    Then we got on a bus which seemed to go for miles to what must've been the most remote stand on the airfield.

    I've done that bus ride, I think the stand is in Bahrain.

    Fucking magnificent !! Who was it booked through ???

    Let us know how much wine they dish out too please !!

    TIA !!

    I booked through Skyscanners, I check the prices every day and have been doing for a few weeks. I decided it was now or never, I would have preferred to fly with Qatar but they wanted £770. The next (fucking) day Qatar dropped to £550 for 1 day. Anomalies like that happen every now and then and by checking every day you can sometimes get one

    How long ago did you book that ? 

    I flew with them last September and they were great. I paid £595

    That layover is a bit of a bummer though as is the landing time but if you're ok with it that's all that matters.

    I booked it last Thursday Night, I've been watching the prices everyday on Skyscanners for a few weeks and decided it was now or never.

    Damn I’m getting old……I remember Dad building this huge 4 bedroom white brick spec house new in 1986 for $126K, and only the rarest of supercars costing more than $200K…..Over $4K/month just to lease a Bimmer, world’s gone mad…..

    This what they call inflation, eh?

    You think that's ridiculous? In certain countries you have to pay a monthly subscription to use the heated seats, the UK included apparently.

    The quality of the image is superb, you can even see the black bird on the grass searching for worms.

    What's the cost for the mini and how does the quality of the picture compare?

    The YouTube video is only 720, in 4K it looks far and away better. I tend not to use 4K because the files are far too big, about 250meg a minute.

    Here's me.

    They're both 4k cameras at 30fps I think they're both 12 meg still cameras too. Neither are made any more although, for now I can get the Mini repaired, apparently there's no spares available for the Phantom 4 anymore.

    I paid £299 for the Mini 2 3 years ago, they're on the Mini 3 now but I think you can still buy one.

  7. I've got 2 drones, I DJI Phantom 4 and a Mini 2, the Phantom is brilliant, an all sing all dancing piece of kit but it's too big that's why I bought the Mini. The Mini is all manual where the Phantom can track objects follow a course circle something. If you have line of sight the Phantom is good for about 3 miles but the Mini is a lot less, about 1/2 a mile. I know it's illegal but I did it out of curiosity just to see how far it would go.
