Drone and Annoy

Lily Next-Gen : Really?

Hmmmm? Reminds us of the Who song "We Won't Get Fooled Again". It seems MOTA Group wants to double down on the Lily debacle. So, $300,000 and an acquisition later, there's a Lily Next-Gen that has fewer features/promises than its predecessor. Who wants to buy one? Here's a peak at the Lily Next-Gen, so well branded it only needs a single name + Next-Gen. Once again, too bad a flashy website doesn't translate into real world products. We give Lily Next-Gen a B+ for web page design and two F's for anything close to honesty in advertising.

Kickstarter Krazy: Lily

Kickstarter is rife with over promised, under delivered multirotor schemes. The latest being Lily, so well branded it only needs a single name. About the only thing not promised with Lily is the happy ending. Too bad a flashy website doesn't translate into real world products. We give Lily an A+ for web page design and an F for anything close to honesty in advertising. Just ask Enrique Iglesias about cuddling with a quadcopter.

What Would You Say?

Ken Skid, yes that is his real last name, coins a few choice phrases as the result of a DJI Phantom fly away and recovery. Fly away sequence begins at about 1:32; technical fly away jargon at 1:59. Note: Not for sensitive ears, you've been warned.

Snow, Drones, and Roman Candles

Cabin fever is in full force for these dudes. Hey, I know let's strip down, strap some roman candles to the quadcopter and run for our lives.

Cheesy Drone Ad of the Week

We travel to the beautiful island of St. Martin for our first installment of Cheesy Drone Ad of the Week. Cue sweet mellow tropical tune, add a few bikini clad ladies and voila, you just made a cheesy drone ad. Remember kids that sun is hot, so be sure to wear a good waterproof sunscreen when flying in the water.
