This would be an incredible

They are amazing how fast, high, and how far they will go...like out of sight, so they use monitors. If they get too far out, the GPS takes over and it flies back to starting point and lands.

Will just described the model I want!!!

I just want a bozo Drone with video so I can see.. I will work into better later.

OK I have found the start point for this. If you have a smart phone you have the controls. It has a short flight life, camera and propellers can be bought. When I have a moment it is on my to get list.

What are your thoughts?

For that much money plus what you would have to drop on the camera and other stuff I would rather get a dedicated one like this.

The one I am currently looking at is

http://www.banggood.com/WLtoys-V393A...-p-970234.html

Has the dedicated video and screen, 300m distance, long life brushless motors and upwards of 12 min air time.


And ignore the name of the website. No idea why the heck its called that but its not porn I swear.

Looks to be the better of anything I have found.

Oddly amazon isn't the cheapest source for drones. I wonder why.....

[Gunfixr]

I have a good friend who has a few of these. Hes getting into the video bhsiness, doing air videos for companies, tv, etc.
First, good enough ones to do anything reliable are quite expensive.
Second, they are much more difficult to fly well than they appear. He has spent quite a bit of time on it, at least a year in his off time and weekends, and is still practicing.
Third, the cheap ones are much more limited by outside factors. Like wind. Only his most expensive one, which he still rarely takes up as he doesnt yet feel that comfortable, will buck even a 20mph wind. And there is more wind higher up than we feel on the ground.
Fourth, there are a lot of regulations on these, and its changing constantly.
Fwiw, he actually built his.

man i would as nervous as a coon dog passing peach pits trying to fly it! that video was neat. other things to spend my money on.

Drones are cool. I'm trying to get my nephew to buy the one he has been looking at, its about $1000 to start. I'm think we should get in now before there are too many restrictions. These things are now everywhere. Out here on the left coast out Borate bombers fighting fires have been called off numerous times due to drones being in their AO. The legislature is looking at allowing fire and law to take them out with no liability, they are getting that prevalent.
