Grainy night pic but it works.
My wife and I were at a local Golf Tournament last night and like at most of these events that sell raffle tickets I'll buy a few. Then there was a silent auction going on as well, I then noticed a Phantom 3 Professional that noone had big on yet. $1,000 starting bid was a little up there but I'm thinking if noone else makes a bid I may put my name down since these things are around $1250ish on Amazon + tax so I could save about $300 and I've really had an itch for one since the 4k model came out.
I waited until the last minute when they were coming around and taking the silent auction bid sheets and jotted my name down and told my wife..... "Hey you look good tonight, I just spent a thousand bucks, don't hurt me."
I had almost completely forgotten about the raffle ticket/door prizes, 2-3 minutes later a friend of mine says you may want to go check your tickets and see if you won anything. So I walk over and then see a Phantom 3 Standard, I kind of laugh to myself and think yeah right. So I go check the winning ticket and sure enough, I won it as well off of a $4 raffle ticket.
So, long story long. The standard is still in it's box, may get sold but the Professional is quite fun to fly and the photos and video it takes is pretty damn good.

Topping it off I notice that the controller will perfectly hold a full sized iPad Air for the monitor.

This is amazing! I have been itching to get one and it goes back to why the hell do I need one!?! Why the hell not is the answer!! Congrats.
