Black Bird 4K Drone… is it any good?

Buying Advice
1

I don’t know much about drones, but I want to get one for my boyfriend. I’ve been looking at the Black Bird 4K. It seems like it has good features for the price. But when I checked reviews online, they didn’t seem genuine. Has anyone tried this drone? Is it worth buying?

I got one today, and the camera quality is really bad.

This drone is a scam: https://youtu.be/FRHpjPmCspE. You might have better luck finding a used DJI Mini on eBay.

I had a feeling something was off. I don’t know a lot about drones, but the reviews just didn’t sit right with me. Thanks for the heads-up!

No problem! If your budget is around $500, look for a DJI Mini 2. It has great image quality and is easy to fly. I’d suggest getting the Fly More Combo, though it’s a bit over $500 new. You could probably find a used one that fits your budget.

Any suggestions for a beginner with a budget under $100?

You could try Snaptain. I got one for $59.99 from Walmart, and even though I’m no expert, it seems worth more than I paid. They have a few models under $100.

If you share your budget, I bet folks here can give some good advice.

Thanks! I’m looking to stay under $500.

I’m looking too… my budget is $250 or less.

Any recommendations for someone who crashes mini drones a lot but is determined to get better? Budget is under $100.

I’m also interested but my budget is $400-$500.

I was recommended the DJI Mini 2, which is usually $599, but I saw it on sale on Amazon for $509. If you can find it at that price, it’s a great choice. I’m really happy with mine!

I got the version with extra accessories, which bumped up the price a bit. If you skip the kit, you might be able to find it closer to $500.

I’d avoid this drone. I tried to buy it directly from the company, and my bank stopped the transaction, saying it was flagged as suspicious. It felt really sketchy.
