Title: eye in the sky
Post by: Richard Stevenson on August 26, 2014, 08:39:31 pm
Just bought a drone for my 10 year old, it can travel 100 mtr in any direction and is video eqt (HD), 12 minuets flying time, it could be great for showing potential customers how bad their gutters are, any other sensible ideas, Ps it cost £150 and can record

Someone near me has one and I am amazed how well it fly's as it seems to be able to circle over a couple of streets.

I'm building one at the moment - parts from hobbyking.com & ebay. Mine should be able to carry a 3kg payload and fly for about 20-30 mins depending on payload,.. full GPS & autonomous mission abilities for less than £200!  ;D

if you want to buy off the shelf i got from hameleys toy store in London, but can get them on amazon, unless you work for nassa, then build your own.

They're dead easy to build - its just 4 motors & props (2 counter rotating) a control board, battery & RC unit,..

The Bebop Parrot looks amazing for a budget ready built model though,...
