If you, or your employees, are becoming TOO productive, get one of these for the office:
A bit of advice, also-
Great fun for $20, or so.
Mayby I'm just a Fraidy Cat, but I don't want to be anywhere near ANYTHING that has a bunch of exposed blades rotating at high speed! Is it just me?
Dude, the thing is 2" square...my 6 year-old granddaughter crashes it all over the house. Get the basket blade guard. Wear your safety goggles & a cup. It's really a hoot.

Just imagine if it was powered by the whole thing!!

"Dude, the thing is 2" square..."
Firstly - please don't address me as "Dude." Thanks.
Secondly, "2" wide" - so its the perfect size to take out an eye. huh? Even more reason not to have one!
Sorry Jim, I guess picked up a bit of the younger generation's vernacular, no offense intended. By all means, stay safe out there!
I have one and they are a blast. Tough to maneuver. 6 months later and still not good at it. Dog hates it and when he hears it winding up he comes in and stomps on it.
I've had mine about 6 mo., too. Haven't gotten out of beginner mode yet. Neighbor's cat is terrified of it.
You hafta have the basket prop guard, or those props will last about 20 seconds. Also helps prevent eye injuries - 😉
I had to reinforce the struts on the prop guard with model airplane cement, after I busted that up. Buy lots of spare props, anyway.

Somebody in my office brought their kid into work when they could not find a sitter or something.
He was running that same quad copter. Very distinct noise...distracting to say the least.
It didn't sound like it was flying even 4 minutes before he had to recharge.
We have a couple Blade nanos we fly inside lots of fun and you can easily find spare parts for when you crash land it in your wife's scentsy candle.

Hey Sarge, If my employees become TOO productive I'd give 'em a raise and more work. The Quad is for me 😉
B-)
The one I've been looking for is fitted in a net ball about the size of a soft ball å± and is practically impossible for the blades to hit anything.
The Dude abides.

I saw the gadget on a Funniest Home Video segment and it looked like a whiffle ball with maximum sized holes.
