Watch the spot

This one is a total flyer (smile). I supposes there's a DR case to be made using the success of Spin Master's Air Hogs line -- they even have a quad copter -- but this pitch isn't anything like that. Rather, it more tries to draft off the adult hobbyist trend with a category-killer price. But just like that poor man's GoPro Telebrands tried (wait, is that the same alligator?), this project faces a major credibility challenge.

S7 Analysis: As with the previous product, I also wonder about the targeting here. Something tells me very few older folks are into drones. The same could be said of women, another key DRTV buying group.
