Hi all, new member, joined today in the hope of firstly getting some advice and secondly, in time contributing to the community!
I am looking to buy my 1st drone but due to budget, will be looking second hand. My primary interest in having one is aerial photography (with some panos / 360). Not all that interested in video but realise that may change so dont want to rule it out. With my budget of approx £220, I have been looking at the Mini 2 / Mini 4k (I’ve been told they are the same but hopefully you experts can advise?) or for a bit less, the mini 2 SE. Can you perhaps give me some guidance based on my use case?
I can’t speak for the Mini 2 or 4K as I’ve not owned either. However, if I were choosing between the two I’d be mindful of the fact that DJI don’t sell the Mini 2 anymore while they do still sell the 4K. If you encounter any problems and need support/parts that could be important.
For general second-hand drone advice, I’ll echo Patrick’s advice to make sure the drone is unbound. Not always possible if buying online, but a good check over for any possible damage and a test flight can’t go amiss.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for a deal with a couple of extra batteries. You might think you’ll be fine with one, but you’ll quickly realise you need more.
Why not pop over and
