    Drones

    I have been thinking of buying a drone for filming and reccy work.

    Never had one and would think buying a usable cheapish one in order to learn a bit would be the go before I looked at a Dji Phantom or the like.

    Follow me function is a must with a bit of range.

    Anyone out there have experience with a good first buy?
    I have seen a lot of drone footage pop up in members videos.

    Would be good to film Ipsc practice and the like.

    Bit pricey for a beginner. Would definitely look at it after a bit of experience using one.

    A mate has not long got one, first drone. Super easy to fly. I'd never flown one before and within 5 mins I was into it. Press a button and it returns to home abd lands itself.

    I'll go straight to the mavic when I get one.

    Fair enough. Just looking at all the guff on them now.
    Might be the best option.

    Whilst I totally agree a drone can be an amazing tool........... I reckon drone shooting should be a sport.......

    It is. Replaces clay targets. Was told about it a while ago.
