And your point?
you serious?
Yeah what you've linked is a 'quadcopter' and is very different to a drone. A drone will typically have some software/AI driving it, while a quadcopter is just a fancy RC helicopter.
Looks like a piece of junk and based on my experience with quadcopters and this simple calculator you won't get more than 7 mins https://imgur.com/a/2nfk28K. Good Luck
Great Price. Recommend getting the extra battery as well with it, which will be 15% 0ff from the same store.
Wish I had that money to spare, great drone
Fimi X8 isnt too bad if you want something cheaper.
agree! but fimi x8 is not that cheap at $725. it would be great at less than $600

thanks. will keep an eye on it. time to sell my mi 4k which i barely used…
Or we earn more than the median income… Pretty simple
Yes but only about 25% are above the $80k p/a, or there about.
And the top 4% are not much above $100K earners. So I read.So it beats me where the masses of people get extra money for iphones, teslas, o'seas holidays, and the rest.
When we appear to be 95% lowish income earners, in a high cost of living country.
Nevermind…
Just assume I make my money doing nefarious things
Agreed.
Kmart is my friend… and of course OzBargain for the occasion deal splurge
Quit trolling. Mind your own business. You’re on Ozbargain.
I'm not trolling overly sensitive one.
With a median Aus income of $52,988 a year
Where does this figure come from?
It includes all employed Australian workers, incl. parttime.
https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/how-much-do-you-need-to…
(…median pay to $1019 a week ($52,988 a year)"
See about 1/2 way down page.
So your $50k average is nett. From the same article
To put this into perspective, the average weekly wage for an adult in Australia working full-time as of November 2017 (before tax) was $1567.90.
This would put the gross annual average at $81,530.80 in 2017. Both figures are valid but generally pre tax numbers are used.
@OzBragain: Hi OzBragain, your figure doesn't include parttime workers, so back to ~$53k income pre-tax. Or am I incorrect.
@[Deactivated]: You're not incorrect, I just think your number is misleading.
The average full-time salary is $85,982 (includes OT and bonuses) source: https://www.livingin-australia.com/salaries-australia/
What percentage of the work force is PT.. 25%? If 25% can skew the $85,982 down to $52,988 it's probably not a good number to use.
@NuclearWessels: RE the 85K vs 52K - without reading the article, I see one person is referencing median, then the other average, so if that wasn't a typo, it's more than just PT vs FT in this equation as there is a big difference between average and median. Average will be heavily influenced by those with huge incomes.
@Dan83: Yeh you're completely correct, but I was more getting at username02's comment throwing the median around like it was a proper indicator of what a typical Australian has to spend. It's not a good number because the PT/FT median is heavily skewed by a 25-30% PT workforce which includes stay-at-home parents, students, transitioning retirees etc. It's not a fair number to use in affordability- combined household income etc would be better.
Or am I incorrect.
If you want to include part time because it fits your argument then go for it
@OzBragain: I DID include part-time figures in the original comment!
Consequently, the exact figure $52,988 direct from the article was quoted. IE: "With a median Aus income of $52,988 a year,"Why would part-time workers NOT count in employment statistics? They are equally relevant to Australia's median income stats, as they are in fact approx 1/3 of all workers in Oz.
See: https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/mf/6202.0
They work, they pay tax, they buy stuff, they eat … they are real. They live off a lower income base.
Oh well, I feel like lisa simpson now.
@[Deactivated]: Digressions aside, part time workers are unlikely to consider buying $999 drones. Engineers on $150-200k could fairly easily. Some people on here spend that much on a vacuum cleaner. Some triple that on a TV. It depends on individuals choices. There's been many posts with lots claiming salaries $120k++.
i am not 22 years old
I am, been that way for 30 years.
Define 'useless toys' though. Some people might use the drone for a photography business. I used to own a phantom 4 standard which we used for aerial surveillance of our property etc.
Not everyone on ozbargain is rich or spends all there time buying useless stuff. I find it a great resource to check on when shopping for things I need.
Code expired. Back up to $1599
I'm trying to tell myself I didn't really want one anyway….
That was a great price. I got the Mavic Pro in the $800 deal a few months ago. Worth every cent. These things are so capable it isn't funny. I have been in RC for 20+ years and this is the most expensive (only just as my electric converted 1/5 Baja was close) and best RC purchase so far. The video footage from these while flying look like a still photo they are that stable and that high res. 15 years ago an entry level electric helicopter, which was pretty useless, was $300 and the average wage was less than half what it is now.
Never saw that 800 deal. But this platinum had quieter motors and different props.
I was still too slow…You can buy the quiet props for the regular mavic too. I would say the MPP is marginally quieter, nothing groundbreaking, certainly not $200 worth.
Yeah they are quieter props not motors, which you can use on the Pro. The platinum also has slightly more efficient ESC's giving a minute or so of extra flight time. For me the extra wouldn't be worth it, but both are great deals. I am sure there will be more great deals on these older models until they stop making/selling them.
After going back up to 1599
It's now down again to 1199, and then to 1079 with the 10% PRETZEL code.
Not as good as 999 here obviously, but still good price.
