Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I have been wanting a quadcopter with a camera but have not quite been able to pull the trigger on my dream drone, a DJI Phantom 2 plus with 3 axis gimbal (about $1000).
I decided to try one of these ultra cheap quads from China (do we really need to put "from China" nowadays or is it just implied?)
$49 shipped. I figure if I flew it in the river in our backyard the loss would not be so painful as the Phantom.
I am pretty impressed with what you get for $49. Ok, the video is shaky and poor, but you can definitely see the river and some of mountains in the distance. I was afraid to fly very high on this first flight but it gives you a taste.
edit: turn off your sound. The electric quad is whisper quiet but the microphone makes it sound 1000x louder.
