Mention the word "drone", & most people think of a quadrocopter or a military drone similar to the one in the image above. Actually drones come in a large range of shapes, sizes, capabilities & prices.
● Single rotor, dual rotors, 4, 6, or 8 rotors, or fixed wing
● With or without GPS, gyroscope, gimballed or not
● Camera capability, sometimes accommodating a GoPro.
● Almost any price you want to pay. Prices in the linked article range from $34 to $60,000. The military style drone at the top of this item (a model of the U.S Air Force Predator drone with 5 foot wingspan) can be yours for just $460.
