When I've looked at ones the can manage 30mph for about 8-10 mins.
I thought it might still be cool for small

Does it have a follow me or was someone controlling it?

What camera does it use?

That's cool, Jaime (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I picked up a small quad last month. I'd like to go FPV when I get the hang of it.


Related, I'm getting tired of the legislative bodies interfering with just about every hobby I have. Who in hell are these people? They sit on their asses every day dreaming up new ways to spoil our fun (and all done on our tax dollars) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ... They must lead very boring, mundane lives. [/rant]

Thats cool! I read where a commercial pilot landing at JFK? or Newark? spotted a drone on his approach. That had everyone asking questions.

People are always going to do stupid stuff, but they're trying to outlaw FPV in a lot of states. Apparently a lot of people are running around scared because of the military and HLS drone issue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

That's Cool! Looks like shots you would have needed to hire a helicopter to get. Puts low buck filming in a new light.

Check out what these guys are doing in WA State. I've been watching them grow and build some amazing footage from their 'copters. They've got some epic views of some race tracks, simply because they can fly their 'copters over head.

They run a two pilot system: 1 for the aircraft and the 2nd for the footage. Carrying a full size camera. That's some lift capacity!

Their Web Page: Shifted Cinema

For those on Facebook...they also have a page.

I purchased a small quad for my GoPro and I am building up a larger hexacopter, but will take some time as I practice my flying on the quad. It's a very cool hobby.

Future airliner cockpits excuse me, "flight decks" will soon be occupied by one pilot and a dog. The pilot will be there to feed the dog and the dog is there to bite the pilot if he tries to touch anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

You may soon be riding in an airplane from New York to L.A. that is piloted by some guy on the ground in Omaha. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

That is very cool.
Now you need to rig it so it can come up out of the back and scout AHEAD of you for the speed traps ;-)

Why is it called a Quadcopter? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
It has 6 props, not 4.

Yikes! You really, really need a much less wide-angle lens on that puppy! The distortion is really distracting (not to mention stomach-churning!) when the copter moves at any speed. Most especially if it changes pitch angle!

Pretty damn cool otherwise, though!
