It's beautiful to look at, it's fast, it's got a whole bunch of amazing features and it's just £39.99. That's right folks, we're talking about the amazing Bladez Transporter. If you're a bit of a remote controlled helicopter geek then you'll know that the Bladez Transporter is top of the range and almost unequalled for quality in that price range. This is why this nifty little gadget would make a perfect present for those who just can't get enough of gadgets - a friend or a sneaky treat for yourself! If you're not convinced just yet, then wait til you hear about the astonishing range of cool features this little guy comes complete with!
First of all, it has three channels so you can fly up, down, left, right forward back and if you want to be really impressive you can hover completely still! There's a lower and raise winch which allows you to have full control, some super cool bright lights which can be turned on and off from the handset! If you've got a need for speed then you can fly faster with one simple click of a button on the handset and you get around 12 minutes of flight, but it charges in just 45 minutes! It even has an up to 8 meter flying range!
So what more could you possibly be waiting for? Order now! And why not take advantage of our next day delivery option?
With the Christmas count down well on the way, it won't be long before we are all stressing about buying presents for our friends and family. If you are a massive Star Wars fan then you are going to love the RC Inflatable R2 D2 Star Wars Pump & Play. R2D2 is one of the most popular and well recognised characters out of the Star Wars series of films, so we know you are going to love this.
The awesome inflatable RC R2-D2 comes with a remote control that allows you to rotate the "Pump and Play" droid 360 degrees. Even better, if he gets knocked down, he'll bounce right back at you with the self-righting system. You can take your R2D2 on adventures or battle against friends with theirs, using the multi-directional 360 degree capabilities to escape or to battle. To get your R2D2 operational is pretty simple. All you have to do is inflate the pump (which is included), and clip on the radio control base drive unit and you are sorted! Even better, you can run him indoors and outdoors, allowing you to have hours of fun! Your R2D2 will stand at over 65cm high, is easy to operate and comes with Star Wars handset controls, allowing him to move forwards, backwards, right and left, and has 360 degrees manoeurvrability. This awesome remote control gadget requires 1x9V battery for handset and 4xAA battery for the drive unit.
So there you have it, the perfect gift idea for this Christmas or any other occasion. We have plenty of other remote control gadgets that would be suitable as gifts aswell. You can check them out here. Don't let Christmas shopping stress you out this year, life is made so much easier with Gadget Inspector.
It is what you have all been waiting for, the new Micro Drone 2.0 Quadrocopter has finally arrived and is up on our online store now, check it out! It will available for purchase over the next few days so keep your eyes peeled. Make sure you are the first to have one! With Christmas just around the corner, (I know it is a little while yet, but we all know how quickly time flies, and it'll be upon us before we know it!) this is an ideal gift to give this year. With all the newly added features and additions, this is going to be a popular request from Santa by many.
Since there have been other blog posts on this new product, I have decided to provide you with 5 ways to use the new Micro Drone to your advantage!
- Use your Quadrocopter to spy. Once the camera becomes available for the Micro Drone you can use your Quadro Copter to spy on people! Since you can fly continuously for 8 minutes, this gives you plenty of opportunity to bring out your inner detective!
- Create a series of tricks for a display! Since the Quadrocoper is even better than the last, use its new features to your advantage. With even better control and stability you'll be a pro in no time, after a little bit of practice performing tricks with your Quadrocopter.
- Have a race with fellow Quadrocopter owners. With the new increase in speed, who could resist showing off their remote control skills by having a race against a friend. You could even create an obstacle course to make things more challenging! No need to worry about damaging your Quadrocopter, because it is built with such a tough structure, it can withstand turbulence and the harshest landings!
- Take your Quadrocopter to work. Use it to spy on other collegues at work and keep tabs on how much work they are really doing!
- Disturb someone's nap time. Annoyed at a sibling or family member because they keep on waking you up early in the morning? Wait until they are having a nap and get your revenge. Use your Quadrocopter to hover above their head and gently fly into them so they stir from their sleep. Every time they do wake up, quickly move Quadrocopter out of sight so they think they are dreaming. Perfect plan of revenge!
As mentioned in a previous blog post, one of the new features to the Quadrocopter this year, is the ability to support a camera for photographic and videography use. However, the camera is sold separetly from the Quadrocopter and won't be available until the next couple of weeks. Plenty of time before christmas to put together this awesome present for someone! Whether you are buying this for yourself, or as a present for someone else - they will love it.
Who remembers the Micro Drone? It was a big seller here on Gadget Inspector last year, and so it gives us great pleasure to announce the imminent arrival of Micro Drone 2.0. This new and improved version of our favourite quadrocopter is set to go down a storm this autumn, and while we're reluctant to start thinking about Christmas presents this soon (heck, we haven't even had Halloween yet), we're pretty sure that anyone would be pleased to find a Micro Drone under the tree come December the 25th.
So what does this model do that the old quadrocopter didn't? Allow us to answer that question with bullet points:
- HD Video Camera - The new Micro Drone is capable of filming its flights with a high definition, 720p camera. Record video footage, take photos, and save it all to the drone's micro SD card.
- Unprecedented Stability - So you thought the old quadrocopter was a stable flier? Boy, you ain't seen nothing yet. Not only does this new version come with even smoother handling, it's got a clever little algorithm built into it so that it can recover after being thrown into the air.
- Stronger Structure - And if you do somehow manage to crash your quadrocopter, don't panic. The robust metal construction is design to withstand all manner of turbulence and poor landings. Everything bolts together to form one spectacularly sturdy whole.
- Super Speed - The new Micro Drone's motor goes at 29,000rpm, a mind-bogglingly high figure. If you can keep up with that speed, you'll get a seriously thrilling flight out of it.
The new Micro Drone quadrocopter will be arriving here at Gadget Inspector next week. We're excited, and we're sure you are too. We'll let you know when the drones arrive, but in the meantime, have another read of our 10 Things to Do with a Micro Drone blog and remind yourself of how to use one. Stay tuned!
