RE: Fotokite (drone) - No Pilot Skills Required - CNN & BBC are using this
Nice hunt @edje!
This drone looks like an awesome product to travel with due to being only 1.37lbs with the camera on it.
I've always wanted to have a go with these things but, they seem to be notoriously difficult to control for an amateur, like me.
Unlimited flying time when tethered, which is a huge bonus for most pilots, I would think.
If it's good enough for TV channels, then it's good enough for me!
I wonder how much this is going to be to buy?
One of the disadvantages is that it may have less freedom in the air due to the rope, but as can be seen in the video, the drone can be set static in the air + the rope gives all the advantages mentioned incl the way to manouvre the drone. Cost: I think I read somewhere it cost like 500/600$ but best is to get then an offer; Link is provided on their website.
