I don't think they make a west coaster proof one yet, let alone a fliable one by a hokitikarite....

However, don't penny pince because you do get what you pay for. The phantom should be your entry point.


It's a gyro copter vers r22 vers 500 vers Apache type equation - the phantom is not a 22 but it's not a 500....

Am I the only one sitting here thinking that R93 drives the real deal for a living, so should be able to master a drone pop

These new drones are quite a different user experience to the old RC choppers eh, they use to be bloody hard to control and newbies crashed and destroyed them in seconds of getting off the ground.

The likes of the DJI Mavic and most of DJI and other more expensive drones have sensors and electronic wizardry for Africa.

Even flying in strong wind the electronics work their magic and stablilise everything. Bloody incredible how much techo stuff is in a little package.

Heres a little video i made of my mate flying his new Mavic that he'd had for only a few hours.

I think it will be a totally different experience flying remotely.
Flying a real machine is done by using your hands and feet plus all your available senses especially your ass.

I will be a learning experience for sure but I see it being a very useful tool for a lot of things.

@R93 Currently learning on one of these:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Syma...634742522.html

Cheap and fun. You can buy all the parts cheap. Destruction manual is in chinglish so pretty crap but no problem.
@Beaker is lucky it's range is restricted to 8 min flying cant quite reach his house.

Yup hes been droning on for years.

How much other kit do you need for a drone? Haven't been up with the play. (probably wrong) but early ones would only run on Apple or Android....

Would be a nice toy though

Forget drones for pig hunting. This looks more useful:



Specifications:

Blighter® | B202 Mk 2 - Man-portable Ground Surveillance Radar from Blighter Surveillance Systems

As GWH says, just buy a Mavic and a spare battery, job done.

Done. With a few other extras as well.
Someone told me you can get blades that are a bit quieter as well but need to research that a bit more.

I spose not. Good advice on here helped.

Looking forward to see if it can follow me and the dog when doing some upland bird hunting this winter.

Might save time looking thru the spotting scope a bit as well
