Interesting hobby.Been reading about all the advances being made thanks to miniaturization in electronics and how its expanding its capabilities while reducing costs.
Getting past the privacy concerns some have,its pretty neat what is being done when used as a hobby.
Feel free to share my pictorials anywhere you like.Could mention from Spuds if you remember.

Pretty cool, jj...
I have been doing a lot of research and shopping since the first of the year and I am going to be ordering the DJI Phantom 3 Standard soon.
As for privacy, you don't have to worry, because once the drone is 30 ft, you can't identify anybody on the ground.  And with the noise it makes, you can't sneak up on someone without their knowledge.  Someone won't be able to hover outside your window and take videos without you hearing it.

If interested in drones, first check out the Chinese sites like gearbest or geekbuying. They are about 60% less in price. It takes a month to get them though. They ship by mail.

I thinks the drones look like fun but, as others have done, if one is hovering in my yard I will shoot it down.

Get your own combat drone and protect your airspace!  ;D

Jack I was leaning toward the DJI Phantom 3 standard to,until I ran across this one,it operates off GPS to.. Got it from Gearbest for $207 plus shipping and insurance.Total $232 and two week delivery . This thing has auto take off and landing.Auto return to home switch and if you loose power or signal it will return to place it took off from. When you release any control it will just hoover in the same spot. I have been flying Radio control planes off and on since the early seventies and this is the most forgiving RC I have ever flown.

DJI Phantom vs the Detect X380...
