Poll: ** DRONES: WHO HAS ONE, WHO WANTS ONE? **

[Gibbo]

Hi there


Drones are becoming the latest hype, I am seeing more and more of them, friends buying etc. and our sister company www.caseking.de are actually selling 100's of them.

So my question is who here has a Drone? Who is considering buying a Drone and if so which ones have you being looking at? If linking to drones please link to them only on manufacturer sites and not other webshops.

I find the DJI seem to be rather amazing as are very high quality with incredible cameras and software, check them out:

What do you guys think of the DJI drones?

Totally not of interest to me.

 

[Jacksonn]

I really don't understand this hype.. And there just so expensive.

 

[Mucky_Pup]

Until I can get a drone with hellfire missiles I'm not interested

I'll be waiting for the Lilly Cam.

I think drones are fascinating, but if I were to get one, I'd buy the parts individually from Hong Kong and assemble it myself, not buy a pre-built one

 

[Skidder]

I have radio control helis and planes and inevitably at some point I will try a drone.

As an avid R/C vehicle enthusiast I've been considering a drone/quad/hexcoptor for a while. Those DJI look pretty well engineered, but I'd much rather a kit that I have to build for myself.

DJI are amazing drones and i think account for 60% of all drones sold for good reason.

Incredbily easy to fly.

Stunning camera quality on them for the size.

I bought my spare batteries from caseking i think, great conversion rate atm.

I read somewhere there are two types of DJI drone owners

People who have a drone which can take pictures and people who have a top end camera which can fly.

Personally id agree with that sentiment.

I must admit i am loving the new perspective my drone is giving me about the area i live in.

Had 28 flights so far and only owned it for 2 weeks.

Some friends of mine have some RC planes, which look pretty good fun with the stunts and tricks you can do. These drones look boring as **** though - I don't get what the popularity is all about.

 

[Skidder]

I'll be waiting for the Lilly Cam.

they look great but do they have removable batteries? I would love one for snowboarding but 20 mins wouldn't really cut it

The beauty of the DJI is that everything just works out of the box and FPV is built in.

You could build your own but difficult to get something with the same features as the DJI one for any less money plus then you might have compatibility issues etc.

P3P here and love it !!

For the love of God, stop calling them drones...

My next door neighbour sunbathing nude can be seen from my window, until she moves or the windows get bricked up I have no need of a drone.

 

[Glaucus]

I want one, but extremely portable with a good camera. Small enough to fit in a hiking back with normal hiking stuff. And uses phone as fpv.

 

[Cosimo]

I have been tempted but resistance is strong as I can't justify one of these pro camera ones.

I've got the DJI Inspire 1 with an extra controller for mate to do all the photography.

Lovely bit of kit which takes stunningly easy and beautiful films and stills, however, shame it's sat in my wardrobe for over a month just never seem to find any time to use it....

here was the first vid i took, however since found out i was rather naughty flying where I did so have kerbed my evil lawbreaking ways

 

[Amp34]

I'll be waiting for the Lilly Cam.

Shame they won't be legal in many countries (including the UK).

I'm looking at a Phantom at the moment for photography/videography work.

It comes out at night for all the bedroom shots.
