that's right kids! a go-pro wielding quad-rotor that follows you around. I'm not sure the top speed, but this is still pretty cool. if anyone wants to get me one for christmas, i'll come give you a hug.

I really want to see someone using one of these things in vlog format!
also, if anyone wants to get me one, i'll give you a hug! and some cookies! i make some pretty okay cookies.

I want more than OK cookies if I'm buying you a heli

that's just for the americans. what about some biscuits and tea? i'm not sure about the transaction rate of american cookies to english biscuits though, so it might just end up with beer. maybe TWO beers

 

[Lurch]

Cookies are good, I'd just want outstanding cookies not OK cookies, OK sounds average!

 

[wolfxandxcrow]

well, i'm not so sure about the quality of the helicopter. i'm pretty sure it'll be okay. i could facilitate some amazing cookies though. maybe even some shaped like dinosaurs!

 

[Lurch]

Dinosaur cookies! Awesome!!

I've got a regular RC heli, but im rubbish as a pilot to even keep the thing airborne let alone follow a bike.

 

[wolfxandxcrow]

i've got a mini quad and it's not super easy. that's the beauty of this machine, it follows you. there's a little wristband you wear and it follows and changes elevation and angle. you can also give it pre set paths to follow. ei: dramatic swooping shots of you leaning on your bike, smoking a cigar, holding automatic weapons in each hand with katanas on your back and ground fx leds under your bike.

bikini models/explosions can be added depending on local attractiveness and location of explosions.

When these are sub $600 I'm definitely on board for getting one of these!

 

[TWUK]

I agree, once these are a little more mainstream and cheaper in price it'd be something I'd think about for sure

Yeah, he better lend his gf for the weekend. If he's single, we'll take his mother instead.

 

[Nerb]

$1295 is still a pretty good price I think! You can buy quads a lot more expensive than that.

It's a shame this is illegal in most of the world, you could only really use it in private areas.

I might just try and make one of my own.

Always enjoy having a project. I've got a desk fan and one of those robot vacuum cleaners. Prepare for the first prototype....

The funny thing is, I really was actually thinking about the possibility of such a product just this morning over my coffee! Mainly because I thought it could make my videos look cooler, not because of any real delusions about being able to do on a €0 budget!!

 

[SwissMotard]

My girlfriend thought this was really cool but told me I could never get one

She tells me the authorities would go berserk.

 

[Lurch]

You chose to move to Switzerland! So are all model aircraft banned in CH?

 

[SwissMotard]

In public areas yes, although it's the same on the UK roads anyway it seems.

 

[Lurch]

Er, nope, loads of model aircraft clubs are near public roads. As to flying along a road I don't know, but flying over the hedgerow wouldn't be on the road.
