    Hi guys im 16 and working up to my dream job which is a producer / director. As a result of this i am making a Star Wars fan film for the 2017 competition. (dont worry this does get drone related)

    After talking to DJI they recommended me the DJI Phantom 3 standard edition because it is cheap but films in a beautiful 2.7k quality. But sadly it is still expensive. Does anyone know of any other quality quad copters like the phantom with the same quality camera for cheaper.

    the drone will be used for my schools Film and Fan club as well as at our local town club.

    Since this will be a donated quad copter we are trying to to keep it at a very little budget.

    You cannot get the same features and quality in anything less expensive.....BUT,
    sometimes you can find a deal on the Phantom 3 Standard.

    As an example, here is a refurb in DJI online store for $419 including shipping
    http://click.dji.com/1yk3KUe9_M68DTN6?pm=custom

    Those refurbs are as good (maybe better!) than new - usually never flown, just opened box. They have full warranty.

    But to answer your question - you will not find anything out there that does the job for less.

    Good Luck with your project!

    cookieelectronics via ebay is selling new P3s for 399. This weekend may bring some great sales for grads and dads. I usually do some power shopping for tech this weekend.

    Check out the Blade Chroma CGO2 1080P quad. On Amazon, the price was $599.00. The price may now be lower. Add an additional Venom 7100 mAh battery for about $108.00 from Amazon. Extra props are $16.99..

    I have been flying a Blade Chroma CGO2 1080P since March 2016. The camera is 16mp. Look on youtube at my two videos. The first is entitled Big Walk Field On South Fork Road 6 13 2016 and the other one is entitled Ogeechee River Swamp Norfolk Souhern Rail Line 6 2016.

    Why do you always double post? The first always being just a quote?

    Is this your vid?



    Specs be damned it just doesn't look very good, and the gimbal is having a hard time maintaining a level horizon, especially at the beginning.

    Here's an older $100 SJCAM with a Walkera $80 2D gimbal.
