Is DJI Phantom 2 Worth It?

Hi, good evening. I am a photographer and I am really fond of taking pictures especially when I travel. Who would not? Well, I am traveling to Japan this Christmas break and I was checking if buying DJI Phantom 2 worth it of my cents. I need to get some feedback. I really need to take pictures for my travel blog and your inputs would greatly help me.

I saw this article and it says that it will only last for 25 minutes:

Do you think, would that suffice a 25 minutes trip at Kyoto taking shots of the old houses over there? Or do I need to buy a spare battery for it? Also, is the memory card expandable to a higher GB? I would love to buy this one if you say yes!

Hi,

I have the Phantom 2 and I don't think it can fly for 25 minutes, you will be cutting it real close. I think 20 minutes is safe fly time for this unit. I would suggest buying extra battery and also you can certainly upgrade the SD card too to something higher.
 
If you are new to the drone world and want something to practice, and have a low budget, you can consider P2. Then you can buy P3 after the price is lowered in a year or two.

Otherwise I would suggest buying P3A for the best value, or P4 if you're financially well-off.

The DJI Phantom is great for photography but if youre new to drone photography, Id suggest you practice a lot before going to Japan. My friends also a photographer and I believe his first drone was a DJI Phantom.
