DRONE







This is the first drone that I have played with. I found out that I should never try to fly a drone for a living, but man it's fun. I did this in an area that had power wires and lots of trees so I was uneasy to really let it fly. I need to find a nice open spot to fly it. When you receive this drone you will need to attach the blade guards, landing feet, and the camera. It is very simple to install them. It comes with the screws and the tiny screwdriver to install the parts. It also comes with the charger and a 4 gig memory card. There were extra propellers that came in the box along with a mini sd card reader. The reader is mini SD to USB. I have never had one of those before, so I was pretty excited that I would be able to use that to transfer the pics or video to my computer with out any issues.

I will say this bad boy will shoot up in the air fairly quickly. I think that's one of the things that got me worried because this thing would move super fast. Well faster than the helicopter my son had that I used to play with. The SD card is easy to install into the camera  and when your done you just put it into the reader. The lights on this thing can be seen for quite a distance. I can't say how far because I never got it far enough that I could not see the drone. The thing that really surprised me was how well this thing will hold up to crash landings. There was one time I was trying to bring it down and I did by crashing it. It fell at least 10 plus feet onto the road. It even landed top down. The blade guards protected the blades. To my surprise this thing still worked like nothing happened. The only downfall I see to this and there is really nothing that you can do to fix it is, if there tall grass when you crash it, the tall grass will get wrapped around the blades and prevent you from taking back off, we had to un stick it several times the first time I flew it. My son love this. I think I am going to gift it to him because from my video you can see that I spent more time on the ground than up in the air and that is because it would shoot up and I would get scared and bring it right back to the ground.  If you are interested in getting a drone like this one just clickhere .
