    Just wondering when the drones are going on sale to the public?

    Same hear. And I buy their new stuff. If you mean the mini Mavic. Still nothing official beyond maybe one day.

    Hello all

    I had 2. I bought a second to get a smart controller. I just sold the M2P with standard controller. But I love the M2P. It is my favorite drone.

    While it is likely I may not win. IF I was too. I would want to make an informed decision. Besides the Tello. I have never bought an under 500 dollar drone. So other than YouTube reviews. And hearing some of the names. I have zero idea about those brands in the offing. Husban, MJX(Capt. Drone...

    Any particular faults? One would think at that price point they would be okay.

    Free Inspire 1*

    It is why I said relatively cheap. An I1 on the Inspire page today can be had for 400 US dollars. Just the bird. You can find them on Craigslist and other similar sites for 6 to 8 hundred USD. That is a full X3 kit. The M2P I fly most. Just the replacement bird is more. My Matrice I bought used...

    He did. And he offered to replace it in fact. I told him not to worry about it. Accidents happen. Whether his fault or the drone did not change it. It very well could have happened if I had been flying it. Anyone flying has an issue here and there. At least it was an I1v1. Relatively cheap to...

    Free Inspire 1*

    No- I did a cursory check. And my brother an hour in freezing water I wrote it off. Fortunately I am able to indulge the hobby. So just bought another one. I actually gave it too my brother. The next he loses, should it happen; will be his own.

    Free Inspire 1*

    There was nothing. It literally looked perfect right up until it went haywire. And my brother while no where near the air time I have, had plenty of hours under his belt. Other than low battery indicating. Which I set at 25%. He was bringing it in when it happened. No electrical lines near...

    best beginner drone

    Guess we could mention the Ryze Tello? It is almost impossible to screw up flying it. A good beginner platform. Though slow in comparison.

    Free Inspire 1*

    Not sure. The account was relayed to me. I was a hundred yards away flying my M2P. Documenting the completion of a new home my brother built on the lake. My brother said he was bringing it in. And approximately 10 foot from the dock it darted toward him and just dropped. He pushed up on the...

    A Walkera

    So what what would be a good one? Something like a runner or scout would be best? Never owned one before.

    Free Inspire 1*

    Sort of, this pic is from just before it went into the drink. It is in Lake Blalock in South Carolina. Free if you want to go swimming to find it. First uav I ever lost. And I was not even flying her.
