Out of the blue, my girlfriend bought me a Mavic Pro for my birthday in December. I casually mentioned that I would like to have one when I was watching a Youtube video, but I sure was't expecting one. I still haven't flown it because of the weather and the fact that I am still trying to find a location, but I am excited about it. In the meantime, I bought something called a Polar Pro Katana (that gives you a way to used the camera on the Mavic when not flying) and it works pretty well.I bought an Autel XSP 4k drone last fall. I've taken some decent footage, but I need to catch up on video editing/software. Its a fun hobby and opens new dimensions to photography.

Where were you when this happened? I rarely see them around here. Someone was flying one at the beach last summer, but he kept it over water until it was time to land. The only other one was at the park, but he was the only one there. I think he was just practicing with it.Almost smashed one a few months back that someone hovered in front of me while I was trying to do something....
The hamburger people? Canadians look like hamburgers?Anyone ever notice those drones look like the Canadians on South Park?
Drones--- When I was a kid these toys were refered to as RC aircraft.
Does a SO count as one?
Seriously, was looking for one, but don't want to go over $250-$300 range. Can you get something fairly decent for that money?

I forgot that I actually have a small toy drone. It is actually pretty fun to use. I think it is called a Lumi. It does a few tricks that you can control or it lets you program a bunch of different tricks to music and it will just perform them. They sell it as a kid's toy for using in the house, but it could still ram into a TV or something, which is why I mainly used it out in the garage or in the backyard.I have one of the palm sized indoor drones, no camera.
I used to be on a drone crew at Oro Grande NM. We flew Northrop Ventura/ McCollough target tow Radioplanes for Ft Bliss and McGregor ranges in the 1960s.
Yup... unfortunately most are..... drones.
