A drone 601 having stabilising means to dampen pitch and roll when the drone is in flight, comprising at least one gyroscope 604. Preferably there are two stabilising gyroscopes located substantially centrally within the frame. There are a number of lift rotors 602 on the drone body 603, providing vertical lift. The drone may also have sideways facing air displacement means, preferably in the form of a plurality of drift rotors 605, and may have adjustable flaps. Preferably the air displacement means comprise four rotors aligned such that two of the rotors are substantially parallel and substantially perpendicular to the other two rotors. The drone preferably has an inductive charging means configured to connect inductively with a remote charging station when the drone is proximate to the charging station, in order to charge a battery on the drone. Preferably the drone has one or more cameras mounted on the shell configured to record or stream video footage. There are independent claims for a drone with inductive charging means, for a drone and storage station with inductive charging means and weather protection means, and for a carrier case for a drone.
