Good price though-use the savings to get a couple of spare batteries.

Its only upto 12 mins so 3/4 of the way there... though i recommend getting big aftermarket batteries the drone is slightly less nimble but much better to fly for ages longer imho

Ok, managed to bag a snow for £105 from warehouse Amazon...anything I've got from there has been fine, so a deal indeed I hope. If it's crap I can just return it. Can anyone who's owned one recommend the extra batteries to get? Can be a minefield...thanks

I assumed 9min run time so 3/4 of quoted battery life of 12 min... Maybe
