What kind of person thought camo was a good idea for a drone? It’s useless when it’s flying and even worse if it crashes. Imagine the poor kids getting this for Christmas, only to lose it right away.
Most of these drones probably don’t make it past December 26th. They’re unstable, the video quality is ancient, and the range is laughable.
I just see an empty box.

It’s a John Cena drone—completely invisible.
Same folks who made camo golf balls, probably. If you’re buying something like this, you deserve what you get.

These toys are marketed to clueless parents and grandparents who just remember the kid saying the word ‘drone’ once.
I always think about putting camo stickers on my drone. Then I realize how impossible it’d be to find if it crashes.
A friend kept buying cheap drones and said they crash into trees right after takeoff. I ended up giving them my old DJI Mini SE. Wouldn’t it just be cheaper to buy a decent drone in the first place?

For real. I had five $100 drones that all broke. My $1000 drone has been flown everywhere, crashed a bunch of times, and still works perfectly.
I’m 40, and my mom still bought me a $20 drone for Christmas.
Black drones are the worst. Everything should be high-visibility pink or orange by default.

That’s why I love my bright orange Autel Robotics Evo Lite+.
I might buy one just to use for target practice with my bigger drone.

That’s edgy.

Wait, are you saying you’re going to urinate on it?
This kind of stuff doesn’t last long anyway.
150 feet range? That’s ridiculously short.
Great way to ruin Christmas.
For $40, I’m not going to complain much.
The upside to these junk drones is that they’re so limited in range they can’t really cause trouble. They’re too short-ranged to interfere with planes or bother neighbors.
