Hi Guys

In the run up to Christmas, some of our suppliers sent us a load of magical toys to mess around with in the office. Some of the ones that were sent to us were actually very impressive so we have decided to list the good ones.

The rubbish ones are in the bin where they belong!

We have a really strong selection here that will make perfect gifts for kids and are robust enough for us to consider selling them.

After a massive amount of testing in the office, warehouse, carpark and generally around OcUK HQ. We are proud to offer our new range of mini Drones and RC Helicopters.

The huge highlight of the range is the OcUK Shark Helicopter. The build quality of this product is immense for the price and in terms of how easy it is to pilot, we even managed to get rjk and Gibbo flying it sensibly.
rjk crashed it into the warehouse wall and it lived, Gibbo landed it on the loading bay roof and it fell off and survived. This thing is tough and has great build quality with every person in the office guessing a retail price well in excess of £100.

The Mini drones are a hoot to use as well with a number of cool features. They are easy to fly and come with a comfortable controller. Perfect for annoying your Nan on Christmas day or even just flying around the office.

We have limited stock of some lines so be quick!

All you hear in the office is a faint beep then sudden whirring. You instantly know you are either about to get smacked in the back of the head by a drone or have Haribo delivered in style. Its both amazing and scary.

Personal favourite is the Mosquito, small, robust and very nippy! Very good price too.

My favourite part of the day is throwing the drone down the office and it still managing to right itself and keep flying. The Dragonfly in particular is a great piece of kit and I'll probably be grabbing one myself to infuriate the dog with.
 
As RJK said, the Shark fantastic value for money, however my personal favourites are the Dragonfly PRO and the Mosquito. Here's a picture of them side by side for reference.

I think a video of flight round the office causing havoc of the little red quad copter would seal the deal for me ;)

I think if the guys in the office hear that thing start up again they'll all get a nervous twitch, I was using them to deliver Haribo yesterday, but my piloting skills are something to be desired. I did manage to grab a quick video of Chugnorris flying the little drone though, I'll see if I can get that up on YouTube so I can link it here.

any chance of a video of the shark? just to seal the deal

I'll see what I can do.

Just after I got my lad a Hubsan!

Are you going to be stocking crash kits and spares?

It comes with 4 spare blades in the box. We had this thing flying around the office for 3 days solid and I've bounced it off every single surface / staff member at full tilt and so far it's only required one replacement blade. I can certainly have a word and see if I can get hold of spares though.

Do you keep a tally of who's getting the most head shots and the victims?
 
Drangonfly Pro looks pretty cool. Might have to update my Christmas list! :D

Edit: any details on the integrated camera? Also, the Mosquito is tiny! Love the X360 styled remote for it. Not sure which to go for now.

Pretty sure it's 0.3MP, so nothing amazing, but it's not bad for a £35 drone.
You can choose to take a photo or video by pressing the up or down keys on the left dpad. I'll grab a few photos with it later.
