I was in Best Buy today and ran across one. $499. Every since then I've been researching on which is the best to buy. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience and what do you have?

I can check with my neighbor, he has a few. I almost shot one out of the sky one night. He was watching me aim the shot gun and he got it out of the area.

He was looking for gluten free baked products. Why you so mean.

I have drones at the shop some days, they meander around getting nothing done but don't forget to punch in and out.

The Parrot brand you show is popular.For the last 6 months I have been learning to fly on a UDI U818A from Amazon,$65,. It is a good one to learn on before you spend the big bucks.

Will look into that one. I've read this and found it informative. What I don't like about the Parrot I posted is it only can be used with your cell phone.

I have two - one is a Hubsan which got wounded when I flew it in the house and the dogs attacked it. They killed the mother board and I have not taken the time to rebuild it. I found it difficult to get it trimmed. The other one I have is a "kids" version and it is pretty easy to fly just not great battery life. I will say though it will fly further than you can see and it is cool and fun.

I predict that I will have a more professional unit with a longer flight time in the future.

I think the drones are cool!

The Hubspan is a big seller also. My UDI has a camera and will go about 300 FT up or out, a lot of fun. The DJI Phantom is one to look into after you get some experience.

I really want a DJI.

The Blades have also gotten good reviews.

I may try this out then go for a larger unit.

Yes if I see one watching me it will be SHOT down I don't give a dam what it cost! No one has any business spying on me!

After about 2 weeks of flying I love it. If you are going to fly it in the house I'd buy the guard and plenty of extra propellers if not
