Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I was in a Fry's store last night and saw "The World's Smallest Drone" at only 6 inches across, with blads less than an inch diameter...looked like alot of fun for 40 bucks. If I didn't live in a 33' sailboat docked in the windiest part of the bay, i would have kicked down for it. I can let 2ea. 20 dollar bills fly away in the wind anytime however without dealing with the packaging and disposing of a remote. Your toy looks like it might handle a crosswind a bit better. Have fun! Link to post Share on other sites
MyPC8MyBrain 273 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 that’s the Hubson X4, you can see him right under the Phantom for proportioni played with that little bugger for few weeks; fun toy; but that’s all it isfunny you mentioned cross winds; it actually can stand in front of my AC blowing full force and hold for few secondsthan the vortex changes and it will get tossed around; but still heck of fun to play indoors **cough** just found the website, maybe xmas 2016!!! lol, i have a good excuse for that , here's the site for the manufacture: http://www.dji.com/and here the model i got; The Phantom 2: http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-2 The Phantom 2 is an open platform where i can fit any GoPro or other cams the other models Vision and Vision + come with built in cam and cannot be swapped Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,489 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Wow, the Phantom 2 looks like a monster compared to the X4. At least you can hone your flying skills first without putting any AV gear in jeopardy! Jealous? Me? of course!!! Have fun mate. Link to post Share on other sites
MyPC8MyBrain 273 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks Joe; my thoughts exactly first flight report im in the hills its hot with high gusts today i first got her off the ground in a small test area; went ok few alt tests; back and forth gust withstanding test all went ok shaking my pants my house is on a mountain slope, with huge drop pass my balcony and nothing other than trees below i flown her beyond my balcony and kept her there for few minutes back and forth making each forth longer and loner than she went up, high to where it was a point to me; at that point i brought her back landed it so softly; it was a joy first flight was a complete success she is so powerful and steady; serious gusts didn't nudge her slightly Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,489 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Bravo! I share your nervousness even just reading your account of the first tentative flight, well done! Link to post Share on other sites
MyPC8MyBrain 273 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks Joe you have no idea how nervous i was taking her off the ledge; i was sure she will dip into the valley below followed by me frantically trying to get her back up but changing position to over the ledge when she was AGE didn't change her attitude one bit (the Hubson was all over the place in and out of IGE with those tiny props) i've recharged now and im off to the park Link to post Share on other sites
