You know, I just wouldn't want to be two or three weeks without one in case there was some special footage I wanted to get or just wanted to fly.
The X5C-1 is small enough and inexpensive enough to even throw in the scooter trunk and carry around (WITH prop guards!). I've been out on the scooter sometimes and just park and go up for some aerial footage just because it looks interesting or I wanted to see what was behind / beyond / over something or just for the view. Can't do that with the Phantom. Losing it would not be a deal breaker. Just a heart breaker.
That's exactly why I bought a 2nd one plus a stash of replacement parts.
When I was looking for a mini drone I got a LOT of recommendations. I am SO glad I settled on the X5C-1
But I do have to admit that I did the antenna / range hack.
