Trying to decide which drone is best to buy?

[Charles George]

I am looking at buying a drone, I am not sure which is best, the DJI phantom 3 seems to be good, and the Yuneec Q500+ seems to be very newbie friendly and has nice live stream video, which I really like, but only goes up 400' above ground. Any one have any ideas?

but only goes up 400' above ground.

In the USA that's the legal limit.

Either one of those will be good. I would watch youtube videos to help you decide on which one.

I personally would spends a little bit more and get the p3p if it is in the budget. It has an awesome camera, and a high def live feed of the flight.

You mean the phanton 3 ? they have several models, standard, advanced and professional I am new, should not take me long to learn to fly, so I want ont that is newbie friendly but is quality. I also been studying the yuneec, but it has hard altitude limits and lot of no fly zones

 

[ringolong]

Yup the professional version.

DJI is the same when it comes to limiting your flight locations, and altitude limitations, but they are implementing ways to allow you to fly in no fly zones, and you can change the altitude if you agree to terms.

Right now is a good time to buy from DJI. They have a good sale going on right now.

If your new to flying I would suggest you start with something light and cheap such as the Syma X5C-1 this is a good trainer, which is cheap to repair but is also a fun flier. It does have a camera so you can also practice taking videos and stills.
