Yup. You have a headset and a controller. There's a live camera right on the quad. They're called FPV drones or quads for "first person view". Some are the size of your hand and only do 5-10mph, and there are others like my 5" prop ones (about 14" overall) that does 50mph.

Haha. Yeah my bad

 

@Fitzwilly you might actually like the fixed wing fpv. Remind me later to dig up a good video of that. Might be right up your alley

 

That's sweet. What kind of range can you get with those?

 

The normal ones, a couple of football fields or so. The long range stuff.... Out there

 

You got me looking at the “follow” me drones now... I may just get that new GoPro with hyper lapse to make some woodworking tutorials and hit it big...

 

@Fitzwilly just a teaser. I can find a better video later. But basically these have 2 cameras. A go pro like one, and a first person view one that feeds back to a headset so you fly it way out

Meh, kinda dizzying and I get bored easily.

The parrot anafi looks pretty cool with features that could make money. (I have a lot of realtor friends)

 

Was ferrying a 300+lb material lift through the airport last night. If you're familiar with material lifts, you'll know that they're easy to move around once they're up, but particularly heavy ones like this are a pain to get back up off the ground without help.

Anyways, a passenger decides that I'm the guy to ask for directions to the curbside pick up. Airport rules require me to be polite and friendly and help when anyone asks and I'm normally more than happy to do so, but I was dumbfounded at the predicament this guy was putting me in as I was walking down an incline in the opposite direction he was going with this three hundred pound lift. I told him yes, I could help him, and kept walking away to his own bewilderment. "So are you gonna help me?" he asks, while I'm thinking in my head, 'Yes motherfucker, make with the question.'

Worst part was he was in one of the simplest Terminals we have at Phoenix. There is one concourse and one Terminal area. Had he literally just walked around at all he would've found his way, but he gave up as soon as he got off the plane and decided to make my night interesting.
