I am thinking about purchasing a drone. I really don’t like that name but oh well. Right now I am in the research stage. My aim will be video and still pictures which means I need stability. With that in mind I have had a few cheap (Sub 30 dollars) and small copters that I was wholly unsuccessful flying. The issue I had was stability. No amount of adjusting allowed them to even hoover. They would lift off and immediately fly into a wall without me even touching the controller. Adjustments never seemed to do anything. In my research it is clear that the higher the price spent, the more stable and flyable the copter is. Am I right?
At this point, if the wife and wallet agree, the DJI Phantom 3 Standard is what I am aiming for. Aside from that one question already asked, I would like to know if there are folks who own and fly one of these. If so, can you address the two concerns below that have popped up in my reading:
1- Fly off
a. I read a few reviews and ratings that said their copter launched and flew away no matter what it was programmed to do and did not respond to the controller. Is this common?
2- Customer service
a. There was a couple mentions of poor customer service and difficulty getting DJI to honor their warranty.
