Review
For the low price the Edrone comes with all the bells and whistles, packages a bunch of sensors that make it flight with a steady pace, since is not fast has the enough speed to have fun with your kids, respond fast to move in any direction.
Is a nice touch that include xbox like RC remote control (batteries not included), and talking about batteries the 550mAh gives enought juice to flight no more than 10 minutes and it gonna takes one hour to charge it. The shots taken with the on board camera are ok, for better result we recomend the 720p version.
