burgerking Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Have been thinking about buying myself a drone. Not the cheap ones sold in shopping centres, does anyone on the forum fly a drone as a hobby, and have any information, on what they consider to be a good drone, and where to buy in Bangkok, I really don't want to buy online as there will be customs duties, and don't want to be put at the mercy of the customs officers having to pay a large fee for it to be released to me. The research I have done I am leaning towards the Phantom 4. Just trying to find a shop in Bangkok that sells them. Any information to set me in the right direction would be great. Thanks in advance.

kannot Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Phantoms have issues with cracking INCLUDING the new one.........google phantom 4 cracking I have 2 parrot bebop2 drones, they arent the best camera but its reasonable, good to learn with, fast , small compared the phantoms and much tougher. Battery life 25 minutes In the Uk of e bay you can pick one up for about £320-50 now, you can use any tablet or smart phone to fly but range is limited with that to "how good your device is" Ive used an 8 inch samsung tablet and can get about 400-600 metres For the price its ok DJI now also make the MAVIC which is very good, smaller and can fit ina pocket Edited November 28, 2016 by kannot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Phantom 3 Standard is a good starter drone for someone new to the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmule Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Be careful though. I'm not quite sure but I think there are some regulations for flying a drone with camera/cameras attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 As far as I'm aware for Thailand, plans were announced that all hobby drones were to require a licence and legislation was to be brought in, but then it went quiet and nothing more was heard since.
