Product Information
FLY STRAIGHT FROM THE BOX
Setting up a new drone can sometimes be time consuming. After all, you've got to update all the firmware, install the appropriate apps, fully charge all the batteries and register your account.
Although quite straight forward, by the time you've updated and charged everything, you could have spent hours of your time waiting around before the drone has even left the box. Plus, with the British weather being so unpredictable, you could be waiting a lot longer for the rain clouds to pass, so it's important to be ready to go whenever an opportunity arises.
Thankfully, we've got the perfect solution to help you get the most out of your drone from the moment you open the box. Here at Drones Direct we offer a unique pre-delivery service where our experts ensure all the boring things are all taken care of so you can focus on the fun stuff like flying your drone straight away!
