Hello forum! I'm new here and fairly new to drones. I started off with a micro and once I got the hang of that I moved up to an X5C and quickly became a master with it, that thing flies like a dream! Wanted to try FPV so got a JJRC H26 and did not like it at all.. Bought a X8W and although its much better than the JJRC it still flies like a tank compared to the X5C.. (my initial plan was to eventually get a Phantom 3 Advanced) I had trouble with depth perception flying FPV since I had to fly close and around obstacles due to range limits.. I read that the X8W would carry a gopro so I rigged a mount and although it will carry it, its not very well (I think the battery cant discharge fast enough and the computer thinks its low voltage and tries to land often) And on to the question.. I think I want a nice drone with enough power to carry the gopro easily when I want to film but still have the agility and responsiveness of the X5C. Is there such a beast? Or am I better off Building?

What type of budget do you have? I also suggest the Eachine Falcon for a cheaper build to get you started, and you can even upgrade it later. However if you are willing to spend more, and want to get more for your money there are other, more expensive 250s, adn sub 250s that would handle a gopro.

What are you willing to spend and what are your goals in this really is what I am asking.

A bit of a home run there. :)

Haha, little bit of a typo there. However I meant more broad or long term goals, such as racing, freestyle, making money on youtube with free style/racing, some fun flying or perhaps later getting a a 333 exemption (out of date but you get the idea) for doing estate photography but you want it to also be fun for now.


So the purpose, perhaps required, and desired battery life, range, price for upgrades, price to buy, price of needed equipment and those type of questions.
