Sad news for drone aficionados. Go Pro has cut 270 jobs on top of the other job cuts which was the result of an ailing Karma release. Is it me or is possible that putting drones out on a consumer market is not easy?

It is surprising to see what is offered for the price of a kickstarter campaign. However, if Go Pro has problems with the Karma, why would this not have problems?

People who have been in marketing for a while know that the best-selling product are not always the best products. Yes, sometimes the things like the Selfly phone case come to the market. Having raised over $1,000,000 on Kickstarter, the Selfly once again brings this phenomenon into the...

News travels or perhaps it doesn't. I was always wondering if the Mavic would make a Standard version. Sure enough, the Mavic seems to be heading in two seperate directions as suggested last September. For the price, I think this may be a keeper.

Recently, I saw a rather disturbing video of a woman in her 20's beating up a young kid around 12 years old because she was dead set in her beliefs that he was spying on her with his drone. That wasn't the first time this had happened as I also saw an older man who had flight goggles on get...

Not sure on the shipping cost. However, they are not alone. I just saw where UPS is doing the same. The drone will take off from the roof of the UPS van and meet up with the driver at a later point. Both are correct in that medical supplies and rural communities will benefit from this most.

Yes, I guess it can happen. Still, it must be a nightmare of you being in charge of a 1.5 million dollar drone and having it just take off on you. Worse yet, how can you trace where it is going to? Being not too far from the Mexico border perhaps part of my concern would be if the drone flies...

Consider the parachute. How long has it been around for? In a sense, it may be one of the more versatile inventions out there. It helped bring the Apollo Space capsule to an easy landing. It helped many paratroopers land without injury. Now, it is set to design to help Amazon land your smaller...

Is the Tornado H920 Plus the next step up from Typhoon H? Hard to say but Yuneec has certainly taken the Typyhoon H and added some cool technology behind it. What I like best about the Tornado H920 is if you have had experience with the Typhoon H, you should be able to pick up from this point...

To have that type of background can really save you alot of heart ache with drones. I always consider this like dealing with a parent when resetting a cable box and they want to get involve but are equally frustrated by the process. It really helps to have that natural curiosity that a techie...

Great punch line under your response. Well it goes without saying, you can never have enough props or spare batteries.

Don't get me wrong. I do not believe that you can make these judgements in a neat little package. However, to be a Legal Nerd, Tech Nerd or Gear Nerd, it really does take a special type of person. It also takes on how much you are looking to read up on. 8 Types of Drone Users says quite a bit...

They come in all sizes and features. Fatshark makes one. So does Spectrum. For those not familiar with the FPV product, goggles are considered an upgrade due to a more immersive view that is unaffected by sunlight. Even those who have shortsightedness can use the goggles provided that they can...
