Hi Guys,

Been wanted to buy mavic but I always worried where to test it here? Any place near Sengkang good for beginners (totally no drone expereince) that have lesser crowds and wider area (away from trees and etc)

Basically, the only legal place to fly zone is at southern part of Singapore. Northeast like sengkang n punggol r no fly zone.

Sentosa seems not included in those restriction but I thought saw some article says also offlimit

That depends on property owner. Yes sentosa management does not allow drone. Nparks also don't allow. This map is from caas. They mainly in charge of airspace around airports n airbase.

Hello, are you guys active flyers? Flew planes and helis years ago... now with limited space, drones seems like a better option.

Currently aiming for the Hubsan H501 series. seems like some have a range of 300m and one of the models range is 1km.. cheaper option than DJI Spark.

tempted to get the Spark but wont know how long I'll stay in this hobby again hah...

Anyone bought drone from gearbest before. I bought a budget set (FuriBee F36) last month and opt for the free shipping. I was tracking the shipment status and it reflects the status at Singapore customs since 27 Aug. I tried asking gearbest, and there is nothing they can do also.

Is this normal????

bought stuff a few times from gearbest. everything was ok. for your case should be under delayed custom clearance. try contacting the forwarder?

Gearbest is direct shipping right? I try asking them, they say they will try asking the delivery company, but if it's at customs then there is nothing much they can do but wait it out...

i see. im waiting for my dji spark to arrive. maybe can fly together with me and another person.

if you are considering dji spark make sure you buy the controller for extended range of up to 2km and 500m altitude. flying with your phone limits your range to 100m distance and 50m in altitude which spoils the purpose of having an aerial photography drone. that's what i just found out.

I've only flew at the open field at Bishan Street 15 so far and hoping to check out new places
