How bad can this be? Especially at £30?

Go undercover and stealth your way to amazing views

Is it just me or are they suggesting you do anti-social / illegal stuff with it ? Filming the neighbours ?

Link says £60 btw

Looks like a copy of a Syma X5C (but a rather strange controller).

You can get a genuine Syma for about £30 off Amazon or Ebay etc. It is fun to play with, easy to fly, and will survive a few crashes. Though the camera is rather poor.

One thing to check is can you get spare batteries. Probably only 5 minutes battery life, so handy to have a few spares.

So, these cheap drones? When the battery packs up after 5 minutes I assume it crashes into your neighbour's garden who will then retrieve the memory card, check out the photos you've been taking of his wife/daughter/nan/whatever, then pop round to have a chat.

The title says more about those who shop there than the product.

I think he's more of a Netto man.

Just ordered a Hubsan Q4, sixteen quids worth of rotary fun.

Might need a new pair of specs to find the bloody thing, they're teeny.

So you're saying that everyone that shops in tesco is a drone, why's that then?

Where do you shop and why does it make you better?

Runs on 5xAA batteries

Possible to replace with 2S 7.4v Lipo for greater runtime.

Or... just buy the Syma which is the same price, and a recognised brand with readily available spares, proper rechargeable batteries and a decent controller.
