Nice!

Of course it would suck if a Mortar took out the Drone!

What surprised me was that drone with articulating camera mount is under $1K.

$1358 w/ GoPro 3+ http://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-Ze...om+2+vision%2B

A video screen to monitor flight w/ upgraded controller would be a must have IMO. Add another $580. http://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-Fl...K3PWEYH20N1H6A

It would suck even more if the Drone took out an airplane.

The kid's had an AR Drone for 5 years or so.........

Being able to pack a camera would be entertaining..........there's this nekkid beach on the river about 2 miles from the house that should be surveilled. LOL
