I was very interested in the article for the Horizon Hobby Blade 350QX3 as I was comparing it to my DJI Vision 2. I am thinking about getting a new Quadcopter as I am having a hard time getting a simple repair made to my camera. A power cord has been on order for the gimble for two weeks now and the hobby shop in Dayton Ohio says they still don't have it in. I would like something I can get a repair completed on without wasting a whole summer.
Thanks for the article.
