Hi All,

I am a newbie, just signed up today to ask for some advice, been thinking about buying a drone for the last few weeks, been on google look at sites and review and browsing youtube for video on the drones I have narrow it down to.

I really like the idea of getting out with the missus and family to view some places/walks and taking the drone along with me and stopping say at a top of a hill climb and send the drone up to get some video of a day out.

I have about £150ish to spend and I have narrow it down to the following drones I like the reviews I have read, but is it worth me spending £80 to £150 on these 2mp to 720hd drones just to start me off or would I be upgrading in now time at all?

starting range
JXD 510
Hubsan X4 H107D

or is it worth blowing the budget and putting more toward it and get a Hubsan H501S ?

your help and advice would be great, any input you can give me would be great?

many thanks
Craig
 
Welcome Craigwack,

You got the right idea, I started with a pancake drone otherwise known as WLtoys V323,
https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&k...qmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_7x7v5wj8kq_e

it has a small 2G camera, get used to flying one, the more inexpensive quads are harder to fly but hone your hand eye co-ordination (you will crash many times & don't want to break a big dollar quad )
then step up to something like the Kinco W88 Explorer Quad w WiFi, it has more weight and power with a 2 Mega Pixel Camera
( around $130 US ) but is aerodynamically designed like the upper end DJI Phantoms, but is still fly by the seat of your pants fun, remember you will need at least 8 extra batteries to get around an hour fly time as the only get 6-10 minutes (depending on the conditions).
Then once you have considerable flight time under you belt comes the BOAT factor ( Bust out another Thousand !) and look at the upper end consumer drones like the DJI's, Yuneek, Parrot, ect...
 
So my opinion on the Wingsland is that it appears to be very good quality and would be a nice addition if you already had a few quads and wanted a little selfie drone that took good quality video. But if you are just getting into flying, not recommended as it is just controlled by an I-phone so you aren't going to get any experience of actually learning how to fly and learning the coordination of using a transmitter
 
I just started out with a WLtoys V686G just about a month ago and I'm super happy I went cheap first to learn how to fly a multirotor.
