A R Drone

Does anyone own one of these or know anyone that does. I am thinking about getting one but looking for some personal experiences.

That's pretty cool.

This arrived on my doorstep Wednesday. Been having fun learning to fly it.

Nice, the drone they say is very easy to fly. The reason it's only $300 is because you download the app on your smart phone and use that to control it. The good part of that is you'll get constant updates.

That's going on my Christmas list.

A nearby winery had some flyover videos done for their website. I think it was filmed with one of those drones.

Dear Lord, I'm not even showing this to Mike, he will put it on his Christmas list! he already has a plane and a helicopter. He was flying the helicopter in the house, lol, but Jesse felt that it was for her and would attack it everytime he tried to land.

Mike, did I tell you about my neighbor and her pool. Just kidding

Julie, they have a special styrafoam gaurd for flying it in the air. So far the downside is the 5 minute fly time vs 90 minute charge. A 20 minute battery and charger can be purchased on Amazon. OH yeah, if you get a discount at Verizon through your company for equipment it applies for this. Thats 25% off for me.

Honestly I'm thinking ariel photo's of vineyards, wineries, the lake, the neighbors window, etc.

We had one of those small heli's and were flying it in the house and our Rott chased it and stomped on it!!! LOL It lasted about 20 minutes total. Had to go buy my son another!
