Tracking Drone Camera

Post by steve_weegie » Fri May 15, 2015 11:14 am

This thing looks farking amazing! I wonder how well it tracks in reality, but having that thing videoing me scooting down a run in the alps is appealing....

I want one!

Watch on YouTube

20 minute battery life seems the only 'downside', but I'd imagine you could buy a spare as backup?

Was wondering that too..... might keep up with an S2 I'spose, but doubt it would work with an S1. :lol:

Could be good for some autotest footage.

£317 for pre order before June 15th, £635 after that. Cancellation with refund upto release date. Fixed battery so you can not change it. Import charges, VAT etc will be on top unless Andy etc bring one back.

Anybody going to go for a punt?
