I did a quick search but this is more of an opinion thread than anything...
My first quad is a Mavic and I’ve also got a Spark that was my 2nd. I have a chance to buy a like new, hardly flown, still in box, etc. Phantom 1 for $200 shipped to my door. It looks super clean and I’m inclined to trust the seller (for an extra $50 he’ll throw in brand new hardware to add POV (screen, cctv cam, antennas, mounts, etc.)).
My consideration for this P1 is because I want to learn flying in atti mode. My searches here have led me to believe that the Phantom and Mavic have totally different “feels” while flying in atti but if I was going to spend around $100 for a cheap toy drone to learn with, I’m thinking an extra hundred bucks for a newish P1 makes a lot of sense. I don’t care about anything other than learning atti flight with this P1 so everything else would be irrelevant (photos, video, etc.).
Would this P1 be a good idea for my intended purpose? Should I get the POV hardware also?
I’d like some opinions on this so any and all are welcome. Thanks!
