What is the drone capable of?

Looks totally cool!

Has a GoPro mount underneath for aerial video/photography

. Coolest toy ever! Still practising operating it and dampening the vibrations for video.

Just because I recently posted the UAV, but first shot from it this morning in Bristol. Pretty cool!

You robbing banks lately, Jonney?

I have a couple of bits of paperwork to sort out and soon I'll own a 24-70mkii and the 70-200 2.8 mkii. Oh, and a house

Where do you get those from and how much? I have a cunning plan

Russinating · 13 Nov 2013 at 20:29

Anywhere, ie Amazon, for ~£350. Bargain! Plus the GoPro etc obviously.

ElDude · 13 Nov 2013 at 20:33

Hmm, that's doable but a lot for a novelty item. I'll borrow yours

As there are a few small fields and areas of grass around here, and it'd be interesting to take some photos of the area. There's a couple of people doing books on the area at the moment. I'm not sure I'd make enough back on the images to warrant £350 though. Still I'll keep it in mind after I've bought the other bits I need

Flight time?

Russinating · 13 Nov 2013 at 21:56

Seems to be about 6-10 minutes per charge when carrying a GoPro. Recharge is about 1h 30m. We've just bought two spares so can cycle between 3 for now.
