Pretty much. I'm working with a bunch of other frame designers on other various designs.

First thing I thought of was how the hell would you bail off and NOT look like sushi after....

...on "Scream and Fly" there was a guy last weekend that shot some vids and was almost able to keep up with the boats racing up North. I'll see if i can find the vid. Pretty impressive, but not sure what something like that would run cost wise.

There is an app that can be used for some drones to follow you like the Lily.

I had ordered a Dji Inspire 1 pre-order last year and got it early this year. But messing with hunting and it had a bunch of bugs, I put it in the closet until recently. I was tempted to resurrect some of my other helicopters, but didn't feel like working on them.

DJI has the bugs worked out for the most part, so will get out and fly more. Should be fun seeing how the daytime hogs react lol.

That DJI Inspire is a serious drone! That would be the one I would get if I had the cash for it. We need some more drone footage around here. TLM's footage of that tore up field was a good example of being able to get such a great perspective of an area.

The 4k camera files are huge, I uploaded one the other day, only in 1080p and it took 2 hours.

I'm go out now and do a quick flight around the neighborhood and post it up.
