DJI is doing a sale on DJI Phantom 3 Drone's.
They have also reduced the prices of the Professional and Advanced models http://store.dji.com/compare-phantom-3
This is the lowest I have seen these advertised. I got one just before xmas with the ebay deal and cashback rewards for ~$940 and they are a really amazing piece of kit.
I've flow my Phantom 2 Vision+ with and without Prop guards, and I have noticed no noticeable difference. Except on a fast descent it is more stable with guards. Without prop guards I found it oscillated left and right a bit on decent.
I purchased this on Thursday with this deal (with prop guards) and it arrived this morning (4 days) from China. Currently charging the battery. will have my first flight in about 20 mins.
