Another newby here although not new to drones having owned a couple of Parrots before purchasing my new Phantom 3 Advanced a few days ago. I'm based in central NSW, Australia.
I’ve had several flights already (no accidents) and it’s made me realise that the Parrots were really only toys compared with the capabilities and precision of the Phantom 3.
To date, I’ve been cautious and haven’t flown more than 700-800 metres away from the home point but I’m sure that distance will increase over the coming days.
I’m very happy with the package I purchased which includes,
. Phantom 3 Advanced
. Two additional batteries (3 in total)
. Gimbal protector board
. DJI lens and gimbal lock
. backpack
I’m also looking at carbon fibre props but the reviews and write-ups suggest to me that they’re not really worthwhile.
Are there any other "must haves" that I need to consider?
I use my Phantom with an iPad Air 2 and all firmware is up to date.
I’ve read through the manual half a dozen times and browsed through these pages so I think I now have things pretty much under control but any hints or tips for a new Phantom flyer would always be appreciated.
