I am new to this drone thing. Been waiting a while to purchase. mainly for viewing roofs for work, and some fun to. R/C and full scale flyer from many years ago.
So I got a nice bundle from B&H with a Mavic Pro. Just opened box a couple of hours ago, read all instructions, and discover a bad battery that was in drone. So brand new and already having issues. Bad omen in my book. So I can probably spend about $300 more and get the Platinum model. I figure it is newer, but not yet proven. Am I over reacting to an issue of it might be "old stock", or is it common for this stuff to happen. And if you were me, would you insist on getting a "newer" model of the drone. I don't have money to burn, it is just that sinking feeling when something expensive like this is faulty from the start.
Since there are seasoned veterans here, I would appreciate some educated opinions.
Thank You, Larry T.
