@dave@awilkey Just now looked at the Quick Start Guide Video in meh’s specs and it’s for the Propel Atom 1.0, which turns out to be what I linked above.
Just like the last time I will suggest that this is the best use for these:
(I tried it with the last one I got from Meh, but that one has a little camera on it, which made it a little too heavy for a regular-size paper airplane. These might work better, if you like that sort of thing? Which I do?)
@therealjrn And I just talked myself into buying a set. Shit. At least now I can use them outdoors because who cares if one or two wind up on the roof, am I right?
These are not the drones you are looking for.
You can’t get a tee
You can’t get a tee without a mark
This Meh’s for thee
Even if we’re flying dr0n3s 1n th3 d4rk…
This also looks comparable.
@ThunderChicken Ah this one does look close. Most I found (like the above) had two blades on each…propeller, but this one does have three.
@ThunderChicken Yes, that looks closer, including channel-swap and extra propellers.

@ThunderChicken And that one charges three bucks extra if you want it in blue.
animated-aromatic-cellar :
So this likely falls into the “Charge for 2 hours, fly for 4 minutes, charge for 2 hours…” category.
I already have four very similar on a shelf.
Pass.
@rprussell But with this set, you can switch birds every four minutes - and sixteen minutes will probably exceed my interest span.

@blandoon Cool but that guy is pretty close to those power lines.
And with a single click I’ve got presents for the next four birthday parties my first grader gets invited to! Woohoo!
@DonWhiteside Only 1 controller for each set of 4 drones.

What’s in the box:
I wonder what’s really in the box?
@therealjrn And I just talked myself into buying a set. Shit. At least now I can use them outdoors because who cares if one or two wind up on the roof, am I right?
@sammydog01 No, I read it carelessly.
My bad.
@DonWhiteside GREAT IDEA!!!
@therealjrn You looked at the pictures. The pictures lied. And I just cancelled my order. Shit.
@sammydog01 Shit. Reorder them then. WTF are you doing, listening to me???
@sammydog01 @therealjrn Damn, this was a really roller coaster ride.
Extremely similar model, different branding
These will be fun for the crew at work …

good job, giphy!
they’ll be good for my Toys for Tots collection next Xmas
Hasn’t interest in these died out yet, like with fidget spinners?
@Kerig3 never
@Kerig3 no, but it will be awesome when Meh sells these for $1 a dozen too.
POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!
@Kerig3
@Kerig3 So you are saying they should sell fidget spinner drones next?
@Kerig3 @yakkoTDI Or make drone propellers from unsold fidget spinners.
@DoctorOW I can get the same effect from summertime mosquitos in my back yard… for free too!
Now this one just makes me mad…

@cfg83 Her: “Put that in my hand if you don’t mind!”
“Since they’re 2.4GHZ, you can fly all four at once without worrying about interference.”
LOL. Really? With so many other things on the 2.4 GHz band, I’d have thought the opposite would be true.
Thanks for clearing that up! (?)
@richrauch I had the same reaction.
@richrauch it’s spread-spectrum frequency-hopping. Thank Heddy Lamarr.

Any insight as to the flying quality of these little guys?
@dunda They’re cheap micro drones. You get what you pay for
