Hubsan is H501 series is a good start. Follow me, GPS return.. i think the most stable so far for a "toy". can try rotor hobby

if budget permits, get a DJI Spark

seems like dji spark is pretty good start....

If you want a good video taking, guess 2nd hand phantom 3 is better with 3 axis for stable video recording over spark with only 2 axis.

That is my opinion and consideration when I deciding between spark and Phantom.

Just signed up for the Basic Drone course with certification.
The course which is just signed up is Claimable with skillsfuture credits.
The course comes with Syma X5Uw drone and would be able to fly (take) home. Also the course can have chance to fly the DJI Phantom.
From what i know the Syma X5UW is an entry-level drone with 720p camera.

I am Thinking to get the DJi Spark as the beginning for the upgrade from Syma X5UW. I think this courses just started not long ago, good for those who wanted to know the skills and to get certification.

Yes. It's the skillsHQ website. Basic Drone Course. You register First, thereafter they will send u a link for payment or claim skills future credit.

Instructions step by step will be emailed to you how to claim. Login to singpass to skills future website and click the course and upload email documentation. That's it

And choose the dates you are available. Location is at Tradehub21

Yes. It was shared to me during the skills future road show. I have the updated browsure that is similar to the one uploaded on the website. It states "Keep course material". Which refers to the drones.

oic, thanks.
The drone costs abt $120. So practically for me is to exchange $420 for that drone, if not, $500 credit also no use for me. :D
Then can let my kids play with it.

Any review from U on the course & the drone?

Review of this drone not very gd. range is poor (from one of the youtube reviews); with RC = 75ft, with phone = 100ft. But Gd enough for fun.

Errm, not yet, I've signed up for next month course. Will know and review when i fly it and the DJI Phantom Pro 4.

Actually not bad, you don't pay anything for the drone and a certification.
At least get skills and handling techniques of handling drones like Phantom.
