Currently travelling so I bought myself a cheap but cheerful drone with a 2mp camera in it. Not bad I must say, can tell it's a bit cheap but real easy to control and the picture quality isn't bad - nout professional mind. Anyone else got a drone they use to take photos? Got a GoPro so when I get back to UK may buy a higher quality drone...

Probably best to learn to fly on something cheaper like you have done.

Look at DJI phantom for when you upgrade. I don't fly them but work on productions with people who do and for the price DJI drones are very good.

That's what I thought, only cost 35 quid, so no big deal if it gets a bit smashed up! Can you attach a GoPro to the DJI phantom? Cheers

Best plan, especially when you watch all the videos on youtube of people crashing them :lol:

Phantom 2 you can but the new ones come with DJI's own camera.

What make is your drone? Is it a syma? Been thinking of buying one but don't want to get a phantom until I get used to flying a cheaper one, was looking at a syma x8w with wifi camera on

Yep a Syma X5C I believe. 2mp camera comes with memory card so you just slot it into your laptop. Surprisingly strong, even though the controller feels/sounds/looks awful (it has fake buttons) it's a decent bit of kit for 40 odd quid!
 
I have a phantom vision but haven't flown it for what must be well over a year. Cracking things but find it hard to find the time to use it with work and family commitments.
