I actually thought this article was pretty informative. Didn’t think that there were drones of this size since the ones that I’ve seen were bigger and with cameras. Thanks for the review and comparison. Actually might buy one just to fly with it, even if its the fly time isn’t too long.

i didn’t know there were drones that cheap! I like that this drone is very small and only has two speeds. I think my sons would like this drone to play and I can get two so they will not fight over the drones!

The variety and ingenuity of the smaller drones is really impressive. I don’t see why you can’t just as much satisfaction flying these inexpensive options as the more expensive ones.
