mini 2 is £420 or £550 for the combo, I've not seen cheaper.

However, the camera on it is very capable, the low weight means you can fly it anywhere, which was the bonus for me. Today I've been flying it watching surfers

I paid £474 for the combo 3 months ago. There are deals to be had on these drones and Amazon in particular has been dropping the price over the last week.

Agree that it’s so awesome to be able to fly over people (not crowds) and get some awesome perspective shots, I did the same with paddleborders at Cotswold Water Park recently.

That Surf school - really shot as a practice for me

Nice, do you have ND filters for the vids?

[Byker28i]

No, at the moment just using the beach as a big practice area as there's few people around, so just as it came.
I am amazed at the cameras capability

For those looking the Mini 2 is available at the moment on ebay either as stand alone or fly more - one of the sellers has 15% off which puts the Flymore at £489 & the stand alone at £359

Showing as £419 again now. You have to be quick on these deals. I have a Mini 2 already and I've been very pleased with it.

Has anyone got an AliExpress special? Recommendations perhaps?

Do any of these drones have a standard lens view (50mm on a full frame DSLR) most of them seem to be wide angle view?

Thanks.

You can get the large drones with interchangeable lenses but the closest you'll get without spending significant money is the Mavic 2 Pro whilst recording video in the highest setting is 40mm equivalent.

Or you could pick up the Mavic 2 Zoom which has a full-frame equivalent zoom range of 24-48mm

Mavic 2 pro crops well as well. Used this as a book cover (big crop) :

Just before sunset at Broadway tower. Don’t have to be high to get the good ones…

Nice we were there a couple of weeks ago, it's where I used my mini 2 to do a tracking shots of cars parked.

Just got a Mini 2 recently, first drone for me. Only one, vaguely presentable shot so far - Colzium House, near Falkirk:

Got a friend who does drone stuff as a hobby, he's on Instagram as the_pixelpig some of the stuff is really cool.
