I know there's a topic on these elsewhere, but that's a bigger grade of drone. Anyone here fly hobbyist drones, like the DJI or the quad copters you can build?
I know of some guys that fly some racing type drones, and saw some footage and pictures of others playing with a TinyWhoop which is a tiny little thing that will fit in the palm of your hand. Though it apparently still has quite the range with a proper controller.
It looks pretty interesting, but I'd feel like I was invading peoples space flying one in a populated area. The setups I've seen (even for the TinyWhoop) used some large RC controllers (like those used on old model planes and such years ago) that could pair with multiple drones. They also had a VR like headset made by a company called Fat Shark. From what I gather the range with the controller they had was quite a long distance and the drones all have a camera of some sort, so with the controller linked to the drone and the headset you could basically just see what the drone saw while flying. Sounds like something that would be quite fun, but I'd still feel awkward just flying around my local neighborhood with such a thing
