I saw one of those things flying around here the other day . I must say the image quality does look good.

Nice capture of some parts of this city [Cool]

Superb images, those drones do have some great uses but as always there will be the idiots who will spoil it for many as they are here in England by flying them right next to passenger airlines.
This is a great video advert for your country. [Wink]

Never mind about 'idiots' I can't believe that terrorists haven't already utilised these drones for their murderous policies. It surely can only be a matter of time before we see these things delivering horrific cargos by remote control. If our security agencies can't see this coming then they need their asses kicking.

your right there Terry, its bound to come sooner or later, i couldn't believe the news the other day showing the drones delivering drugs over the prison walls and straight to the bars of the prisoners cells. Here in this thread we see the very good and also see the bad possibilities, or should that be probabilities.

Excellent video. Well done. I had a drone but I ending up selling it because it was too hard for me to fly.

I couldn't seem to get used to watching the screen instead of looking up at the drone.

[Eek!]

I have a friend who is big-time into model aircraft. He flies a drone wearing VR goggles.

-after he fell over a couple of times he started bringing a chair with him!

PAT!

Here's a new one I saw on TV the other day:

They are training eagles to snatch drones out of the sky to protect sensitive airspace like airports and military installations.

I'd PAY to see that!

No need to pay:
