    Does this drone seem too good to be true?

    Roger that and of course I would have my 107 license there is no problem there.

    Does this drone seem too good to be true?

    That is quiet problematic since at the moment I only have access to these bottom of the barrel drones. I am actually not sure what to do. There is no way I can get even a Mavic Air any time soon. I have to explore my options now.

    Does this drone seem too good to be true?

    The one I am looking at is about 160$ and I believe is just called the Parrot Bebop 1. I am just really looking for a drone to take video/pictures of roofs. So all my drone has to do is be able to take video and be able to fly around taking photos of a roof. That is my goal for the time being...

    Does this drone seem too good to be true?

    I realize this but literally anything in that prince range is going to be a huge upgrade over my current 30$ drone. I am considering getting a parrot bebop instead. I've heard pretty much anything under 250$ is toy grade territory.

    Storm chasers capture tornado on a drone

    I think this is some awesome drone footage. Hopefully I will be able to do this one day.

    Does this drone seem too good to be true?

    I really hope this is in the right section but I came across a sjrc s20w GPS drone with a moveable 1080p camera at the bottom. I saw a video for it and at 116$ dollars this almost seems too good to be true. The controller looks great and it holds your phone so you can get a first person view...

    Hello from Nevada! First time drone pilot.

    Thanks for the information. I will have to see if Boulder City would be a good place to practice. There is a dry lake over there but I will find out where those no fly zones are located first though.

    Putting counter weight on my 30 dollar drone.

    @moddiback Thanks, I am going to try and replace the batteries in my controller to see if that works. I did use it a lot this week. If that doesn't work I will try to reset the trim settings. Crossing my fingers. I understand it is a very cheap drone but in this state it is just unusable.

    Putting counter weight on my 30 dollar drone.

    I have a big problem with my cheap drone, it drifts to the left. Hovering is impossible, forward is possible but you will fly to the left, backwards is barely controllable. This is the front side view of it. The right side is marked in red. I am thinking of putting some kind of weight on the...

    Hello from Nevada! First time drone pilot.

    Hello everyone! I am so excited to be here. I just very recently got into drones after figuring out that I couldn't afford to be a pilot of an actual airplane lol. I am starting out with a 30 dollar toy drone before I move on to the more expensive models. I imagine it like driving in a quad and...
