wow! The test flight video with Adam Savage was very good and the fact the there is a voice (G4's?) stating the limits was very good & cool! Congrats and I hope to see some really cool video what would really be cool is to have a second operator with you on the new one and a third person operating your quad and take movies AND have some shots of each one taking movies of the other.

Hmmm, see your second comment on that last image my dear ;) Oh, you'll be able to get some very nice aerial shots of landscapes and sunsets/rises with this Rod. I'd watched the volcano in Iceland one. That's amazing footage. Must have been pretty hot up there!

Well doesn't look like a face guard.

Now that looks like a machine for a Star Wars Empire Trooper. Just look at that robust machine. It looks massive next to the Phantom.

SUPER COOL THANKS FOR SHARING ROD

Wow! That was your cool droid chopper?! It's Spartan looking!

ROFL - What an Idea!!!

Well, it does vibrate but I don't think it makes French Toast (LOL). I guess I'll have to start drawing my curtains at night and probably in the daytime, too!!! Nice lookin' toy, Rod.

I think I was right too.. it's just the MK I version of the Federation Droid... Really cool toy Rod!

Great investment for the future Rod....Really like viewing the erupting volcano..

Yes I know a man who brought a small one of these Still cashes all the time I don't think that 7mins is long not much time for an sports video or any thing like that When I was doing Wedding videos it would have been nice for a few over head shots But I stopped all that when I became ill radioham

i had an idea it was for you puter or chopper, just did not nail it. can't wait to see what this will do, Rod.

It looks like it came from Star Wars. Congratulations on your new toy and I hope it opens the door to fabulous new opportunities.

Wow Rod, this one is even bigger than you're first one.

I should have known you mad devil you !!!!

Ahh, so cool Rob. Does it deliver beer? lol. Super toy! Cheers!

Fantastic dromes and very great shots my friend !!!

That's cool Rod. I can't wait to see some results. You should get some crazy snow pics in obscure areas before it all melts.

This so cool. Congratulation my friend. You have got a fantastic tool to play with. Looking forward to loads of pictures and videos. Set up a free Vimeo accaount. Best way to show your videos.

I had no idea as to what the model implied not being knowledgeable on drones. really a great drone and I look forward to seeing the results

COOL!!!!... great looking new drone! and she's even bigger than the phantom!! Oh I can't wait to see the videos from this drone... Watched the videos, that drone is cool, and fast!! would like one but to much for me right now!!... plus I'd never be able to use it... Ranpha would confiscate it and do who knows what to it.. Great new toy, and I can see you'll be very busy flying this all over the place!! just don't forget about the TNA girls...

dont dare send any into the spackoine airspace,we have installed airdefense,we dont want privy azzes to spy upon us,this is no joke!!!

From here, even a fly must have a flying license to get from one point to another. That why they stay in the public toilets, anymore... And about the few "outlaw" drones wich are flying, the government is thinking on how to "kill" them (water canon, paintball or what...) But at this time, they don't know how to let them stay up in the air while they are shot... :-p

How does it handle when hawks attack it? I've seen YouTube videos... Good luck with this new adventure.

We have a lot of red-tailed hawks in this part of the country - and I've had them take an interest in my Phantom a few times, but they've never attacked it. I usually bring it down when they get too interested. If a hawk was to get into those props, both bird and drone are gonna come down, and rather quickly! I don't want to crash a drone (they're a bit pricey), but I don't want to hurt the raptor, either. The Inspire is bigger, and a bit more imposing than the Phantom - and it'll do 60 MPH in a pinch. It flew for the first time today, and I did see a hawk flying nearby. But apparently the hawk wasn't interested (or was a bit intimidated by the large, buzzing thing), and flew off in the opposite direction, leaving that bit of the sky to me. :-D

Ah! One of those.. These things are now banned from al;l Royal Parks and open spaces in London.. Also within a certain distance of any operating airport as some di** heads decided to fly one these into Heathrow airspace nearly causing a crash.. I can't believe they are legal, in today's world.. Any terrorist can get one fly in near whatever with a camera and there, he has all the pictures he needs without going near it.. I mean, seriously? Idea great! Reality stupid. Neat shot Rod, honestly nothing against you.. Rob

As with any new or existing technology, there will be those who abuse it. Look at computers... Hardly a day goes by where you don't read about some bank, movie studio, credit bureau, or even intelligence agency being hacked by one of the unwashed underbelly of society. And there are always a few idiots that, apparently, were born without the least semblance of common sense who will do stupid things just because they can. You DON'T fly these things around airports or anywhere else a full-size, manned aircraft is likely to operate. Any normal 4th-grader is smart enough to know that. You don't fly over a football stadium packed with 20,000 people. You damn sure don't fly over a military installation. Just plain common sense - and the sad thing is it's the idiots that do stupid stuff that f##k it up for the rest of us who want to use this technology for creative purposes. And if we pack up our drones, out model airplanes, our cameras, our computers, our guns, or whatever else we enjoy doing just because "the terrorists might..." then the terrorists have already won.

Now THAT is a 'big-boy's toy'! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

.... much easier than crawling around roof tops :) thx for sharing !
