Ask Slashdot: Best Drone For $100-$150?

Posted by samzenpus on from the eye-in-the-sky dept.

andyring writes With Christmas fast approaching, and me being notoriously hard to buy for, I thought a camera drone would be great to suggest for Christmas. But the options are dizzying, and it's nearly impossible to find something and know it'll be decent. What are Slashdotters suggestions/recommendations/experiences with a basic camera drone in the $100-150 range? Looks like all of them do video but I'm more interested in high-res stills although that may be a moot point.

    Just show it your penis. The drone will overheat and self-destruct trying to zoom in far enough to get a good picture.
