Hi all. I'm looking for the best place to buy a DJI camera drone (with camera) in Melbourne, or if anyone has any other recommendations I'd love to hear them.
Cheers.

Look into the Autel X-Star Premium. I bought two off amazon, had them shipped via reship to oz. Not cheap shipping but i prefer this drone for a number of reasons over the dji.
Care to explain those reasons? I have a Phantom 3, just interested in getting other people's opinions.
I'm a fanboy of nothing. Literally. Thought I should make that clear.
So far:
It hasn't landed yonks away.
Seems to feel more solid.
Decent case included.
Batteries bit cheaper.
The colour makes it stand out and easier to see.
Remote is nice, like the black, response is good, and i like the buttons and features.
It has a proximity sensor for indoor.
FPV at long-range was no problem as quoted in the specs.
Happy with customer service too.All a matter of opinion of course and personal needs or requirements. For me this was a nice option. 899USD from Amazon. A freight service like reship will forward on it was pricey though, there are other resellers like Abe's in the usa, or b&h that would do cheaper postage.
Its nice to see other options coming onto the market.
Of course, they don't have distribution here yet. I'm sure it will come in time.
Good luck and have fun flying.
Thanks for the input. Does X-star have active tracking & collision avoidance? I have never flown anything before and I thought maybe the automatic features would reduce crash/collision likelihood. Do you have a view on that?
Camzilla or Rise Above Australia. Both do online.
