Default Wow!

Steve's video on youtube is Drone Flight Central Florida.

Steve the stability is excellent and the lens resolution is incredible! What a great video.

Because of my mobility issues I haven't yet gotten down to the Polo Grounds to meet some of the fliers, but I hope to be able to do so sometime in the future.

Many years ago I worked in the Technical Surveillance area of the Sheriff's Office in Tampa. At one of the annual Technical Officer Conventions they demonstrated an aerial surveillance helicopter which was a simple R/C hobbist's helicopter with a small camera and transmitter attached.

It's proposed use was for SWAT units to get a peek at barricaded suspects. It was somewhat capable, but what you have done is the difference in a Model T and a Maserati.

Really impressive.
