Wifey got me this early birthday/father's day present...pictures and video to follow once I get this bird off the ground. 

I'll also do a little write-up as to how it compares with my Parrot Drone 2.0

Max flight time is 25 min.  Max speed is 35 mph and max altitude approaches 1,000 feet.

Camera has 14 megapixels and 4384×3288 max resolution. Records HD video in 1080p!

I'm on a quest to acquire the most advanced commercially available drone (within reason) before our stupid government decides to ban them.

That would be great to check the rain gutters for leaves.

I used my Parrot 2.0 to check for roof damage after Superstorm Sandy.

I have zero practical application for a phantom 2 drone in my life, and yet am insanely jealous.

Wow... I could scan the ammonite banks for concretions and never break a sweat.....
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Now I am insanely jealous. Makes my old X45 combo look stone age. Very nice bit of kit, JH.
