Evening folks - trust you are having a good weekend.

I picked up a PicoZ earlier when I was in town, figured I needed cheering up - so obviously I buy a gadget. It's great fun, a little tricky to get started but fantastic value :)

Anyone got one - any hints on controlling it?
 
I bought a copy a while ago, great fun :D.

Practice makes perfect I found.

Edit. Pop a drawing pin underneath it, this may shorten flight time a little but you get a nice foward motion which I found made it easier to control - ie. not crashing into walls!

Just remember the closer to the nose you put it the faster it will fly forward.

Hawkin's Bazaar.

Although I've seen them in er.. not sure if they are competitors. the highstreet electronics shop that are a bit like tandy used to be :p
 
It's hard to tell the difference between fakes. Are PicoZ and PicooZ different products? Or is it just that some websites have misspelled PicooZ?

EDIT: On the site I'm looking at it says this

"Note: For some reason unbeknownst to us, the manufacturers of this product have labeled the packaging with "PicooZ" rather than "PicoZ". Where does the name come from? Well, it's probably based on the word Pico, meaning "really small" - Pico is an SI reference for 10−12 with roots in the spanish word for "small quantity"."

So PicoZ and PicooZ must be the same thing.
 
From what I read it seemed that Picoz with 1 o is the fake ones, picooZ are genuine.

The one I ordered is a Silverlit, just got an email confirming its been dispatched. :D
 
Only worth it if you buy more than 1 tbh. Get your mates round and have aerial battles.

We bought 3 at xmas.. dont play with it any more.. but it was good fun.
 
Impulse buying mode.

Which one do i buy? If there is enough interest we could have an ocuk thread dedicated to it... :cool:
 
Was going to get one of these a few months back, but really wasnt sure if I would use it a lot. You're makign me want to get one again lol
