Drones

[juiceweezl]

My kid wants a drone copter deal for Christmas. He's 9, and I'd like to be $150 or less. We have plenty of open space to fly as there are 2 large soccer fields, a park, and 2 large tee ball fields just down the road from our house. I'm sure he'd like a camera on it, but nothing HD required. I'm sure some of you are drone gurus, so any suggestions? TIA

They have some really cool micro drones and mini drones that are supposed to work pretty well on amazon for anywhere from $40 and up.

Thinking of getting this for my nephew.

Check out the video under the product information tab. Cool stuff. Might get one for myself.

These guys love drones and E-planes

I know this is a little late but best buy is clearing our the 3DR Solo for $299. Double your price but this used to be an over $1k drone. Needs gopro separately too. Even though they're getting out of the consumer drone business it might be something to look into.

If you want a durable basic flyer for under 150, try la traxxs alias. It's made by Traxxas and I've owned a few that are very very tough. Just the occasional motor swap.

Late the thread, but ive owned 4 drones now. The only way to go is the ones with GPS. Any of the cheaper lower ones are going to be a waste of your money. They dont hover right and the wind around here will take it and be gone. Stick with DJI, spend a little more money and get something that will last and come back after flying.
