Spotted on San Francisco's BART


I just checked and apparently you can buy it on Amazon for $299.99, here:

  1. There's been some amazing videography done with them. Check out the following video from youtube "Surfers at Steamer Lane, Santa Cruz (aerial)"

  2. Yeah, Verizon stores sell them. The one I went to was in a mall and they were flying it inside the mall. You can control them with your phone.

  3. How much you want to bet that Mr. green Nikes is a typical SF millennial gamer type, who supports all kinds of incursions on private property. But if you snatched his new game and ran off, or even merely insisted he "share" it for 40% of the day, he would have a meltdown...

  4. This is more of a toy than it is a functioning drone. It has backyard capabilities at best. If you ever see this flying around near you property there's no need to panic. However, there are more advanced drones out there that have GPS, auto-pilot and telemetry mapping capabilities that have to custom assembled. Those can be in the thousands and can't be purchased at Brookstone.
