Anyone into Quads?

[fitz19d]

And no not a paraplegic fetish. Nor ATV's. Worked a hospital seen too many of those injuries. Nope I meant RC ones. Thinking it might be something fun to get into. Aside from the cheap $20-$100 hobby store ones, appears besides the commercial world, theres actually a growing field of small - medium sized drones for racing and otherwise more performance entertainment. The biggest thing that interests me is the growing use of first person camera on the vehicles paired with goggles rather than a handset screen.

Going to start small with a $40 Hubsan x4, and if interest sticks, theres a company that makes a seemingly decent ready to fly FPV racer that you just need receiver and googles? For $500, so I imagine a grand when all said and done. http://www.immersionrc.com/fpv-produ...x-racing-quad/

I've got a couple of the DJI phantom 2 vision pluses, and love them.

Have it set up for FPV or just the gimbal camera?

[sniper7]

I'm into both the other kinds you mentioned, one of these looks pretty fun though

Just the gimbal camera with the onboard view sent to my iPhone 6+.

I want one but I'm too stupid to build my own. I've played with a few DJIs and love his easy they are to control.

I love the DJI but too poor to own one. I would love a FPV with some thermal imaging, be a good way to make some side cash doing roof / window inspections I'm playing with a blade 180 and it's a blast. Ever want to check it out hit me up and I will bring it to work.

ETA: the little protos are fun too

[rondog]

I could scrap one of those in 2.8 seconds. CRA$$$$HHH!!!! Bring mo' money.

[Mazin]

Yea but then the crashing starts the fun part of rebuilding
We all could always use another project right?
