I first thought I will build one but after alot of researching for beginning I will buy one.

with
devo F12E
3d gimbal iLook camera
ground station
and E8 charger

the second one is
http://store.dji.com/product/phantom-3-professional


what you suggest to buy for arround 1300$.

I like to have drone which can be operated with remote and ground station.
phone or tabled controlled
which have follow me
flight mission
safe return home when lost signal or battery drowned
and real time picture
 
Control by phone or tablet can be iffy particularly in bright sun or around densely populated areas where you can experience wi-fi issues. Check this one out. It does everything you want and when properly outfitted easily falls within your budget. As a plus they get kudos for customer service. A real bonus in our hobby.

I have already checked this one https://store.3drobotics.com/products/solo

What do you mean by "As a plus they get kudos for customer service"?
 
Haha! Most, not all, of the vendors for our young hobby can hardly spell customer service much less give any. Even DJI has their detractors on customer service, so when companies like 3DR, Kde Direct, XAircraft America etc. give good customer service they deserve a shout out. This IS a young hobby so there will be growing pains. It gets better every month.
 
BTW. As advanced as the Solo is , the Iris is nearly as sophisticated and uses solid, proven technology. What I really like about it is it can be changed and modified and hot rodded easily, while still doing 98% of what the Solo does. That speaks to the tinkerer in me. I can upgrade the power system, extend the arms etc., etc. My kind of quad. :)
 
Sorry for the late reply. Just got back in town last night. The website lists everything that comes with the RTF package as well as options such as a gimbal etc.

That's the same quad that was being flown by the teen who was attacked and assaulted by that crazy woman who didn't like him flying near her, the video is on YouTube, you can find a link in my post in general discussion.

Hahaha, that is an example of what people think of the hobby, really sad.
 
All too true. As long as we use common sense we can continue to enjoy our hobby just like the car, heli and fixed wing guys do. Combating the sensationalism of the media is difficult but necessary. I have been hoping AMA would be more proactive like the NRA. Instead they have seemed a bit wimpy. Fortunately our members seem to have common sense. Now all we have to do is figure out how to educate the ones out there that fly over people, or in National Parks, over Government buildings and other restricted areas. Until we do we will be looked at as evildoers.

I too got similar feeling that the AMA is wimping out and cowarding to the feds, they sure aren't no NRA lol.
