I got these in the random drone offering a few weeks back. Would not recommend–they’re pretty difficult to keep from crashing, at which point the propellers bend and cause the drone to list in one direction or another–thus perpetuating a vicious cycle.
Their only redeeming quality is the cathartic experience you get after intentionally flying the fucking things into a wood chipper when they finally drive you insane.
@dvermilion agreed. fun on liftoff… but 2 seconds later the little guy is done. and then number 2… done. and then number 3… done.
and then number 4… and that’s it. sorry, boys: terrible-dumpster-filling-crapola
@PooltoyWolf imho this shouldn’t be the item to which one should lose. randomly buy anything after this point and you’ll probably be better off. these weren’t even good for messing with my cat.
i bought a dozen to give away at my apartment. box arrived and i unpacked them all. printed out a note saying “share with your neighbors, please only take one”. took them out to the main lobby and set them out. it’s not a heavily trafficked area - most people come in through one of the side entrances. took the elevator down one floor to recycle the boxes. came back up (literally about 1 minute) and 3 of them were already gone. walked down the hall to my apartment, sent off a couple emails, grabbed the bags of trash and walked down to the main lobby to put them down the trash chute. all of them, and the note, were gone.
even during these times, fucking greedy assholes are still fucking greedy assholes.

oh yeah, i have 6 already - like i need more of these …
@stolicat ME TOO! Now I have 10 or so.
@sammydog01 DAMMIT SAMMY! NO!
@willdavi I just cancelled- someone down there just said I would break them. And fly them into a wood chipper. Or something like that.
@sammydog01 lol. You’ve got 6 anyways. And I’m sure you’ve bought a wood chipper. See what happens.
No. I have too many already.
Buzz!!!
Fuck yeah!! Stocking stuffers!!!

exactly what I said
@somf69 It’s what I’m stocking some stuffing’s with no I made that’s what I’m stuffing some stockings with
Why the hell did I just buy those?
Maybe with four of them, I’ll be able to get good enough at flying them to terrorize the dogs.
Tempting… But as good as a deal as this sounds when a furlough may be around the corner… I may need to hold onto that $10.
I can eat a drone unless I fully become a robot (and start to fail the captcha)
@OnionSoup wise choice. few things drive me to a state of pic related, but these little shits managed it.

Darn, they finally got me, I made it almost all the way through!

@PooltoyWolf That’s an…interesting image.
@dvermilion I figure I can pawn them off for $10 each if I don’t like them as much as I like my CX-10s.
@PooltoyWolf You might want to keep social distancing between these and the inflatables
@mehcuda67 You’d be surprised how much they can handle! Someone accidentally bumped Fen with a Phantom 4 once…only a small scratch
Breaking news!!! Corona Virus cure! Ground up micro drones!!! Shelves are clearing!!!

Yes.
But then no.
Cancel.
Feel better now.
Mine seem to be flying just fine, I’m not sure what issues others seem to have had with them! Certainly worth $2.50 apiece!
