Drones are awesome. Everyone loves (or hates) drones these days. They also love to talk about how they're not called drones, but "quadcopters". OK . I wish I had one of these little tiny cheap guys before I started flying my Phantom. Everyone should learn to fly a drone.
Only !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for one of these bad boys. I think I found out about it from Kinja deals!

It's really tiny. Like unbelievably small. I can't wait to go home and fly it all over the place, again. It does't have much payload capacity, or any at all. But some enterprising soul could probably find a way to deliver small things across the room.

Did you have the "Phantom Quadcopter Flying-Off-For-No-Reason" problem too?
Sweet BMW F1 flag BTW.

Nope, I have not had that issue at all with my Phantom, it's just expensive is all. I've crashed it a few times but nothing serious. These little micro drones are just really great for learning the inputs necessary to fly one of these.

I know, I really like that micro quadcopter. I've been thinking about getting a Phantom but have heard horror stories of them just flying off for no reason. Glad to know it's not everybody.

I've heard that avoiding big power lines and other highly electrical things is helpful. I usually fly upstate so little worry of that.

Tempting, I know of certain colleague with items I could knock over from afar with this...
