Chad's Crappy Corner!

The theme for Chad’s gadgets for the month of November is Stocking Stuffers For The Holidays.

Chad first gadget is a mini drone – Here’s some info from Amazon:

Syma X5 4 Channel 2.4GHz RC Explorers Quad Copter. A key 360 degree continuous roll for perfect action and wonderful performance. Build-in 6-axis gyroscope for precise hovering in the sky. Using spread spectrum technology for further remote distance, best anti-interference ability, least power consumption.  Reaction speed is 100 times faster than other radio control. Various control options for those piloting the X5 Up, Down, Left, Right, Forward, Backward, Leftward flight, Rightward flight. Modular design structure is applied, more simple for assembly and convenient for maintenance. $49.99. 

And Chad’s take: Chad loves this Quad Copter. Turns out Padre, Bryan, and almost everyone else at the Brickhouse loves them. I think five of them now own a Syma 5X. They say they are easy to fly and a ton of fun! Even though they crashed them dozens of times, they keep on flying! And they're inexpensive at under $50. The only warning, avoid the camera version. Padre said that even though it's just $5 more, the video quality is awful with a very shaky picture. Outside of that, buy, buy, buy! Padre suggests also buying a couple of extra batteries to extend the approximate flying time of 10 to 12 minutes. Bryan says it might be good to also get a couple of extra propellers, just in case.

And Chad’s take? Chad likes this stylus a lot. And the fact that it has a built-in retractable microfiber cleaning cloth makes it a great gift for under $4. So this too Chad thinks is a good buy!
