Cyclone v262

I've never flown a drone but it seems really interesting
The10 min battery sucks though
Price?

No gimmick..these are entry level drones....so as long as you dont expect them to fly a mile up and come back home by they self...you wont be dissapointed.
..I hooked up a sj4000 which is a bootleg gopro to it and my videos come out lovely
I recommend that first drone I posted...I have fun with that one..and i can take alot of abuse

Batteries are cheap though..just buy 2-3 extra...that way when you fly..you have a 30min session

I kinda like the 262, for a novice like myself how long would it take for me to get used to it and do those flips?
So I'm assuming if the drone wrecks my GoPro is going to snap like a twig?

well...if you up high enough and your go pro falls too hard...and it does not have a case...then yeah....I have not had that problem.
It will prolly take you about 30-45 mins to get the hang of it..maybe sooner
im thinking about the 262 and this one

Honestly bruh..if Its not a parrot 2.0...I think they all are made in the same factory....so I say go for it....they are fun
how long do these devices last? i read some opinions and some people claim only 10 hours of flight before the motors burn out
whats been your experience with drones?

I have mine since the date of the earlier posts
The black one syma I bought did break...but I think it was a lemon.....the other two are fine...matter fact Im flying them after I eat breakfast
Here's The Wirecutter reviews of some drones: The Best Drones
