Madmini Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 What do you want to use it for? £150 is a very tight budget to work with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 only for flying around, dont use cameras or anything like that. yeah budget is bit tight at the moment so just want something to bash with really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegisteredUser Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 You wont get much for £150 I'm afraid. Besides Hubsan, you might be able to get something pre-owned from someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although I just looked on Banggood and they are £300 with radio at the moment, a lot cheaper without!) Do you have any radio gear or anything?

Don't you fancy having a go at building one? I thought it would be a nightmare but actually it's not that bad, I built an Air-Ro 4" racer now that is quite a compact frame!

Madmini Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 for your budget your really going to struggle for the features your looking for. so your going to have to compromise somewhere. you might be able to find a second hand walkera runner 250 within that budget but if im honest there not exactly what i would describe as good. i think you need to consider what you can live without and what you actually want to use it for. if its just for some flying about without fpv or photography then grab yourself a hubsan x4 micro or similar, maybe an e010 (tho neither of those have gps). like most things it boils down to what your usage is will define what you want and therefor the price. regarding building, i think that term is over used when it comes to quads mostly its just soldering some cables together and a few screws.

froggy8 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 yeah i realize 150 is not alot but surely there might be some secondhand ones i could try look? it doesnt have to be new, maybe i can push it bit more on the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavster29 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 How about something like this...

RegisteredUser Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 You might be able to get a pre-owned DJI Phantom 1 or something. Can't be that many around these days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
