Ed,
Do you live in a drone zone?

What are these experiences? I had an rc plane I built as a teenager, but never flew it. A year ago I was infatuated with a particular rc car, but got distracted and didn't pull the trigger buying (baja 5b).
There are some stories about the drone I linked when the batteries are low not responding....
Also, the drone is more than the camera.

Already done.

Crooow:This music would work better with women in bikinis shaking all over the place. I guess that's true of any music really.
My primary uses would include:
1. Surveying 40 acres of my mining claims.
2. Video showcasing the log home projects I've completed for business advertising purposes.
3. Filming difficult cruxes on Jeep adventures from a new perspective.
4. Maybe buzz one down the river to see if anyone's squatting on my favorite bend?

I think it was designed from the beginning to fit the gopro. There are gimbal attachments available as well to stabilize the camera so the recording is level. There's tons of youtube videos of it in action... search "DJI Phantom"
There is even an accessory where you can wear these goggles with screens built in and view via the gopro (virtual reality).
My wish list is chocked full of childish adult toys like this.
A friend of mine used one of those for a fishing film he made about WI. Right at the 10 second mark and again at 1:18
