I had a mavic pro and it's was an incredible machine. I sold it after realising I had no use for it what so ever.
It's a great buy as extra batteries are a must.

Why should having to register and pass a simple test put anyone off? The real question you need to ask is can you justify spending a thousand pounds on something you may only use a few times? Once you have shot a few videos of some fields and trees what are you intending doing with the footage?
Spending the money on a good digital camera and tripod (to enable selfies) is probably a better investment. If you want to fly RC models there are much cheaper alternatives and may hold your interest for longer (especially if you join a club).

Damn that is such a sensible and straight to the point answer.

It wasn't. It was the drone and accessory kit. I bought one.

Unless you're strictly into voyeurism... who else would care to spend this much?

I got mine from techinthebasket for 800 insured delivery (from Manchester). There is a deal on here just now for 50 quid batteries (I paid 69). So, drone and 3 batteries for 900 is possible just now, I doubt black Friday will beat that.
It wasn't part of prime day, the Mavic with accessorie pack was which is not the same.

Be gone, there is no place for logic here, this is hukd we only impulse buy things we don't need because they are cheap or we snipe all available items cheap to up sell later on eBay for profit. All other possibilities are Moot flirt

New laws are to be brought in soon by the looks of it where everyone has to be registered and take a training course to fly a drone because of idiots flying near planes and around their flight paths. Was looking to get this till I saw the news this morning don't know if I should now.

It will be in the form of an online proficiency test. Pretty straightforward.

Because you wantes to fly near planes?! Ha only joking.
I wouldn't worry. If anything, I feel this morning's news is good news. It means drone users will be more sensible and as a result maybe they'll get less bad press....

The developer options are simply commented out in the code, just edit in notepad (remove the //) and you can do away with the UK distance restrictions. The UK guidelines do say that you should always fly line of site and also, it is very bursty when you lose visual on your 1 grand investment so use common sense.

Interesting.
Any further details out there? I thought they had made the code tamper proof.

It would probably take a high res picture of the receipt for the kitchen, not sure if that helps with negotiations.

Spending the money on a good digital camera and tripod (to enable selfies) is probably a better investment. If you want to fly RC models there are much cheaper alternatives and may hold your interest for longer (especially if you join a club).

I've just sold my mavic pro and it was a awesome drone but I'm the same with the previous post and didn't have the time for it.
