The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIII

Masterbeatty

I have to cut one from last week but the flight from today i forgot my SD card at home plus it was really to test out the new video transmitter. So far the extra weight from the transmitter and extra battery didn't effect the flight time. But the crap Im putting on soon will probably take it down to 15 mins or so with the extra 400 grams.

over the weekend checked out the local Fry's electronic store near bye

They have some very serious flying drones for sale

Neat video demo flights but very expensive and even locked up in glass cases

So far the tally is just shy of $700 but very capable and FUN! But a comparable unit is well over $1k. I bet in a year after the new rules come out in june they will be well under $800 for a good one. DJI and 3DR are the two companies that have the best reviews and best quality.

Also the racing drones are around $200 if you build them and they fly up to 60-80 mph.

Not bad at $700 from the videos that you posted your skill level is really good

The drone models for sale at Fry's all were over the 1000 mark for a good
quality one.

Surprised how many people are still buying drones and also how the performance and quality of flight's keep improving

Mid July or August for me
