    Anyone used DronesForLess?

    Thanks for the link. I'm in Belfast N. Ireland. I didn't know until yesterday that they are based in the US. They have a .co.uk website and a London telephone number. I've just received a text message from DHL to say my delivery will be with me by close of business tomorrow. They're fast if...

    Anyone used DronesForLess?

    Should I buy the Q500 4K or...

    Hi. I'm buying my first drone/quadcopter/SAV or whatever the "in" word is for them this week, in the next few days. I originally had my heart set on a Phantom Pro but just yesterday I caught a glimpse of the Q500 4K package going for about £150 cheaper than the P3P with a hard case and an extra...
