    Good option for personal social media clips and to test whether you want to buy a DJI drone, but I would keep it well away from humans at that price point.

      I'd get one to check out the ceiling / crawl space and roof

      • +1

        Never thought of flying a drone inside the ceiling that's a great idea

        • +2

          Until you hit a rafter & have to go get it…
          Guess you’d get good at flying quickly though

      • I'm getting it to check the roofing and hopefully pester away pigeons that have set up on top of the gutter pipe.

        Good for check8ng the gutters.

        • +1

          I didnt even think about all these things haha.. I have a box gutter in the middle of my roof and this is a great use case.. cheers

    this or the mavic 4 pro?

    • +2

      personally i prefer DJI Matrice 350 RTK Single H30T Payload Kit SP Plus Combo.

      • Cheers ended up with the matrice 4td with dji dock 3.

        • you wont regret it is so good i just bought 2 more, as a spare and a backup of the spare

      • is that the one with a battery and battery station? i really cant decide on which to pick

  • wtf now i wondering why i bought dji mini 2 second hand for $250 instead of this

  • Always wanted to give one of these bad boys a try. Cheers!

    • Can tou please write your thoughts when you get it? Thanks 🙏🙏

  • product name checks out

  • Is each battery 12min worth for a total of 24min or 24mim each?

    If I had this in a kayak would it he able to land it in my hand if current took me to a different position then where I started?

      As per the review video, flight time was 11:15 minutes before needing a battery swap.. also, this will not be suitable for your kayaking needs, you will need something more stronger, with stronger air resistance and a return home function.. try DJI Mini 2 which is currently selling for about $460.

  • I have a $15 cashback offer from CommBank for $100 spend on Amazon.

    Is this a good deal? Obviously I don't expect anything special at this price, but I also don't want to throw money away.

    • In my opinion, yes it is good for the price.. However, highly recommend you look at the review video and see if it will be of use to you. I giften one to a 13teen year old couple of weeks ago and they seem to love it for what is can do.. it is just a hitech toy for them.

      Also - it is sold by Amazon, so you get 30 days to return it if you dont like it ;)

  • Voice & Gesture Control
    hahaah

  • This is tempting.
    Anyone purchased one of the higher specked Holy Stone models?

    • I have the HS360S

      • Any good?

        • The drone and controller are great for the price. I’m not too happy with the picture quality of the camera but I need to spend more time playing around with settings.

          I just bought the larger spare battery from Aliexpress so I’ll see how that goes. The flight time is fine with the standard battery but it does have a very aggressive battery management system that decreases the charge to 75% if the battery hasn’t been used in 3 days. So I need to remember to bump charge them before each use.

          I think for $250-$300 it’s almost unbeatable. But if it’s not on sale there are likely better alternatives.

          • @Broos: What range does it have? It is current for $239 on Amazon.. looks like it may have a 3 Km range? Compared with DJI mini, that is about $460 and has a 10km range.

            • +1

              @Megatron: I haven’t exceeded around 1.5km yet. That’s when I noticed the drone controls still work but the video transmission becomes quite laggy.

    • I would like to know too..
