Drones for Christmas

Santa brought my son a camera drone for Christmas. It could be called a toy based on price but it has lots O'bells and whistles.

It's a Holy Stone HS200 FPV RC Drone with HD Wifi Camera Live Feed 2.4GHz 4CH 6-Axis Gyro Quadcopter with Altitude Hold, Gravity Sensor and Headless Mode RTF.

Lo and behold, Santa brought me a drone too
(total co-inky-dink),
it's a Syma X8HG RC Drone Barometer Set Height / 8MP Camera / 360 Degree Flip 2.4GHz 4 Channel 6 Axis Gyro Quadcopter

Very similar but mine is a tad bigger and doesn't do the wifi live feed camera. It also has about a third the range of his.
But with my eyes, 100 meters is prolly plenty far.

We flew his for a few minutes Christmas day but it's been raining or really windy most days here since. Hopefully we'll be able to test them out this weekend.


Anyone else out there into his stuff?
