Mickeydredd Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I bought a DJI Phantom 4 a few years back, fantastic quality videos and photos from it. Did as others on here say they would, left it in the loft after moving house and the batteries are now knackered!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Well, I went ahead and bought one from Quadspy. With a spare battery, it cost me around £54. I had to wait a few weeks for delivery but it arrived yesterday. At first, I thought it wasn't very good, mainly because I didn't pay too much attention to the manual. Now, I've managed to link my mobile phone to it. I've only 'flown' it a few feet in my lounge, and need to be outdoors in a field/beach to try it out properly. I think it's going to be okay, and once I learn to use it properly, may well invest in a more expensive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't need a license because it's very light in weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be registered as it has a camera, even under 250g. If you can claim it's a "toy" then you're all good! You'll also need to do the free theory test 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
