How Good is an $80 Drone?

2016-03-04
hey guys what's going on I work here once again TECA tomorrow you guys if you happen to see it we had got the drone in before we really didn't know what the frakkin heck we were doing with the thing and we actually had one of the propellers on the wrong way so we could never get the thing to take off uh yeah it was a kind of a floppy day so we had the video as a drone failed but thanks to all you guys all your comments we figured out what was going on with your call your comments about setting up the ground putting the controllers they're changing repellers for the right way we listen to it all and so we headed back to the park let's see what happens on day two so once again we headed over the park now this time we had a complete success you guys can see I was able to get the drone off the ground and fly around the part successfully many times without a problem we even have some footage from the onboard cabinets you guys can see that shows me flying around and crashing ah we really had a lot of fun this day because obviously we got the drone to fly it did take a few tries before I was able to do it perfectly and get it to go all the way away from me and all the way back but I after a few tries I actually was able to do that I was able to take the drone all the way to the end of bill Blevins Park all the way across the side bring it down and then actually land the drone pretty much right in front of me and it was so much fun we found a couple kids in the park this is Joshua and Ty and these guys begged and begged they're like man please let us fly the drone dude and so after they fetch the drone for us for a little while I was cool enough to give those guys each their own few tries doing it and here you guys can see them fly the drone around the park they really had a great time and it does prove that even a twelve-year-old child can pick up this thing and start flying the control unit although it's not the absolute best controller in the world because obviously the drones about 149 dollars it still works perfectly well now a few things I got to say about our day in the parking today though is that with some of these crashes came destruction now the first thing that I broke was the onboard camera I had a crazy experience where I crashed into a tree we also had a few crazy accidents where the thing was just way high up in the sky we cut off the controls and it fell straight to the ground almost breaking the legs and after many many crashes I'd say we had about nine or ten crashes the unit had a slight bit of damage but we were able to actually come home and fix that damage and keep the drone going all right folks so obviously day one for us was a complete fail and there's a probably reason for that you know this is an old saying called RTFM you guys know what takes that mean it means read the frakkin manual and after looking around and we start digging in deeper okay we actually found out okay though we did have the propeller on upside-down but that was pretty much the only thing we did wrong we just never really seen this thing before and thought it just should be a simple thing of just throwing them on there and going to the park okay obviously it does take a little bit more thinking than that so I retract my last comments about it not being cool for kids and stuff because obviously as you guys can see it's totally cool for kids now the only thing you got to watch out for is this thing really does go high in the damn sky mean we were honestly frickin shocked at house you know high up in the sky one of the final things as Jesus had a thing way up in the sky and they were going to do a barrel roll do a barrel roll and he does him the controller but then he turned it back on it it actually flew straight at high volume to the ground yeah but hey we fixed it it it's still going so honestly I can say for the price that this is it's less than 140 bucks it's pretty damn durable it stood up to me and my antics stood up to Jesus and his antics it also stood up to both the kids Joshua and I both dropped the thing in the ground and it's still up and going so I do retract my previous statements and I think that for the price for an entry-level drone this thing's pretty cool I mean obviously maybe the camera should be a little bit more durable but come on you can pay it more than 140 bucks for any camera so for 140 bucks and lower for a drone that has a camera I guess the lesson is just to be a little more damn careful but that comes at raining like you do all the information we'll have links to this and I really people that provide this was a company called a band good so we'll have a link to that down below so if you guys want to check one of these out I gotta say they're a hell of a lot of fun once you know what the hell you're doing see ya
