any other.

Hobbico ORA
Ideal for taking aerial views of action sports, outdoor wed-

dings, real estate, vacation vistas, and more, the ORA delivers
aerial photo and video capture with no need for radio control

piloting experience. All images are recorded on a Secure Digital
card built into the drone, which provides higher resolution, and

the use of the 5.8 GHz radio band instead of the typical 2.4 GHz
or Wi-Fi helps to ensure a more robust connection.
