Agree with Howdy2u2 I bought a SYMA X5HW off Amazon to do some practicing on I bought a load of extra batteries and a charger so I could keep it in the air as they don't last very long, the video is pretty low res but fine for practicing with, the best thing was I didn't care if I crashed it! I think it was about £50 for the lot and its pretty easy to get to grips with and then when you move onto say a 2nd hand Phantom or Mavic they will be like going from Willys Jeep to a Range Rover much nicer and easier!
I think the Mavic Platinum is the most recent model out and they are still a bit thin on the ground so like A CW said if a new one does come out it wont actually be shipping until later on this year I suspect.
You could buy a 2nd hand Mavic and a second battery for it but the prices are pretty strong (in the UK anyway) even as the Platinum is out (its not enough of a difference to upgrade from Mavic to Mavic Platinum)
I'd wait a week and see what happens but even a new one is launched I doubt the prices will move drastically and all the ones on Ebay seem well priced if not over priced for second hand models.
Good luck and which ever drone you buy learn as much as you can and you will enjoy it a lot more and just don't fly like a [insert a rude word here] and fuel the haters even more! |
