Hi guys, last time's post didn't really go well, so I decided to do more research to find the cheapest long-flight time drone, and I found this, the UDI U818A-HD (Link) and it's currently on a ~70% sale. Should I get this drone or something else? Please suggest a drone that will fly for a long time while cheap. Thanks!

O yea forgot about that. My version of cheap is probs around 100$, because it's for my 'training' before I buy a good one

My version of long flight time is at least 8 mins, over 10 mins is better. That drone has around 10 min of fly time for each battery, so it has a total of 20 mins.

That is a real cheapo drone for a higher price :) Don't expect much out of it

What do you mean? It is cheap for a higher price?

Like it's a really cheap drone that they just put a higher price and a name on it. But if you want to just learn flying a quad I would check out for instance bangood.com, they got some pretty cheap drones just to get you up in the air and learning how to fly.

Oh, sorry I live in Indonesia so I'm not too sure about the shipping costs and whatnot. Sadly, I don't have many choices. I also found the X5HW, which seems to be a bit better. Which of these two is better? Thanks!

They should have free shipping, just put something in your basket on the website and check it out. 

 

But do you want to get something big or small? You gonna practice before maybe going for something greater?

 

Would also suggest looking some of these videos:

They showcase quite alot of cheaper drones that are pretty decent :)

Oh, that's cool. I would like something medium sized, like the ones I asked for. I have tried the parrot mini drone and it was absolutely f8ckin terrible and overpriced, so I decided to get something that is pretty inexpensive, but has good performance. Thanks! you're very helpful with this!
