Depends on how stable it flies, but its the unknown that scares me. It looks nice. I think 30 minute flight times may be overstated.

Look at the price and then think what a bargain your Flamewheel and Naza is.

What I did notice at the show is that every body and his dog is slinging a optical sensor under anything that can get off the ground, with or without a pilot. There's a lot of very cool technology involved with all this. I think the Zenmuse is just the start of it filtering down to our cost levels.

I like the folding arm design. The cost of commercial drones is the reason why we build em ourselves. Now AR Drone made pretty good leaps in keeping the price down. I imagine that their next generation will incorporate GPS and waypoint features.

Typically confusing piece from the BBC ;-) - the guy is not a "Danish enthusiast" but an employee of Resource UAS, a UK company offering UAS training to military and government. The folding quad he's showing is a Huginn X1 from Denmark.
