[QUOTE="Mjbok, post: 83036, member: 6764"] Question for thoughts and opinions from the group. I have a bunch of drones. They vary from a $15 handheld one that is garbage to a decked out Typhoon H that was 1500+ when purchased. With the exception of my garbage drones I try to fly all of them from time to time, except the Spark. Once I got the Air the reasons for flying the Spark disappeared. In many ways the Air is just a much, much better version of the Spark rather than a lesser version of the Mavic Pro. Here's my question. I have a nephew who has shown interest in drones that is graduating from high school in the spring. Is it a bad gift? The negatives are: It's used, don't have the original box...and that's about it. The positives are: It is basically new. Less than 50 flights (probably less than 30), four batteries, case, filters, legs, extra props. There's a stigma to a used gift. We would also give whatever our standard cash gift is, but I can see it coming off as a negative. Plus I won't include a phone or tablet (but will include the OTG cable) that would be needed as well as they would need a micro SD card. On the one hand I would think it's a great gift. It isn't doing anything for me, and it would give him a chance to dip his toe into the hobby. On the other hand, it is used (even though it looks brand new). Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
