Kogan had a special on just before Xmas for the
Intruder UFO Spy Drone for $99 (usually $199), so I thought "What the heck, grab one".

Freakin' awesome fun, and tough enough to take quite a bashing from my lousy flying skills. Only opened it today, chipped one of the blades when I hit a branch on a tree, so I've ordered 4 more sets of blades for $3.18, 3 x 1500 mAh batteries and a balanced charger. The existing battery is only 650 mAh and gives a flight time of around 5 minutes, so I'm hoping the new batteries will give me around 10-15 minutes of flight time each. It has a 1gb microSD card in it, which will allow about 15 minutes of video, so I'm going to upgrade that to a 8gb. This will work nicely with the total of 4 batteries and should allow enough video to be recorded before I have to dump the videos onto a hard drive and recharge the batteries.
Here is a video I took today. I was like a bloody kid in a candy store when I played it back on the computer. The video is much better straight from the computer, I've wrecked it loading it onto Youtube.
Just noticed my gutters need cleaning.
