We never stop reading, although every book comes to an end, just as we never stop living, although death is certain. (Roberto Bolaño)

Absolutely stunning! I'd love to see these in person. Do.... you have one? or any experience with them?

Cool :D I couldn't believe the figure 8 patterns they were doing in the first video.
I saw this promotional video for Star Trek:Into Darkness a while back. I think there using the same kind of flying devices. They did a Star Trek display with them outdoors next to London Bridge during Earth Hour.
Here's a link to the video: http://youtu.be/5x2N5XNQ_WU

You're right! The more I look, the more of these things I find. There are blogs and user groups everywhere for these things in an almost infinite variety of sizes and camera resolution. Amazing stuff!

Yet another great use of a quadrotor.

Say hello to the UAVs of tomorrow.

I seem to recall that you loaned it to Jed.

I'll bet he'd help you out. Pesky little varmits.
