Had a spare half hour this morning so I had a quick stab at shooting my Christmas present. It's sort of fun but I'll get very bored with it in no time and the cats loath it :laughing:

I played with my dad's RC helicopter over my Christmas vacation. A week later and it is still amusing, may just have to buy one. The blue in the photo works out pretty good. Interesting photo.

I like your toning, is it selenium or cynaotype? I always had you pegged as a "black opps" type of guy, and now you show up here with a freaking drone. Is it powerful enough to lift a D700?:D

Those things can be a ton-o-fun but one does tire of it after a while.

That IS the question .. would make for some interesting areal photography ...

Don't know about a D700, but it would be cool to attach a GoPro to it.

It lifted a full can of beer briefly. It comes with two 720p cameras built in, one looks ahead while the other looks straight down. It's flown using a control app downloadable from Apple or the Adroid folks. I loath it for the fact that it takes two hours to charge for a ten minute flight time. The image I took of it was really easy as once you assign it a level, take your hands off the controls, it remains more or less parked where you left it. Just grab a wide lens, throw a flash off the ceiling and...Zam! I tried a few shutter speed combos but never got a decent blur from the props :shrug:

Cool shot - we'd love to see it flying though ;)

I actually returned it, kicked in another eight hundred to buy a new Onkyo receiver. never really thought of doing a video capture while I had it.
