Although you can’t get your food delivered by drone yet, you can buy a variety of cheap drones to use as toys for capturing unique video footage. In this review, we’ll be looking at one of those cheap drones, the Ascend Aeronautics ASC-2400 which we stumbled across at our local Costco warehouse. There appears to be two versions of this drone on the market currently, the ASC-2400 we have here and a slightly more expensive ASC-2450 with Optical Technology which claims to offers better tracking. The ASC-2400 is marketed as a beginner friendly drone that can be flown by anyone 14 or over. At only $54.85, or even cheaper at some retailers, is a tempting drone that features a front mounted 720p camera and stable four propeller design. The drone even has an auto launch / land feature and up to 15 minute runtime from a rechargeable battery pack.

Out of the box, the drone comes fully assembled and ready to fly. The only initial setup that is required is putting the AAA batteries into the controller and charging the drone’s rechargeable battery. Before each flight the controller and drone need to be synced before flying which is quick but a bit cumbersome. Per the instructions, you should power up the drone first and then quickly turn on the controller. The syncing process requires pushing both joysticks forward until you hear a beep and then pull both joysticks back in unison until it beeps. Done correctly, the drone and controller LEDs will go from flashing to solid. Note, there also is no battery status indicator for the drone or the app which means you’ll need to be careful to track your flight time. As the battery status goes down the drone will struggle to hold an altitude and tends to self land.

The Ascend Aeronautics ASC-2400 drone has a compact folding frame design with the tried-and-tested quadcopter four propeller design. There are two blades on each propeller and have lightweight plastic constructions that hold up well to impact. Each of the propellers are attached to pivoting arms that can easily be folded in which makes it easy to travel or transport the drone. The propeller blades can also easily be removed using the included screwdriver and replaced using the spare blades. The drone body has a simple rectangular profile with a perforated top plastic cover that protects the electronics and battery. Branding is limited to the Ascend Aeronautics logo on the front and on each of the propeller blades.
