xmas2016-drones

Remote controlled planes and helicopters have been around for many years but they never caused the frenzy that we have seen with drones. They have invaded our psyche and become a part of our culture. This is the year that drones have emerged as a cultural phenomenon. You can quickly become the envy of your friends if you win one of the 3 incredible drones that Best Buy is awarding as prizes in this contest.

I am currently reading Dickens’ Bleak House, an amazing story that includes many references to 19th century culture. For example, on page 344 Dickens includes in his descriptions of the Smallweed family, a family that is basically born adult, presumably skipping childhood and childish things, numerous childish games and toys that were popular in his day:

“… her twin brother couldn’t wind up a top for his life. He knows no more of Jack the Giant Killer or of Sinbad the Sailor than he knows of the people in the stars. He could as soon play at leap-frog or at cricket as change into a cricket or a frog himself.”

 

I am sure that if Dickens was writing in 2016 he would include references to flying a drone. They are here to stay as more and more people are using them for more and more things.  Here are the incredible drones we are offering as prizes in this contest and some of their key features:

p3-standard DJI Phantom3 Standard: easy to fly, travels up to 57.6km/h, 2.7 k HD video, 12 megapixel photos, stream video to your phone, up to 25 minutes of flight time per charge

  1. I hate to be relative, but the obstacle avoidance sensing system is awesome. This would be a Christmas present for my son, and I think he’d like the 4k video or full HD at 120 fps, built in Wi-Fi.
    Thank you for giving us the opportunity. 🙂

  11. I like the obstacle avoidance system in the Phantom 4 – I think that would work well when my teenage son is using it! I wish I had it in my car….

  19. I love the DJI Phantom3 standard the most,with its 12 megapixel photos would be awesome and the stream videos to your phone is plus as well. it would be so neat to view.very exciting! ready for some fun times with this beauty.

  36. The obstacle avoidance sensing system Is the feature i like best. From many years of flying RC model planes I know that depth perception can be difficult.

  40. I really like the DJI MAVIC Foldable Quadcopter Drone. It’s Foldable and lightweight design will make it easy to bring along anywhere and it’s 4K video and photos will be nice to show off to friends and family. Really cool drone, hopefully Santa spoils me this year.
