It sounds like a giant mosquito and it looks like a one-eyed wasp, with its camera lens staring at you, but it’s just a friendly drone.
And that’s how Chris Griggs wants the drones he sells at Drones Plus in Beaverton to be known, but he knows not every customer will abide.
“The positive is far greater than the potential for bad,” he said. “We ask (customers) to respect the rights of others.”
In the six weeks since Drones Plus opened at Beaverton Town Square, Griggs said he has had 2,500 customers. He has sold at least 15 of the most expensive consumer models at $3,000 each and even more of the cute little drones for kids, which range from $29 to $79. Some have cameras and some don’t.
