The Dark Knight Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'm going to be getting a DJI quad for my brother in law for his 30th birthday, he is really into his mountain biking and photography and has dropped a few hints that he'd like a quad for taking photos and filming. Now, with me being a total noob to quads, can anyone advise which would be the best model to get for him? I've been looking at the Phantom Vision & Vision +, are those two worth considering? He already has a Go-Pro so maybe it'd be worth considering one of the other models without a camera? Whichever model I end up getting hi, I'll also buy him an extra battery. Is the battery charger any good? Or is it worth buying him a better charger too? I'd prefer to buy from a UK dealer, where would be the best place to buy one from? Any advice much appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hebby Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 most places are the same price. if its customer service your after then i would recommend quadcopters.co.uk and as for accessories i wouldn't bother with prop guards unless flying close to anything that could touch the props and in that case you shouldn't be flying that close anyway prop guards i have read make the quad unstable but never tested so couldn't say extra batt is always a good idea cos nobody likes getting into a good flight and POW! batt dead and no spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
