G'Day guys,
Im a newbie to all this and sorry if this is in the wong and if I am in the wrong place.
I am looking at buying a drone to see if I like them and Im working on a budget of $150.00 as a starter unit. Any suggestions and advise as to what to look for? So far I feel I would like a return to base with low battery, GPS, easy to operate for a dummy, 20 minute fly time.
Sorry if this is wrong an d thanks in advance for any help.

As a side note, I stuffed up typing my details when registering and my user name should be cobbadog and I can't see how to change it. Again any ideas please?

Welcome to the forum and did move this for you to the correct section for checking in. Now I will have to let someone else help you with a choice on a cheaper drone
as I have never owned one. We have also spoke on your name spelling and as soon as a Admin logs on that will
be fixed.
Enjoy the forum and good luck.

If you want to see if you'll like a DJI drone, you'll really need to fly a DJI drone. They are nothing like drones that cost $150 (or less). Perhaps you can find a nearby DJI drone owner that'll let you see/try one in person?

Thanks for correcting MY spelling mistake Admin.

Thank you to all the warm welcomes, it is appreciated. I do understand that this Forum is based on a quality brand drone and once I have tried something from the lower end I certainly will look into an upgrade, but if I can' get my head around it all and have a major OOPS that puts it to the grave I would not be so disappointed and have lost as much on the trial run. Living in a remote area on the Mid North Coast of NSW near Taree there is only one option to go to and possibly try a drone of some sort. There is a R.C. Aero Club based at Wingham which is near by us and we went there some time back when they held some Australian tittle race that I knew nothing about but boy was it all impressive. I will look into when they are having another Club da and go and say g'day.
Thanks again Cobba
