I have a Proflight Orbit which I find easy to fly and god quality pics but you cannot buy a spare battery so,after agonising customer service Drones Direct have offered to replace my drone with three alternatives the D15,the D19 or the X18. They will credit me and I stump up the price difference - fair enough. However,I cannot find any reviews indeoendant of DD that enable me to make a decision. I am tempted by the x18 but I would need to put a lot to it and some of the reviews by Direct Group staff? are not good so where do I go for advice? I do appreciate thet they are "toy" drones compred with proper ones as they cannot be repaired and are quickly superceded by later models but I just need an inexpensive introduction to droning. If the quality of the 15,19 and 18 are as good as the Orbit I would be satisfied. Also as DD appear to own Proflight and although their CS need sorting out they are supreme at marketing. However,even though they don't charge a king's ransome for their products I simply need the opinion of actual users. I also appreciate that many folk simply take 'em out of the box and fly them without careful setting up so that has to be considered in all reviews.
I would appreciate any advice as I must make a decision upon which exchange is best for me. I am very tempted by the brushless motors of the X18 as I have used them in my model 'planes to great effect and I found that the Orbit would only fly safely - and you can't afford to damage these cheap entry level drones- in the lightest of winds.
Many thanks John on the Wirral
