. So first im have a hard time deciding what i want. I love the idea for photo and video (as i do alot of hiking, boating, hunting ect.) but i also like the idea of racing them.
    So i need a good beginner copter, in the $1k range, nice camera, FPV would be nice, long distance would be nice. Any ideas?

    I was thinking this, but its more than i want to spend but might have to.

    The P3 is a relatively solid unit.. Can't go wrong with it for the most part...

    So, I've totally ignored this thread because...it didn't apply.

    Years and years ago, my husband used to fly remote control planes and helicopters (nitro). He was actually pretty good with the heli's.... Life happens.... and he hasn't flown in many years. He still has all his gear and heli's... but just hasn't been interested in getting all that stuff out again.

    A few orders on Amazon later..... we now have a Proto X nano and a Hubsan S4. Holy shit!!??? These things are frigin TINY!!! So of course, out of the box...he's flying these things all over the place and is super super impressed with their flying for their size.

    Me? I never bothered to learn simply because of the cost to repair them if I crashed. And believe me...I'd crash a lot!! So...I've been learning to fly these little quads. It's hard to get the thumbs to work and the brain to process it (or process fast enough). I've gotten better in just two days and not nearly as 'scared' of it. These things are sooo damn durable, its easy to feel better about learning knowing you can pick it up and start flying it again without any breakage.
    For $36...how the hell can you beat that??

    He's been eyeballing a few of the higher end with cameras. These little ones are just a 'taste' (for him). He's hooked all over again. LOL

    There are far worse things to be hooked on. There are also far cheaper things to be hooked on, but we try not to think about that part...

    I have a DJI Phantom 2 Vision that my boss asked me to sell for him. It is approx 1 year old, and is in like new condition, was only flown 3 times , paper is still on the remote control from the factory. I was going to list it on ebay, but saw this thread and thought id mention it here for 2 reasons.

    1. Maybe someone here would be interested in purchasing? If so, let me know and i can can send pictures, info, etc.

    2. Could anyone here give me an estimate of what it might be worth?

    Thanks.

    How much are you asking, Ice Horse...if you don't mind me asking? Just trying to get a feel for what would be reasonable.

    My buddy just sold his P2 with less than 10 flights and a wired up and ready to go (Chinese) gimbal on FleaBay for $375.00. But then take out their fees and costs to list. And you end up with what, $325.00? Hope this helps.

    I'd have to post a pic. The charger came with at least 12 different adapters. The balance lead plugs in but not the main pos/neg lead.
    Charger says batt not connected. 4 different types came with it but none match. :(
