i think its illegal to use in in the uk? not sure but there is some sort of law about putting camera's on your models as it come under invasion of privacy. There is a loophole however.

There's a badlands video that would show you what it would be like with multicopters:

....getting above the clouds:
...watching fireworks up above:

I am hooked and I haven't even got one.....yet....

Who cares? That's one of those laws passed to stop dodgy paps and general ne'er-do-wells which restricts the honest too. So I would erect a middle finger to that law and do it without concern, but I suppose if you fly at an official club then they may not allow you. Good job I only fly cheap rubbish foamies in the middle of nowhere.

@kaivalagi - They show off the possibilities. I'd love to see a vid of a couple of warbirds chasing each other close to the ground.

I thought it only counted if you recorded it as it comes under unlicenced CCTV?

Otherwise reversing cameras on cars wojuld be illegal.

Curse you lot, Now you have me browsing this stuff too. I rather like the look of the simple RTF ones: http://quadcopters.co.uk/spy-hawk-fp...z-v3-504-p.asp
electronics are not my strong point, soldering is too much like hard work.

Can't say I really get the appeal of quadcopters. They seem to cane battery and aren't exactly aesthetically cool. I assume their main selling point is they're really stable and automatically handle load adjustments (e.g. cameras!). I'd much rather have a cheap foamy that does 60mph and dive bomb people.

but thats is a public place? as far as i know filming in public doesn't breach anyone's rights but if you stray onto someone else land without permission to film that could change?

i dunno and i too don't care. As far as i care if two people want to sample each others delights in public they give up the right not to be peep'd on

Ahhh! Now it makes sense! GAV = Gratuitous Avid Voyeur.

Just waiting for a reply on what parts I need to get this going.

Nice find, neat build that! The X525 is one of the good ones, I am looking for a spider type frame though

Have a look on goodluckbuy.com or hobbyking.com for a new transmitter / 3s lipo battery and charger to match, I suspect you wont need anything else. The thing already has a control board, motors, speed controllers and a 2.4GHz receiver etc.
