Reposting: Philadelphia from a GoPro Drone
FWIW, this came up on NBC.com the other day: http://photoblog.nbcnews.com/_news/2...syrian-rebels- claim-they-captured-government-drone-reveal-images-found-inside One wonders if it's really a "government drone" or if it belonged to some reporter, news agency, or just a well-to-do hobbyist. Still, it seems relevant to the discussion. One person saw me flying the thing and asked, "Is that armed?" -- m-m photo gallery: http://mhmyers.com |

They suggested that H first get a cheap toy drone, to learn how to fly it. They strongly suggested that he not make the purchase, unless he was sure he would learn how to use it. He ordered the toy from Tiger direct, for about $29. The Full version with reasonable accessories sells for about 2K. No way. This one was less than 500 without the camera and you don't need special skills to fly it- just some reasonable intelligence. But my interests are radio control airplanes (my RC page- http://www.mhmyers.com/rc.tn.html ) and photography so this seemed the perfect match. How high? No idea. It can go out of sight and then the GPS will bring it back to the spot it took off from with no help from the pilot. |
