Hi everyone, new to drones and new here, great site and I have to say I’m learning a lot reading through the topics. Unfortunately I found this site after I had purchased my first drone, I had done some research on Google, Youtube etc and decided on a Holystone HS175.
Thanks to Google I’m now getting lots of “shop now for drones” adds and have just seen one that seems to have everything on it, gimbal camera, waterproof etc. It is fairly heavy at, according to the sales site, 3.5Lbs. I was stunned when I saw the price though at just under £100 with free delivery. Was wondering if there’s a catch what it is and, if it’s as good as the advertising says, why so cheap compared to some others.
Enjoying reading through the topics here, hopefully the wind and rain will ease off a bit and can get some flying done soon. Take care everyone.
Had a feeling to good to be true, loads of these adds (scams) about right now.
Thanks for the reply’s though, so far I’m happy with what I have was just curious pricewise. And thanks for the heads up about the link, didn’t think about that, sorry.
Run. Run as far as you can, and then keep running. It’s not professional, nor is it waterproof, and it’s certainly not 4K.
It’s the standard bait and switch routine. The drone pictured is the Potensic D58, not a great start. Then they go on to show a DJI Phantom 4, followed by a video of a DJI Phantom1, then another DJI Phantom4 getting splashed.
In reality you’ll receive, if you receive anything at all, it will probably be one of these.
It’s a scam that has been doing the rounds for a couple of years.
There is a scam being heavily promoted on Facebook ATM - leather jackets at very low prices - or even FREE! You just pay the $30 postage.
The catch? You are limited to only two items. Oh - and hidden in the terms and conditions is the compulsory membership of the buyers’ club at $150 per year
