I found a few used Phantom 4 Pros in seemingly good condition for under $1000. I used to have a Phantom 2 Vision, DJI Spark, and a Mavic Pro but slowly got rid of them as I got into FPV drones. Now I’ve been out of the camera drone scene for a bit and need some advice.I’ve wanted to start doing drone photography, cinematography, aerial mapping and inspections as a side business, but don’t have the money to drop on a new Phantom or Mavic 2 Pro. Would a used Phantom 4 Pro for around $800-1000 be a good deal or should I save up for a few more months and buy new?My biggest concerns with the used drone P4P is with the release of the P5 in January batteries and support for the P4 will quickly go away. My other concern is that the warranty will likely be expired and if the drone has been crashed or mistreated, replacing components will become a real money pit.Have anyone of you bought a used drone? If so was it a good or bad experience? Any advice for buying a used drone in terms or red flags or things to look for / ask?TLDR: Is a used P4P for under $1000 a good deal or too risky for an entry level professional photo and video drone?Thanks in advance for any advice! via /r/drones https://ift.tt/359GsyK
