Picked up a Contixo F22 last week and already fell in love with it. Problem is I already have the itch to get a DJI Mavic Air 2 now :vs_laugh: Any other drone users/owners here on the boards. Looking for advice on what's the best for city use. I'm afraid to fly my F22 farther than a few hundred feet. I am aware of the license I would need if the drone weighs more than 250 grams. Thanks.
I'm looking at spending no more than a grand. The phantom 3 runs around 600 but has bad reviews. The phantom 4 runs well above my budget. I really need to find cheaper hobbies.
Unless you are wanting to build something yourself then I think the Mavic is probably the best route. I am not personally a fan of DJI personally but they do make a great and reliable product.
I caved and got a Mavic Air 2. Then found out my Samsung J7 isn't compatible with the DJI Fly app so I had to get a used S7 too. Turning out to be another expensive hobby. Oh ya, a 128gb sandisk pro card to shoot 4k videos.
Went flying earlier today with my Dad and one of his new drones. I almost lost a finger today. His drone wouldn't stop turning the blades when it landed so I tried a hand catch and it didn't go so well. Them blades are pretty sharp when turning at probably 5000rpm. No I won't post a picture :surprise:
And...He got is stuck in a covered patio at the park which I'm still waiting for him to send me a picture of. I still can't believe where it got stuck and that nothing broke on his drone either. It would definately make a Fail YouTube video though :vs_laugh:
They have mini drones that fly over 100 mph and you can fly with goggles in FPV mode. They actually have drone races on YouTube now too. It's pretty insane how fast some of them go now.
Yes, I am here and I am a drone owner. It is the best device ever that I bought this year. I dreamt a lot of time about this purchase but I couldn't choose the one model. There are an abundance of drones on the market now. I read a lot of articles and reviews before I bought my drone. In the end the article from this platform https://buyersimpact.co.uk/ helped me the most. I chose DJI Mavic Air Drone Fly More Combo and it is literally the best drone ever. It is one of the best drones available on the market if you want a good quality and the availability. It is easy to use and it takes great photos.
New to the forums and relatively new to drones but I'm hooked. There are two in my stash right now, I have a Mavic Air 2 which pretty much flies itself and I recently got the DJI FPV kit. It also flies itself but the sport mode is really fun and it is what I will use to learn Acro flying to see if I want to go further.
FPV is definitely the experience I'm looking for but the building of them and lipo battery usage is not something I'm into.
