All right what’s going on you guys!
So I thought I’d make a video on this whole drone situation in India and also In this video I’ll tell you what problems i faced when i was planning to buy a drone for myself..
I did my little research on the net..almost for a month..and I was confused in making a firm decision..whether i should buy it here in India..or should i get one from abroad...Now there are many stores in India who illegally sell drones and are authorised dealers of DJI ..but if you compare the prices in India with the prices in abroad..you’ll come to know that they are very expensive over here..as they are officially banned in India..moreover most of these stores don’t even give a proper bill on purchase..nor do they accept credit or debit cards..they just accept cash..
So technically it’s illegal even if you buy it in India or from abroad.
If you order it from international websites..you’ll have a hard time clearing it from customs.
So what to do in such a situation?
1.Buy it in India at a higher price?
2.Order online?
Or
3.Get one with yourself while coming back from abroad
I went for the 3rd option as I already had a trip planned to Singapore.
I decided to take the risk..and I successfully cleared it through customs after returning back...
All I did was..I bought it from a duty free store at Singapore airport..and simply carried it in my handbag to India..
On returning I walked through the green channel during customs declaration..and yes I did screen my handbags..and I successfully cleared it even after screening it in customs..
The main reason being just the shear size of this tiny drone..
Now if you’re planning on getting a bigger drone like the phantom..you might have a hard time leaving the airport..
The risk is minimal in case of smaller drones like the spark or even a mavic for that matter..
We cannot deny that risk is involved in buying it either ways..
I won’t suggest you guys to do what I did.
Nor am I taking any responsibility for anyone..
I just shared my thoughts and my experience.
The final decision is upto you guys on how n where do you want to buy it
Here’s an unboxing video of my drone followed by some OnBoard footage!
