Thank you for the email dated 28th December 2018.


Whilst I do appreciate your frustration on the matter, we would not be able to comment for other orders for the same item that either have or haven't been fulfilled.


If the store had the item in stock then the purchase would have been made from there, unfortunately as we were not able to fulfil your order due to the stock at our warehouse.

I hear Curry’s have bridges discounted, they seem cheap, possibly as misprice, get in there before they notice.

Maybe 2019 is the year to say " if you've nothing positive to contribute, say nothing"
No need to kick someone when their down. Also no need to add insult to injury by thanking a needless comment.

Happy New year to all in bargain alerts.

Tell me how

I see that the Anafi SE is available for €700 in Harvey Norman. The standard edition is €549 there so for an extra €150 you're getting a case and 2 extra batteries and 2 months membership to Adobe software (unknown value).

I am flip/flopping quite a bit on pulling the trigger or not on this. Love the idea of it but also concerned that it might be a toy for 2 half days and then sit on a shelf.

Anyone have any opinion on the practicalities of having a drone? How often do you use it? Is it worth it?

I was in your position for some time and eventually got one over the summer. I had originally planned on a DJI spark, but felt the return for €700 at the time wasn't worth it, as some DJI models have built in restrictions that really shorten how far you can go with it.

In the end I went with another Parrot drone called the Disco, which is a fixed wing drone and very different from the standard quadcopter drones. I had originally seen the drone as a good tool for taking pictures, but as I got used to it, the actual fun of flying was what has kept me coming back to it. I was down at my local beech a few days ago for a quick blast and it was great craic. I got a good deal on Amazon warehouse for £300, so it has been a very economical investment for the enjoyment it gives.

In terms of it being something that you might use a few times and then sit on the shelf, is probably something you can only answer, but they can always be sold on. If I was looking for another quad drone, I would also give serious consideration to the Anafi.

Hi
In two minds to get a drone or not, big into photography and a drone seems to a good investment for me and I already see a number of other local photographers using them the only thing is ease of use and I certainly don’t want to be investing up to a grand and losing it.
Great advice of what models and prices here.
Are they easy to operate ? And what features should I be looking for to make using it a bit more simpler?

Are second hand drones worth a punt?

I am looking at a used phantom 3 on ebay. It seems to have been well cared for, original packaging, but without knowing the amount off hours the drone has clocked up is it best to steer clear?

Cheapest phantom 3 I can find online is coming in over 600euro.

Nothing wrong with a second hand drone, but I'd want to see it and test in person first. I would not go with a Phantom 3 however, it was premium at release, so second hand prices now are close to what you would pay for a new Anafi.

There are several 3’s. The only one I think available new is the SE model - which is very capable.
The original 3S hovever is a bit old now unless you get a very good deal on it i hold out for a more recent one or other drone - the return to home and obsticle avoidance has improved since the 3s.

Already said the p3se was 400euro a year ago. If you want to buy an old drone for 200 more than it's worth, do it!

In fact, I saw a brand new Anafi sell on ebay a few days ago for £390!

I stay away from any second hand thing that has a battery.

This is a thread about a portable flying 4k camera, doesn't sound like there's a recession in anybody's house

Is a £150 saving enough to justify EBay? Possibly no warranty and effectively buying unseen.

JJayoo

The Phantom 3 I was looking at comes with 3 batteries, but this means that the drone has seen a lot of flying hours.

I have been given the task of buying a drone for approx 500euro and it's doing my tits in.

Just wondering if anyone has ever dealt with this company before

Parrot Anafi Drone 4K + Skycontroller 3
For 498, considerably cheaper than any other site I can find.

A quick snoop on Facebook says it all (with help from the built in translation), stay well away.

Got mine for £438.

Ended up getting it from Currys for 600.

Have flown it a few times but the weather has been pretty piss poor. I need to figure out how to record directly to my phone so I can send the videos using WhatsApp.

If the weather is half decent I might post a video at the weekend

Always found early morning best time for flying this time of year. Less/ no wind

Tell me how

I went ahead and purchased the Anafi for myself.

Love it so far, it is my first drone so I do not have a comparison but like most things about it.

One thing I have been a bit wary of is the range of the wifi. It seems to indicate a low or weak signal quite quickly. This happened last week and again today when I was only 150M or so away. Makes me nervous from exploring further afield, particularly today as it was over water for a period.
