Parrot iPod-Controlled Quadricopter Launches This Week
"Remote-controlled helicopters are not new, but Parrot's AR.Drone Quadricopter is set to make a splash when it goes on sale on Sept. 9th. It will use an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad as a controller, and give a live video feed from two different cameras to the pilot. Each model comes with two hulls, one of them for indoor use, with protective loops around the rotors. The device creates its own Wi-Fi network, which the iOS device connects to in order to control the Quadricopter."
You get the idea. I want one of these to spy on my neighbors and the boom boom people next door. Is that in the product description? I want the device to go where I cannot, over high fences and scan from roof top level the things that people behind those high fences do not want me to see. I want to use it to enforce zoning laws and and to make sure I know who's car is parked next door.
Someone buy one of these, or a better model that comes out next year and learn how to fly it. Then, learn how to hook it up to a laptop and extend the range. Then we need one that will carry a payload. Oh, wait. Here we go.
IF the police can use them, I want the right to use them.
She has the right idea. Lousy video quality in my book, but still, on track.
More along the right idea here. Notice the bad wavy video. That is vibration talking. We will need to add stabilization to the list of requirements.
Note to people who are making RC videos. If all you are going to hear is "EEIIEEIIEEIIEEIIRRRREEIIEEIIEEIIEEII!!!!!" please dub the sound.
UPDATE
This guy seems to have his shit together on the subject.
