My Quad Drone

[SCIENCE FLYER]

Still you need a pilot's permit to fly it, because of the issues the faa has about them

 

[RENOV8R]

I don't. I'm in Canada and the only limitations I have is staying outside the no-fly zone areas

Than your lucky
How much you paid for dji?

 

[RENOV8R]

Roughly 600 dollars which is the flymore package with controller, charging station and extra battery. Also some accessories such as landing gear, gimbal protector, range extenders and OTG cable

That's nice looking Drone
Is the size of large frog mine is the size of a large frog

Tell me does it look at like it has eyes on it
Mine 2 red led light that looks like eyes

 

[RENOV8R]

Yes, it's roughly the same size as your VISUO, but much heavier as it has various sensors and GPS, larger battery. So yes, the same size as a Canadian Bullfrog

 

[SCIENCE FLYER]

True mine here is close to the size of young Sonoran toad can't get over 2 red led lights up front at night it looks wicked as if it was peering out

I would say that 400 dollars for one of the most advanced quadcopters on the planet is quite affordable

What's all this about having to get licences and pilot training. If you're a hobbyist and not earning money from flying aren't you allowed to fly without having to sit an exam?

Sorry Science Flyer, you appear to have to some strange hangup on quality and people who can actually afford a better quad. I've had dozens and dozens of quads pass through my workshop and I've seen a lot of disgusting workmanship and some atrocious soldering in cheap Chinese quads. Take the Aosenma 035. They literally jammed a GPS unit into the controller so that it could do Follow Me etc. The controller was never designed to have a GPS unit in it, but that didn't stop the butchers from making it a feature.

How about the gimbal used in the same quad. To save money they used servos to drive it, really cheap and nasty servos. I've never heard of anyyone saying how great they are, or even that they're mediocre. There are exceptions of course and from what I've seen the Bugs quads and Hubsans are better quality.

I have to wonder which car you drive and if you use the same logic with everything you purchase. Cheaper isn't always better or a better investment, in fact it rarely is.

Did you edit the crash out of your Amazing video? Tell me, have you actually watched any of the videos made by DJI flyers? Did you happen to notice any differences in the video quality? There are thousands upon thousands of them available on the Net. You really should do yourself a favor and watch a few. It'll give you a better understanding of why so many people fly DJI.

By the way, you really should keep a closer watch on where your quad is flying. It crashed way off to the right and somewhat behind you. Maybe a spotter would be handy.

There's no problem with saving money if you aren't sure you want to get into a thing but once you've decided you really have more than a passing interest it's worth buying nice or buying twice (as we often hear on the electric skate forum as well)
