Drone suggestion

I ordered it through FIMI Australia. It came from China in 9 days.
Banggood sell them and I think AliExpress too.

Yes, they do, $449.00 USD and in stock (Bangood). Only issue I see is they only ship with one battery and I don't see additional batteries offered.

I might order one next month, I'm collecting drones now....lol FIMI will be 3.

There are other options as in pay more for the 2 battery option or Fimi Care.
Check Aliexpress prices. I could have saved money if I had got mine there. LOL

I just bought an extra battery from Banggood. They have a lot of accessories. fimi x8 se 22 - Buy fimi x8 se 22 with free shipping | Banggood.com


3 drones? I can beat that LOL. I have 3 other autonomous drones that fly by tablet.
I got offered a 3/4 built Hexacopter yesterday and I said NAH.....
Thinking of selling a couple actually.

At present I am using a Huawei phone with a 6" screen. The handpiece will take a 8" tablet like the Lenovo or iPad Mini.

Just bought a Galaxy A10 Android a few days ago. My old Android is getting battery longevity issues.

I have an FAA permit to fly my Drone. I'm not a commercial licensed pilot. FAA knows my Drone by it's serial number. There are very strict restrictions on where and how you fly. I am very considerate of violating people's space. I rarely fly in heavily populated areas and if so it's at events like at the local Dragstrip or a Parade. I maintain courteous height when near people. I don't want my Drone to be a nuisance.

FAA regulates my height at 400ft. Here's a pic from that height.

Sounds exactly like me. I use my Phantom 4 but I play by the rules and try to remain respectful of others.

I did fly over a field full of sheep at around 200’ which scattered them real quickly. I hauled butt out of there before the farmer started shutting.

FAA Hobby (and commercial )Drone license states... 400 feet vertical and LOS only. Drone has to be visible to the operator. When you see people flying them miles away, they are flying illegally. IO think Canada is about the same. Not sure about Europe.

Just ordered a FIMI btw. Drones are like guns, never too many.

I searched the LOS rule and never found what I thought was clarity. I frequently fly with no eye contact with the Drone. I've never tested this to be sure but I'd guess I can "see" my Drone 3/8 mile maximum and that would be if the background was sky. More like 1/4 mile maximum if the background is Earth.

Typically any alphabet agency will have regs that can be interpreted in more ways than one. Same applies to the FAA.

One thing for sure, you can see an EVO a lot farther away than say a Mavic and the FIMI is white too, like the DJI grey, not really visible.

And the mini Drones disappear within seconds.

I could not see my white Fimi at 90 meters directly above me. I knew where it was because it was on screen but it wasn't until it was in landing mode that I caught site of it eventually.

Yeah, thats why I like my orange Drone.
