Hi,
I am looking at buying a DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone but there are so many for sale at various prices.  I have seen them online for varying prices from £800 to  £1200.  Does anyone know if there is a difference between the cheaper models and the more expensive models.  I believe the cheaper models are imported from Asia, is there any difference? Also some refer to 2015 model and 2016 model.  Also there is a Phantom 4 professional coming out, does anyone know when this is due to be released

Also I want to make sure it comes with everything I need i.e. Controller, battery etc.

Can anyone please give me some advice as this is the first drone I have bought.

HELP!!!

Many thanks

New price is $999 USD. DJI is based in China. All the other concerns you have are also available on this forum and DJI's website.

When the vendor says it is the Phantom 3 Professional only, that comes with the necessary equipment to fly the drone. IE: 1 Battery, 1 Controller, 1 16GB Memory card... etc. Usually options for extra battery and case are found later.

If you go here Compare - Phantom 3 you will see what is included in the "Phantom 3 ONLY" box.

I'm not sure if posting outside sources is authorized... but you can find it on Amazon.

That doesn't take you to the Phantom 3 Pro, the one for $999 says this is not a phantom 3 professional.

Sorry, miscommunication I guess. In my original post I stated it was $999 USD.
