Leo finds a must-have (or a must-avoid) piece of crap somewhere!

Well, if this is crap, it’s got to be right up there with the world’s most expensive crap! 

This week’s Leo gadget is the DJI Phantom Aerial UAV Drone Quadcopter for GoPro

First, here’s the description from Amazon: Attractive and highly integrated design. Stable, yet agile performance, easy to fly. The Phantom is DJI's first small size Ready-to-Fly VTOL. It not only has an attractive appearance, but also has a built-in Naza-M + GPS multi-rotor autopilot system giving a stable and reliable flight characteristic. It also comes with its own dedicated R/C controller. Flight parameters and functions have been setup and tuned by DJI engineers before delivery, so you can fly your Phantom the moment you receive it. It is so easy to operate and stable, this makes aerial filming a breeze. DOES NOT COME WITH GOPRO CAMERA, MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. $679.00.

(That’s a TWiT Link. You pay the Amazon price, but TWiT gets a pittance if you decide to actually buy one.)

And Leo’s take? He loved it! And so did we. The Drone Quadcopter goes really high, up to 200’, and the video from the TWiT GoPro camera was amazing. It turned out that flying it indoors wasn’t a good idea. There were too many things in the TWiT Brick House for it to have a clear flight path. But outdoors it was great. Leo said he didn’t regret spending $679 for it and that he was sure TWiT would find a great use for it! It does come with it's own RC console. Be sure to watch the Quadcopter video in this show!
