That drone looks awesome for the price! I got a similar Potensic model last year, and I was really impressed with the quality of the footage for the cost. It’s great to see you’re getting extra batteries and features like tracking for $350—that’s a steal compared to a DJI Mini 2! Just double-check the local drone laws where you’re going. Hope you get some amazing shots on your trip!

Check out Costco. DJI mini 3 on sale for $299.

Hey Skins did you ever settle on a drone? Because I blame you for the Mini 3 I have in a pelican case at the moment.

I ended up with the original one I linked, couldn't justify the extra cash for the DJI. I also went with the linked one because of no geofencing; not under scrutiny or possible ban; lastly the DJI privacy concerns.


Here's my first flights:

That’s really cool. I’ll blame you for the drone I bought on Prime Day that was delivered and waiting at the house today. Had you not posted this thread, I wouldn’t have started looking at them.

Skins,
How long will your drone fly on a full charge?

What is this geofence thing?

Thanks

It's an invisible fence based on GPS. It blocks drones from going into restricted air space. The benefit is less thought is needed to fly, and can protect you from unknown restricted areas. The downside is that geofencing may extend past restricted areas.

Most people would probably prefer geofencing, I like the idea of less restrictions.

Batteries are rated @32 min each, the package I ordered has 3. In theory over 1.5hrs. The few test flights I've made have been 25+ minutes, with the exception of flying it in fast mode. I think it's set to return to home at 15% battery.
