Hi Folks. My wife and daughter bought me a cheap drone for Christmas and I was surprised at how easy it is to fly. My birthday is coming up and because I am getting so much use out of this one, she is looking at getting me another one. Have been looking around and found this one on aliexpress.

Hi Folks.
My wife and daughter bought me a cheap drone for Christmas and I was surprised at how easy it is to fly. My birthday is coming up and because I am getting so much use out of this one, she is looking at getting me another one. Have been looking around and found this one on aliexpress.

Am trying to stick 130€ budget and was very impressed with this one as it has three batteries and the one for 128€ also comes with a 4k WiFi action cam.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

The Wifi Range on it is only 30meters - wouldnt be worth upgrading to it.

Depends on what you want it for though - for photos - DJI are the best - Phantom 3 Standard or better. Proper HD video and good camera and a very decent range.

- but if photo quality and range are not important - this one at half the price gets good reviews

Hey,

Just wondering did you plug the trigger on this?
If so, how are you finding it?

Thinking of getting it myself.

Regards.
