Gearbest is one of the largest rc retailers in the world. Many of the products in their clearance activity – drones, quadcopters, rc cars – are at the lowest price you can find, probably the lowest price in the world. And in this right moment they have BIG PROMOTIONS on the RC drone and cars categories, and they’re for products in USA, EU and CHINA wharehouses!
They can provide the best prices, and shipping is often free worlwide. They basically ship from China, but the good news is that they have warehouses in Europe and in USA, so you can buy from there with 2 advantages:
- fast shipping, you can have your product in 3-6 days;
- no risk of paying a commission to your local customs.
I personally bought many things from GearBest, and all the products were shipped within 24 hours from the order, and I received them in 3 days from the EU warehouse (located in the UK) and in a few days from the China warehouse. For example I bought the top seller drone Cheerson CX-20 and some spare part like the full body shell set and a motor that were accidentally damaged because of a crash during a flight, and the Gitup Git2 action cam, probably the best action cam for 100$.
Now they’re making big deals, like flash sales or promotions from USA, EU and CHINA warehouses.
Flash sales
These are some of the flash sales available until April 24th. There are some very good deals: Walkera Runner 250 Basic-2 package for just 155$, Xiaomi Yi action cam for just 67$, Xiaomi Night vision surveillance camera for just 28$, the brand new Heken H8R 4k@30fps action camera with remote control:
USA Warehouse promotions
If you live in the USA you can’t miss this opportunity to get a lot of RC drones or cars at big discount prices, sent from the USA wharehouse without any custom cost and with a short shipping time. Let’s see some example.
Walkera Runner 250 is a nice quadcopter with brushless motors.
It weights 530g battery included and can fly up to 14 minutes.
This is the upgraded version with these features:
• Double Antenna Receiver
• Tall Mushroom Antenna
• 2500KV Motor Set
The basic 3 package costs just 160$ instead of 364$ from the USA wharehouse.
This drone is perfect for racing and not for newbies. This is a new type of amusement, and needs drones built for this purpose. Until now people who wanted racing drones had to build their own, so this segment was not for everyone. With this drone everybody can enjoy a race, even in FPV buying the more expensive FPV version.
This model is suited for flyers who have a decent amount of experience with smaller models and at the very least are comfortable flying in angle (self leveling) mode. While it can certainly carry a small (Mobius, RunCam) video camera, this is NOT a camera drone. These drones typically trade off flight time and ease of use for speed and performance. It does not have a GPS, thus will not hover in place without constant adjustment from the operator. In short, this is not for an absolute beginner. Despite their small size these drones are fast and powerful, and can be a handful to fly for somebody with little to no flight experience. This model is targeted toward somebody who has some flying experience under his belt, is interested in racing or proximity FPV, and is looking for something that’s ready to fly.
You can also find the SJ5000 plus for 91$, probably the best price on the web, and these other deals (and many others):
EU Warehouse
In the EU warehouse you can find many deals, including the Firefly 6s for just 101$, a really good 2k action camera with gyro stabilizer, usually used for drones.
