Holy shit corky! That's fukin intense! Actually scary!
I would suggest for a first quad,to get something like the Syma X5C-1 for like $50 to begin with.Those $7-8-900 copters get expensive to fix when you bust them up.
Start with the Syma until you have some experience,then go for the more expensive models.

Good advice slim.it would suck to buy an expensive drone only to crash it! Lol I would get my feet wet with something cheap first and then upgrade.dam it!! Now corky made me wanna buy a drone of mass destruction!
me neither. i can't WAIT to shoot down my first one...
Only because airplanes were flying over my house did I even see the drone. Due to a storm that day my house was directly under the incoming airport flight path. While looking up at a plane flying overhead a drone flew over also. It made no noise and was at an altitude of a couple hundred feet. I made a beeline for the gun to get locked and loaded but by the time I got back it was gone.
In light of this airspace intrusion over my house I have started an R&D mission to thwart these violations of my privacy. I call it iDART. Incoming Drone Alerting Radar Technology. Once iDART is fully developed and implemented any drones flying within its range will be monitored and tracked for possible interdiction. If iDART determines the UFD(Unidentified Flying Drone) is violating my airspace, a fleet of attack drones will remove the threat. Now I just need some engineers, computer scientists, technicians, investors, and lawyers and I can get started.
Someone did fly a drone over my house that day and I have no idea who the pilot was. Could have been a neighbor, photographer or LEO. It's bad enough google has satellites looking in my backyard. I surely don't want real time video being broadcast of my property. A little respect for peoples privacy isn't asking a whole lot.
Time to get a slingshot.
maybe a couple sinkers attached to each other with a piece string, about a foot long would be good ammo
Yes but you can get extra batteries for ~4$ each.
had one flying over me fishing today a dji phantom....someone is spying and trying to figure out my secrets lol...yeehaw...
Those are good ones..
Those are good ones..
Unless they fly away, as happened to a friend of mine.
Another fried has one with 4K video.

Yes but, can you change them in mid-air...............
Depends how much patience u have. Where theres a will, theres a way.
Having spent over a decade immersed in RC and most recently w drones. My advice is build one. For similar money. You can have a Wicked powerful craft capable of running multiple battaries. And you're not stuck within the parameters of the off the shelf models.
Even just installing the prop guards and battery on mine has taught me is patience dealing with small stuff. Fixing small and delicate stuff has always really annoyed me. This wasnt really an option with the quadcopter because it seems so fragile.
However, unless someone really wants to get into it. The x5c-1 is literally $42-46 bucks on amazon. For the cost everyone that has ever enjoyed any sort of remote control devices should own one. This requires no research or learning really, aside from flying it.
I cant believe how much enjoyment I am getting from flying this. I think as it takes so much concentration to learn, it's like meditating in that the mind has a hard time thinking about other stuff at the same time. Or maybe I am just enjoying it a ton.

He has a great website ... if you're a pyromaniac.
That one video is a quad drone with a camo paint job semi auto ... I think.
