    Edit: Except everyone is selling higher than MSRP.

    Kinda small for the money. But I agree that the "coolness" factor is pretty high.

    In addition to stability, the Falcon has the added benefit of the obvious LEDs to help you keep track of its orientation. Seems like a good feature for a starter quad.

    i just hope star wars becomes cool again.
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Steve's Cyber Monday Sale Purchase:
    ,
    Seek Compact XR...
    .

    ,
    At least I CAN justify it as a useful tool...
    .
    Works ok IF you know what your doing with one. General Purpose users, buy the non XR varient for the wide field of view. Twenty degree FOV is a bit narrow for fooling around or finding downed Quadcopters in the dark. If the motors are still warm after the crash, the XR will see them.
    Not that I will ever use it for that, but some of you need one.
