[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 2989694, member: 26476"] I recently acquired a Phantom 3, 4K that does everything you are wanting. I have flown it as high as a couple thousand feet, and out about a half mile, but hear tell 3/4 of a mile is still within range. I just haven't pushed it that far as I do not want to lose it in a wooded area. I might take it out on a freshly cut wheat field here in a few weeks so that if it loses signal and goes down, I'll be able to locate it. Nice thing about the Phantoms is that if you lose signal, lose battery, or just don't want to try landing it yourself, it will land safely on its own. I had never owned or even flown a drone before, but flying this one is simple. With the carbon props, it is very stable in the air and will hold steady in one position, even in moderate wind. I haven't got all of the camera capabilities figured out yet, but have used it enough to be able to get overhead/aerial views. I plan on using it to scout some new hunting properties soon. The batteries have about a 23 min charge, which sounds like a lot until you fly it a few times and run out of flight time. I plan on getting a couple extra batteries soon. [/QUOTE]
