oops missed that part bhai…..
fantastic idea
v gud for surveillance and reaching in some narrow places and during terrorist attacks and before raiding by cops and cbi
i’l use it for filming.. how others are going to use this gadget please share your thoughts
by the way will it work on ground also if required? in one of the videos on youtube it hit some object while flying and fell on the ground it couldnt move until somebody came and turned it over
also came across this video seems no control
I had already been drooling over it since long
@dudu, even I’m hoping for the price to reduce further, but for now I think this shud be the lowest unless the mods find a better link
I had also posted this around a month ago in the dd contest

@hii.satya62- I think they took it too high or maybe the device they used went out of the wifi range There should be a limit i think, he probably thought he’s flying a kite!
@hii.satya62
