Title: Wish to purchase Quad from Hobbyking.!!
Post by: Shehwar on January 27, 2017, 11:33:52 PM
Hey guys i recently was browsing through Hobbyking for a few spares and noticed this quad as a very cheap offer from Hobbyking.


https://hobbyking.com/en_us/quanum-venture-fpv-deluxe-quad-copter-set-w-dji-fatshark-afro-parts-pnf.html


i immediately thought this was a steal deal  (:|~ and tried to check it out, but before i could it came to mind that "What if it's too good to be true ?" :-\
hence went through the reviews , sure some problems have been faced but nothing major that a fine tune-up couldn't fix.
hence i wanted to know can i order this from HK or will it get stuck in customs due to FPV ? ???
any input is appreciated and is it also possible to get the unit locally ?
has anyone purchased this from HK  and if so, how much did you pay for customs.
Thanks.

It will extremely likely be seized by customs because of vtx and the fact that the package weighs over 2.5kg.

Oh! So should I purchase only the basic version or is there any way through which I can buy this India for approx same cost ???

People coming from US can bring it dismantled. No assembled set is allowed.
People bring their dji quad packing their parts at different places in their luggage so they all together do not resemble a quad

If bought via luggage then removing the antennas should be enough.
