Is the price reasonable when I could probably make my own prop balancer?

Joe, I really don't remember what I paid for my balancer, I think it was 19.95. I can tell you it's so precise that I wouldn't want to take the time to try and make my own. I've gone thru all my toys and balanced everything that has a blade, it's well worth the money.

A homemade balancer would never be as precise as the Du-Bro, or capable of balancing a large prop.

I wouldn't want to spend the time making my own especially when this one works so good and is so cheap.

Probably not realistic. Between the added weight and added expense and time, you'd be better off just purchasing a second one.

Agreed! Widex sells these to our office for $5/pkg. You should be able to go to any local dispenser that sells Widex (most do) and they'll be happy to sell them to you at cost and install them for you.

I would recommend that you get 5 of the 500mah batteries (which will allow much more flight time), the 5 in 1 balance charger and maybe some spare props to keep it flying well in case of crashes (which happens while you are learning). Buying this unit will get you the prop wrench, prop guard and one extra set of props.

If you think this is expensive it may be time to pick a different hobby. this is a great little quad with a camera!. build that yourself cheaper and I'd be interested in how you made that happen. get real people.

If you are 100% sure you can build one without problems, then go for it if you are doing it for fun. I considered building mine, but their price point is too good for me to pass up on. Consider that you assume the risk on your build - I've know good builders that mess up, break a pin, fry a board, etc.You can do it 'somewhat' cheaper, but it comes down to the value of your time and the risk of a mistake.

You probably want to opt for not buying Chinese crap at $2 per piece, which, I admit, Amazon and eBay are full of. If you cant' splurge for the real Beauty Blender, this lot is a good US-sold substitute.

I doubt it, and you would probably pay twice as much in shipping. It does not take a rocket scientist to assemble.

Email the company's customer support. Support@skyrockettoys.com. the arms are called booms and were quoted to me at $2 each. The props are $1 for a set.

Great question, but no friggin' idea.My gut tells me that you'd be better served with an appropriate supply, as improvising on an Eventide could cause serious regret if things go bad...that's a pretty special circuit. This thing is ok, but by no means 'high' end.

No, thanks. I do not see how that would be feasible. However, the seller might sell individual parts.

It is always a good idea to balance props before installation. Yes they are balanced out of the bag.

Yes but you will most likely want to use your own. See my previous posts on this item.

You'll have to ask seller. They want to know if its compatible with your system set up and has no balance.

Yes If You Can Get It For Under 200.00 + Free Shipping That Would Be A Fair Deal.

There is an error with the price, it is sturdy and works well for organizing in my RV. But, would build it myself if that is the price :)
