How bad can this be? Especially at £30?

Go undercover and stealth your way to amazing views

Is it just me or are they suggesting you do anti-social / illegal stuff with it ? Filming the neighbours ?

Link says £60 btw

Yeah, but it’s available at £30

It has a stunt button!!!1! Winning

You seem to have one too!

Oh, sorry misread that

Looks like a copy of a Syma X5C (but a rather strange controller).

You can get a genuine Syma for about £30 off Amazon or Ebay etc. It is fun to play with, easy to fly, and will survive a few crashes. Though the camera is rather poor.

One thing to check is can you get spare batteries. Probably only 5 minutes battery life, so handy to have a few spares.

So, these cheap drones? When the battery packs up after 5 minutes I assume it crashes into your neighbour’s garden who will then retrieve the memory card, check out the photos you’ve been taking of his wife/daughter/nan/whatever, then pop round to have a chat.

Is it just me

on almost every issue the answer is yes its just you
HTH 😉

The title says more about those who shop there than the product.

Tell me more, bikebuoy

I think he’s more of a Netto man.

Netto? Classy.

It’s all about Poundland these days.

Looks like a re-badged Syma x5 , can be had at most places for around £40 .. cracking little starter drone

Just ordered a Hubsan Q4, sixteen quids worth of rotary fun.

Might need a new pair of specs to find the bloody thing, they’re teeny.

So you’re saying that everyone that shops in tesco is a drone, why’s that then?

Where do you shop and why does it make you better?

Runs on 5xAA batteries! 😯 Nope. Wouldn’t touch that when a Proper Syma X5C-1 is currently £32 from BangGood.

How do you get it for £30? My father may enjoy it for Christmas!

Runs on 5xAA batteries

Possible to replace with 2S 7.4v Lipo for greater runtime.

Or… just buy the Syma which is the same price, and a recognised brand with readily available spares, proper rechargeable batteries and a decent controller.

It’s in store for £30. But maybe only some places

I might save up for one of these at xmas, the skies will be full around here…
