I would be interested in the current draw if anyone runs across it.

When I went freelance after leaving a staff job in news, my Sony Betacam w/lens was over $60k. Tripod, $8k, wireless mics, lighting, etc.. another $25k. Then you needed a Suburban with a cage to cart it all around. I had to mortgage my house to get into the business. So not just any idiot was...

This should be interesting.. http://www.newsradioklbj.com/news/austin-local-news/acevedo-says-drones-dont-fly-austin-especially-during-sxsw http://www.keyetv.com/news/features/featured/stories/apd-chief-sxsw-attendees-do-not-use-drones-our-city-11356.shtml According to the Chief: "They can be...

Does it work? Can you post the new version?
