Does anyone own a drone?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Do you mean like a quadcopter? “drones” used to be anything semi-autonomous, but it’s the most common name for quadcopters now too I think they’re getting pretty good at this point, but the range of prices is huge, so that’s the big question. I got one of these for my dad. It’s under $50, a lot of fun, and is kind of in between a toy and serious bidness. I’m amazed how well it flies and corrects, but really it’s just for flying around, and the price reflects that. They make one with a camera, but the video quality is so low I didn’t go for that. A guy at the office space I work at has 3 or 4 he’s always flying. I asked him which he liked best and he says the Phantom 2 is the way to go if you’re getting some video (or I guess photos). That thing looks more like a tool than a toy. It’s like a piece of medical equipment from the future, with wings. I haven’t flown/controlled it but it’s impressive.
