So the dog was growling yesterday

And looking out the front window. I go and have a look and there is a damned "Drone" out there hovering looking in the window!! My neighbors kid got one for Xmas and he was just busting with laughter. I found that awesome. These kids have great stuff. Now I want one too.....

Like any other toy,the novelty will wear off in another week or two and it'll stay in the closet not seeing daylight.....ever.LOL My grandson has one that lasted a month,tops. It was relegated to the toy museum until my daughter started to use it to survey properties that she was listing. It worked perfectly for that.

This one is pretty small I doubt it even has a camera.

They can be pretty small and still have a camera. They are fun to fly but you really have to find the right place, the right weather etc. Here is a video of a small one, looks a bit bigger than the one I got. I took a couple batteries just getting it setup right and centred and getting the stability and directions figured out. Extra batteries and extra blades are a must!

I like this one better.

I use mine most of the winter.
In fact, just updated all the firmware and software this afternoon, ran in the motors and flew some scenarios on the sim to see how it would react in the real world.

May scout around a little bit tomorrow.

edit.... dogs have caught a few drones in the past. lol
Awesome video of the inside of a dog's mouth too.

My Bother in law bought one for all the brother in-laws (x4) for Xmas. He bought it at Canadian Tire for about 16 bucks. I can't believe how awesome they are and fun. If that is what they can make for 16 bucks, I can only imagine how sophisticated the ones that are millions of dollars are..................?

Nosey, it wasn't mine, likely a you tube of a dog catching a drone.

Terry, I fly mine down the lake over the huts to see who's out and about that day.
Won't be much fishing this year, they banned that too.
