The South Park episode last night has me interested.

Who here has one and what are some of the better brands/units?

A police drone shot down an unarmed civilian drone...of course, the drone was black.

You can get that helicopter on Amazon for under $20 and I recommend it to anyone! There is a version with a built in camera for like $40ish. They are the BEST little toy for at home or in the office.

My cousin has one and always posts videos on Facebook. Really cool little gadget but I couldn't see myself spending that kind of money on it. At least not right now.

a DJI phantom?

I'll buy for 500 if it has the gyro.

Don't want the camera, just the gyro and drone

I have a custom built 6 motor Y frame.

3d robotics makes some nice packages if you don't want to search for parts and want a higher quality drone than something like a phantom. The Y6's are nice.

Drones can be helicopters, they can be R/C cars, they can be planes, basically can be a ton of different things.

The only thing drone means is that there isn't someone inside it operating it.
