Do you know off hand if the toy copter cos are looking to take advantage of the affordability of this kind of tech, or are thry just too old fashioned to care?
You can absolutely buy a tinywhoop or something like that. You can even wire them for FPV, which is a cool way to experience life in your house as a fly.
But the prices aren't just affecting the floor models. DJI's had to move into the $300 range (I literally just bought one) because of steep competition in small shops making custom drones and other vendors pushing the cost down as various manufacturing houses spin up.
The Cheapest one I saw was the Spark at 399 --looks great but looks like best experience would require doubling that for the goggles as well. Still; looks enticing!
