There is always going to be the first person to do something, but fancy doing this.

I watched that earlier today,someone mailed it to me, its ok'ish but in reality all he did was hang on for a while then drop, I think it says more about the weight lifting abilities of the drone. :smile:

I bet that cost a penny or two.
I did not realize how many drones are used these days for so many tv programmes, and the wildlife programmes, they have made them so much better.

I am getting a basic model, its just over £1200 but if you get one of the Hobbyist drone magazines people are buying them for £17000 and suchlike :yikes:

A few years ago when these helicopters were all the rage, my eldest grandson wanted one and we brought him one, and could he control it, AMAZING. Me, well it crashed everytime.
I know these new drones are way ahead of those early helicopters and they can hover so much better.
When we were in Ronda, Spain this chap had one and it was in the gorge, the pictures on his screen were amazing too.
