OK, having lurked for a little while it seems time to get posting.
Looking at a quadcopter for the following reasons:
1. To get started in the hobby
2. To connect a GoPro 3+ and take some aerial footage
3. In time use FPV equipment
Considerations:
1. Have a limited budget and don't want to go mad
2. Don't want to have expensive replacement parts costs
3. Don't want to put the GoPro to any unnecessary risk
4. Don't want to have to upgrade after a month of practice because it got boring
5. More than 10 mins flight time
6. Don't want a toy
Condsidering the options I have looked at the following:
1. DJI F450 built from a kit supplied complete (eventually fitting a GPS to the Naza Lite)
2. DJI Phantom (Again fitting a GPS module later)
3. TBS Discovery Clone Frame with DJI Motors (eventually fitting a GPS to the Naza Lite)
So given all the above what should I look at. Is it better to go for an out of the box solution like the Phantom or build the DJI/TBS and learn, is there any benefit in this?
Any opinions or advice are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks
