Drones

[morg176]

Does anyone here have any experience with the new selfie/4k drones that are out now or soon to be released?

I remember some people pent ridiculous amounts of money on remote control cars, and then model planes yet these seem like a magnitude higher again. Not sure what I would do with one other than a flying camera but they do look cool

Both the mavic and karma look really cool and have piqued my interest... But either way, they are big investments. Then again, look what we spend on bots

Just out of curiosity, what would you use your drone for? You cant fly them over residendial areas without complaints, nature photography.
It would be cool to have one. But what would you do with it

Bought a drone: kingkong tiny6
Its small (fits in your hand)
Its a proper rc drone, not a 'kids toy' drone
Got drone+batteries and charger, +goggles and radio controller taranis qx7

Havent flown for a while

Still a total nube at droning

I’ve got a Tello. It’s a cool little drone that is a good intro to the hobby. We’ve got a Mavic Air at work that I use occasionally. I am thinking about buying one for myself because they are awesome. I’ve been keeping an eye out for a 15%+ sale on eBay but no luck yet and DJI are apparently announcing the Mavic Pro 2 on Friday so I’ll wait and see what that’s like. If it’s worth it, I’ll pick up one of those. Otherwise, the Mavic Pro 1 and Air prices should drop significantly so I’ll get a bargain that way.

I feel like I'm a drone as I make my way to work some days. Is that the same ?
