New toy brag thread

[John Connor]

Not sure if there is a thread like this and never seen one since I've been a member here.

Bought a quadcopter UAV. I was impressed with a guy who had one and had a video of a hawk attacking it on YouTube. So I bought this for around $80 and has a camera. Just want to get my feet wet in UAVs before I buy the $400 model.

 

[RelaxTheMind]

looks pretty sweet. was looking into getting one myself.

 

[John Connor]

Haven't even flown today, and SHIT! Just remembered I forgotten the AA battries for the remote when I was just at the store. LOL!

Here's a video a guy made of this UAV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx7ZCA2PvIU

Now to mount a camera on it right?






And then find some nude sunbathers....

 

[John Connor]

It has a built in camera. No nude beaches here though.

That looks like a lot of fun.

Cool, looks like fun, I just saw one on Ebay for $63, shipped. Also noted this model from the same mfgr, it includes a protective "cage" but does not come with a camera, about the same price, model #UDI U828

7 minutes flight time, and <100' xmit distance. Fun toy for awhile, but I think it would get boring due to the limitations.

A neighbor has a Phantom 2 with a camera, I wanted one bad when I saw him playing with it. Then I found out the $1,500 price tag. Maybe I'll look into the 1 OP got lol.

It doesn't transmit live vido, however it takes still pictures or video stored on a micro SD card activated by the remote control. It came with a USB adapter so I can download the pictures or video.

There's two versions of this quadchopper. You want the U818A as that has the camera.

Crap! I payed $20 more on eBay!

I seen some from China on ebay go dirt cheap too, but I liked this one due to the guards.

Sorry to hear that. I'll have fun for you.

 

[Thebobo]

yea but does it thermal?!

 

[rh71]

This is how it begins. Skynet gets built. Don't tell us we didn't warn you. You're gonna have to deal with it on your own.

 

[John Connor]

This is how we destroy Skynet. By testing and harnessing Skynet's abilities for our own. LOL! Use their tech against themselves.
