Wow that's impressive .... can't see Michael on his rock though.
Does this new fangled thingy mean we are all redundant, no need to stand on cold piers and docksides, can be remotely controlled from the sitting rooms of Acklam and Hebburn?

Any idea how big that device is?

[Patrick Hill]

this big...

What does it cost (in case it flies off into the oggin)?

[Patrick Hill]

Without camera £459.

That is truly amazing. Thanks Patrick. We could even use it to take out the Taliban hiding in rural Hull.

As far as I can see there is no remote viewing station, so taking pictures must be difficult. Was the photo of the South Gare a "still" extracted from a movie?

Cute piece of kit!

I like the way it says:-

'Built in Failsafe - Return to Home and Landing Feature. Intelligent Orientation Control and Position Hold, makes the DJI Phantom a very popular choice for a entry level machine packed with so much technology.'

Not sure how sensible it was flying it over the South Gare when you consider the problem Les C had with the Local Constabulary for daring to point his Camera in the general direction of the Power Station.
