Drones.

Anyone here into drones? I'm new to the scene, been looking around. I don't need anything fancy, not looking to make a photo business or any of such out of it. How do you gentleman recommend a spark as a beginner drone?

I recently bought a Mavic Air off a guy at work. Never flown one before and took it to Costa Rica in Feb. It was so cool and I have been messing around on the weekends getting better with it. It's a fun hobby!
I debated on Spark as well but if I were you, pay a little extra for a much better drone for many reasons.

I ended up finding the mavic pro online, refurbished, for $850. This things included:

• DJI Mavic Pro Aircraft Refurbished* + Remote Controller + Wall Charger + One Battery + 6 Propellers
• 1 EXTRA Battery (2 Total Batteries)
• Case
• HandHeld Gimbal for DJI Mavic
• Landing Pad
• Propellers Guards
• Manual
• Cables for Android & Iphone devices

FREE ESSENTIAL KIT

• FREE Micro SD Card 32GB ($17.99)
• FREE Micro SD Card 16GB (Included from DJI on Select Models)
• FREE Lanyard ($8.99)
• FREE Micro SD Card to USB ($9.99)
• FREE Micro SD Card to SD Card ($9.99)
• FREE 30 Day Rotor-to-Rotor Crash Warranty

What do you think compared to the price you paid?

I see in your later post that you bought a Magic Pro, but to answer your first question, I’ve had a Spark for a couple years now. I’d say it’s got usefulness beyond just a beginner. It was my first (and currently only) drone, but I am enjoying it.

I haven't purchased yet, still debating.

Another Mavic Pro here.

Couldn't be happier, just wish it was a bit faster for follow me mode when riding the RZR at the dunes.

I personally am not a fan of refurbished products but that's just me.
The deal is for a Mavic pro not Mavic 2 pro so it is the older model.
All that other stuff is filler. I'd say keep shopping, not the greatest deal

I have a DJI Inspire 2 and a Mavic Pro Platinum. I use both of them for different venues, but wouldn't get anything else. They have been extremely reliable and easy to use.

Hey everyone:
FYI, I bought an Autel XSTAR premium in early 2018. Barely used it and now Autel discontinued the XSTAR and will not support or even provide batteries. I now have $900 worth of JUNK. Dump Autel. They said instead of the $99 battery, I should take their special deal of $649 to “upgrade” to a refurbished Evo. What a joke. No way in hell they’ll ever get a dime from me. Can you say Washington state attorney generals office? Hello Mavic Air 2.
Rip-off.
