Beginner DIY quadcopter kit for Christmas

[MurrayS]

Is it possible for you to put together a price for a complete package with everything I would need including FPV gear ? I don’t want the best and priciest stuff at least for now but as a starter. That QAV 210 kit looks fine that comes with a controller. Not sure how good it is but that doesn’t really matter at the moment. I would need goggles and all that as well.

I just wanted a rough price that would include everything I needed. Obviously I can get the soldering stuff myself and the rest of the tools.

Your help is very much appreciated

Here is what I would suggest for a beginner FPV Quadcopter kit

• Quadcopter kit with R/C transmitter/receiver - https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/qav-210-diy-quadcopter-kit/ - £150
• ​Add FPV camera/transmitter - https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/fpv-25-bundle-pack-fov-148/ (we will be upgrading this kit shortly so new price will be about £25)
• Battery and charger - https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/tattu-1550mah-11-1v-45c-3s1p-lipo-battery-pack/ £25
• And lastly some goggles - https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/vr-007-fpv-goggles-with-40ch-raceband-receiver/ £50
  ​
  ​So for a basic kit you are looking at around £250 or so for everything you need. But depending on your budget, and what you are after you can swap some parts for better gear like more powerful motors, better goggles etc…
  ​
  ​Hope that helps.

Hi Alex

I’m interested in the QAV kit also as a gift for my father. He is very much into Arduino kits and likes soldering (has an electronics background) but is not a programmer. Is the ArduCopter no longer offered?

In any case, as to the QAV, is the new FPV kit now available? If not, what parts made up the previous bundle?

Many thanks
