One update that article should make: Buy the Mavic Pro rather than a Phantom 3. They can be had for under $1000, their batteries are cheaper, and they fold up to about 25% of the size of the phantom models. Good cameras, flies for 25+ minutes, controller is also much smaller than phantom models.<p>I never leave home without it now.<p>There's arguments to be made for getting the Phantom 4 Advanced/Pro rather than the Mavic, but those arguments revolve around professional photography/videography mostly. The Mavic, for most folks, is the right call.
