pre-order only and not shipped yet, so any drone problems not known yet...

so far from youtube the only complaint is blue-ish camera/video under cold environment. That should be OK in s'pore.

the other problem i find is difficult to buy extra batteries in s'pore.

this drone is already price/performance bargain like what hwzlite said. alternate is to get a used Mavic Pro from Carousell.

Pre-ordered from where?

banggood.com taking preorder at S$688 (shipping inclu). I do not know how much $ you can use from your banggood new user S$100 coupon for this purchase.
note that banggood is lousy service and problematic. you need some luck, and i bought my mavic2 zoom from banggood. you can try other sellers from lazada when there is ready stock.

from online users' experience of old Fimi MiDrone 4K, I think Fimi X8 should have similar or better quality. Alternative is to get an used mavic pro from carousell :D

Ha Ha, just nice that period kind of busy, paiseh.

Can, this saturday afternoon? Whatsapp or PM me. =:p


Hihi, pai say to hijack your conversation, cos I am also keen to join you guys to fly this Saturday as well. Am staying in Whampoa,which is near Toa Payoh. If you guys dun mind me joining, then I would quickly go get a new drone. Previously flown Hubsan H501 and Walkera racer drone but sold them already. Thinking of getting Spark (but cost a bit high), ordering Fimi might not make it in time for weekend though...

P/s:I am not new here, just that I was unable to login after a long hiatus and created new account.

No need to have the drone in time to fly together, you can join us this saturday then come down with your drone after you have gotten it. =:p

Hi, DJI Spark is already some 2yr old product. Spark is good, but new sets at that old DJI price is no longer attractive. There are better drones like Fimi A3/X8. Unless you are talking of getting some deep discount/used Spark from Carousell.

Would be better if you check with our Spark Expert=hwzlite here first, before getting any Spark. He has fully utilized his Spark since day one (up to torturing/abusing, very cents spent all juice-ed back) and he is the expert who knows every single detail of spark's capabilities and limitations. He also knows all the lobangs where to get cheap Spark or other better drones.

i still fly my Spark, but i think not recommended as new buy.

;)

Hihi, thanks so much for your advice! Appreciate it lots! Actually i don't have any preference for Spark. It's just that i feel it would be safer to have geo fencing and it is not easy to get one with. That's why i considered DJI and Spark is the cheapest model that offers the feature. Yes, you are right, for that kind of price and for an old model like Spark, i can go for Xiaomi Fimi. Cos to me, DJI is like the iPhone in drones.. premium pricing. I have checked in carousell $650 for fly more combo. Oh, sure, i will check with him for his expertise on Spark. Thanks again!

May be you can join us, we fly at different places every weekend. Mainly aerial photography drones

Or, you can look for blade81. Last time they fly at corporation road, I think now they mostly flying at woodlands road. Mainly 5" racers.

If you ask me, the best thing about the Bugs 5W is the addition of a fully fledged mechanical gimbal. Nope – it is not one of those fancy 3-axis monsters that cost a fortune. Nope – it’s a 1-axis gimbal that can be tilted 90 degrees. Not only does it provide in-flight tilting directly from the controller but it also does an amazing job of eliminating jello effect and aerial vibrations.

Incredibly attractive price for Fimi MiDrone 4k. Probably can bring it for overseas tour to take drone pictures of mountains, rivers and lakes.
Most places in Singapore are no-fly zone or no scenery.

:D

Its been almost a year since we flew at corporation road. mainly because NFZ.

but I think user Quadcopter more suitable to fly with. since the focus is mainly auto hover quads with mounted camera gimbal for smooth Ariel photography.

The group I fly focus on FPV flyin, some of us cant even fly line of sight so I am not sure if we are a good match.

our means of videography unlike the DJI folks.
We strap a gopro on a quad and fly it around.
something like below...with a mounted session 5 on a 5inch freestyle quad
