This quadcopter is so easy to fly you can really focus on the aerial videoography. I have been able to capture some wonderful video and photos so far! I look forward to many more flights withi my phantom. There are lots of additional and aftermarket parts available which is great.

I shopped these drones for awhile and ended up choosing the DJI Phantom Advanced. Among the competition, DJI appears the most prolific, and arguably has the most mature app integration. There's even an SDK available for you to toy with making your own applications for it, if you're into that sort of thing. My father and I fly this drone quite a bit. Be careful! Its a time consuming and expensive hobby, but you'll likely love every minute of it; we do! My father in particular is blown away by the quality of the camera you get on these, and he works for a Camera manufacturer. So far I've flown a bit over a quarter-mile away at around 400ft. Its easy to do as you can exceed 40mph when you have a tail wind and you can expect 20 minutes of flight on each battery. All in all its so simple to use and the video and photo quality is better than expected. I didnt opt for the Professional version at the time, as actually being able to view the 4K videos in native resolution, wasn't very likely, especially if you share them on something like Facebook. However, I am jealous that the Pro version charges more quickly. Ah well, I have 2 batteries now and plan to get the quick charging 4 battery dock in the future.
