sdavisnz: I picked up a dji mini 2 fly more kit from cash converters yesterday for 499, they have some more on the website.

Wait, Cash Converters was actually price-competitive? Every time I've looked at something on there it's either been beaten to death or of questionable functionality (e.g. important parts missing) and priced close to or even above retail.

Haha, I always think the same.

I just got lucky I think, maybe it was a fluke.

I have a mini UFO style drone (infrared sensing - no remote) coming from china $18.17

And a XKJ 2021 Mini Drone ($57.76 for the most expensive config - 4k camera, bag & 3 batteries).

Impulse buy during 11 - 11 sales. Never really had an interest in drones, but had a lot of fun with a cheap RC helicopter in my uni days.

Amazing what can be got for so little money - but my expectations aren't that high.
