New (maybe) small DRONE - cheap!

Not sure if this particular drone has been mentioned before now or not - and not endorsing it... I just thought I'd share the article.

It's a good idea never to order something you got an email out of the blue selling.

At least Amazon and even eBay have systems to protect the buyer. Stick with legitimate sites.

We'd expect this kind of scam from some spammer selling Viagra or other miracle cures. But even our beloved drones are being used to bait unsuspecting customers.

IMHO its a piece of junk and I would avoid it. It is designed to look like a DJI Mavic drone but do not be fooled it is not. At $110 you get what you pay for. This is just a toy drone designed to look like an expensive drone.

The areas to really check out is what kind of gimbal it has. If there is none then it will be susceptible to a lot of camera vibration. Also the 4k camera spec can be misleading too. With no GPS you can get a lot of drift too.

Sorry to be a wet blanket. John's video link says it all.
