If you can get cheap one second hand, then great.
But I find what people want second hand, that brand new is often not much more.
Also if you time it right you can often get a good deal.
If you opt for a DJI thing, then I think go for the full package (often spare batteries and so on) as it seems to be the best value.
I think the UK has similar rules to those in the USA with weight.
Below a certain weight in the UK you I believe do a online test (basic) then your supposed to put your operators licence on the drone in case you crash it.
I suspect the The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in the UK is probably very similar to the rules and regulations in the USA. It would be logical for them to be all similar.
In the UK if you go above a certain weight then you are restricted on what you can do.
I best not get one as I would be tempted to fly it around the student area to see if I can see female students getting undressed (like in Bluethunder).
