The Drone Thread

Recommended Posts

over Christmas I walked into JB Hi-Fi,

and bought a Drone for $70 in the boxing day sale.

 

about what you could expect. 6 min runtime, crappy webcam like camera that is more moving images then video.
but was a ton of fun. already looking at throwing some floats on it and using it at the river.

but got me hooked, looking at the DJI's but cant justify the money yet. (big step up in price, sort of goes $100 toy, $500 entry level, $1500 enthusiast level)

Yes ! .

They are privey , but great fun , even on that super ' cheap ' level .

I tried ' helicopters ' but after wreaking three , I think the drones work better .

The biggest problem is finding a " legal " area to practice & see if you can afford a ' electric aircraft club membership .

Locally we have a ' club ' field that is empty 6 days a week .

But

Of course the council does not want the none-paying public to use it , when empty.
