Lee check out an AR Drone One of our club menbers had one yesterday at our meeting. I don't know what it will cary weight wise but it has 2 FPV camras onboard and it runs off your I Phone, I Pad, or I pod. tell me what you think. It dosent have much range but its only $299.99.

The problem with the drone is the lag time. You have to anticipate each movement. I will admit there are some cool features, like one button take off and landing. But for what Lee is wanting to use it for, that little guy won't lift the gear.

 

[Lee]

Yes its a cool (toy) but not man enough to lift an SLR camera. If i worked in an office, it would be a great distraction for annoying your fellow workers

 

[Paulster2]

LOL! Yes I could see it now, papers flying everywhere, mass chaos, dogs & cats living together in peace and harmony, the lion & the lamb, ... er ... oh, I guess I'm a bit off track there. Could be fun
