Looking at buying used though it would have to be bullet proof legit or in my area to buy used or off FB marketplace atm. More scammers than legitimate sellers lately. I don't want a crappy one and can't justify the price of a new one for what will effectively be a toy that could be crashed / lost in a second of stupidity.    

 

Makes sense.  I'd have bought 2nd hand if that had worked out logistically.  You're right.  It's a toy for me, too.

@impulse  Just take your time learning, in a wide open area, think footie pitch, and keep it close, 50 meters, although you realize, it's so small, 100+m and it's a dot in the sky.  If not black, or neon color, than really hard to see.

 

Just learn how 'not to crash', although with GPS, it really is very hard to crash.  It's a nice, different perspective of photo taking.  Whether pausing and taking a photo, or simply pulling a screenshot of your vid.

I see you mention difficult to crash with GPS....not really sure what you mean? How does GPS reduce crashes if for eg I accidentally fly into a tree or such?

 

Also asked before you might of missed it....these mini drones under 250 grams do you still need to register them in Thailand?

 

Going to check out the FImi drones. Do you think they are as easy to fly for a beginner as the DJI mini's?

 

Many thanks for all your help
