  • I read some pretty telling info from a comment on another forum. Seemed to pretty much hit the nail on the head.

    "Look at the previous drone crowdsourced by the same company. It's a year late and not shipped yet, but they go ahead and start working on a new drone. Read here for more https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...t-flies-itself (originally promised for March 2019, now promised for March 2020... maybe).

    There are exactly 0 successful drones promoted on crowdsourcing sites. By definition, if a drone is offered as a crowdsourcing product, you should avoid it. Good companies that have a real product can easily find real investors. Companies that either have bad products or bad founding teams, cannot find investors and rely on crowdsourcing instead. At best, they ship late a product that by the time it ships is well behind the times. At worst they are like Plexidrone (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/p...drone-dreamqii) that scam users out of more than $2.3M and 5 years later still have nothing. Plenty of other examples, from the Zano to the Lily drone to countless others

    Tech sites are the worst offenders, gushing over unproven designs with no track record and going as far as giving "best of" awards to products that never ship. "
