    Good the see the Gent in the W2RE video being 100% tied off while he was climbing the tower. Don't see that very often on amateur related tower work. Nice video...

    How do they know where the camera is looking? I see on Amazon, it seems the controller has a smart phone attached. Probably wifi connected to the drone.

    Is there another way of live viewing without a smart phone since I do not have one, a smart phone I mean.

    Predator and reaper drones openly broadcast video feeds.Skygrabber software and a receiver.however this may be a encrypted signal now.? maybe a way around that too.:cool:

    THey use a wireless video data link. Many of the drones are billed as FPV or first person view. Pilots eye view from the drone to your googles or a small screen. THe integration of technology is incredible in just a few years.

    Some controllers have a video screen . Also there are goggles that let you see everything the camera sees. Getting to be pretty standard now. Our son is pretty heavy into the RC helicopters. Drone is not the right term to use. Just RC Controlled Helos.

    Yes. There are a few alternatives depending on the sophistication / size of the drone, but the most common is a 2.4 GHz link with the drone to a dedicated monitor (generally in the 7 inch size) connected to a R/C video transceiver.
    The aircraft you see in these videos are drones, specifically quadracopters (4 bladed), but there are even larger configurations (6 blade, etc). Helicopters have a different configuration, having a main and tail rotor.

    Please do post your good crashes also.

    That is about the only cool Video I have been able to record.


    You have to spend $1000 + to get out of the Toy range.

    This is one of the most impressive quadcopter videos I have ever seen.

    (a drone is an Air Force aircraft that carries weapons).
