    Good practice drone?

    The Upair one was not on that list.. AND... almost starting to lean away from a drone at all, with all the horror stories I've been reading about DJI units falling from the sky and all... just not sure anymore.

    CCQ for Drones...............

    Pretty sure 00 buck would do as good or better.

    Learn in a DJI Spark??

    I'd lose half my range if I went with the P3 which is marginal to begin with... might step up to the Mavic maybe, but it seems pretty complicated to use... And I freaking hate that my iPhone updates all the time, then I have to relearn... I just want to fly.

    Learn in a DJI Spark??

    Well if you check the specs, with the controller the range on the Spark is 1.2 miles, hence my looking at that one. The P3 has 1000m range, the Spark with controller has 1.2 miles which is 1931 meters. almost double the range.

    Learn in a DJI Spark??

    So I've been looking, researching this drone thing. First I was thinking Mavic , mainly for its range. I have 100 acres I live on which is about 3/4 mile from end to end, open, trees , ponds, and a creek. Main reason for the drone is surveillance type stuff on my property, don't think I'll take...

    Good practice drone?

    You ask what is more important to me.... not sure on that answer. Maybe ease of use with a bit of range, I don't need professional quality video, just decent, with the ability to see what's going on out on my property. Seeing a bunch of stuff on the Spark just falling from the sky and I don't...

    Read this before you buy anything from DJI

    Now if I could figure out a decent cheap one with a camera to start with... (And headless or not headless??)

    Read this before you buy anything from DJI

    WOW, I've been really on the fence about buying either the Spark Fly More, Or the Mavic Pro for a little more $$. Just got off the DJI forums lots of talk about these two drones just falling from the sky, and getting no or almost no help from DJI!! Now I'm kinda on the fence about buying a drone...

    What to do, what to do?

    Any suggestions on a cheap starter to learn on? Seems like the DJI units are at the top of the heap right now, Started looking at the Mavic, and am now thinking Spark. I lose flight time and distance with the Spark, but I can get the Spark Fly more combo for $300 less than the Mavic alone.

    Good practice drone?

    Thanks, I'll go look at that website. And right now I'm leaning toward that DJI Spark, still reading reviews. The fly more combo is $699 and comes with a bunch of the extras I would want.

    Good practice drone?

    Well, kind of. I'd like a not so costly one to keep an eye on the place but not sure that's an option, range = $$$$$. And no, don't want a custom one , or to build one, just one to fly. Kind of leaning towards the DJI Spark right now, I give up a lot of range, but its also half the price and...

    Good practice drone?

    I see its headless, I've seen others advertised that way... what does headless mean?

    Good practice drone?

    Well I think I'm going to buy a good drone, but first I think I want to buy a decent practice drone. Any suggestions on a drone to learn on? Thanks..
