Dear santa...

[Rogalik88]

Lol 10 thousand dollars. Give me 1000 dollars and i'll build the same plane with a camera, maybe without the software...

[ComicPenius]

We looked into this but you virtually need a pilot's license to use it in my country. That made the cost totally off the charts.

[MrRherzog]

Fabuleux !

[deenualhaq]

very good tool to spy on the American bases in Afghanistan and modify firing range and remove the cover of the expected vulnerable rats' holes. yet it might be discovered and shot down cause of its sound. Alittle bit modification will make it perfect.

[spinout182]

that's called busting a mission

[Waderoberthiggins]

2 expensive

ill settle for google earth images

[heroineworshipper]

The blond bombshell would get this up to 3 million views, easy.

[trollking99]

First Mission: Nude Beach!!!

[vidmanx0]

Looks OK but it's useless if you want accurately rectified orthophotos.

[krbosak]

@vidmanx0 "useless if you want accurately rectified orthophotos"

Not true. Sure it is shaking in the wind, but teh key is in processing software. You apply camera triangulation, image mosacking and add 4-8 reference points per sq km and yes a few cm accuracy is possible.

[vidmanx0]

@krbosak Which software is able to do that?

[krbosak]

@vidmanx0 Mosaicking Software in general. Like Enso Mosaic, Leica Photogrammetry Suite.

[vidmanx0]

@krbosak OK. I've tried doing it with ER Mapper but unless you specify the brand and type of lens and have a DEM, the results are only +-2m regardless of how many control points you have.

[5c0u53]

Are you serious ? lol its a cheap combat wing with a hd camera and a gps navigation system ,you might want to look at the rc community weve been doing shit like this for a loong time.

[vidmanx0]

@5c0u53 So why don't you start selling them cheaper? There's certainly demand.

[boydb56]

There's no reason whatsoever for it to be so expensive.

[krbosak]

@boydb56 The reason is complexity and unique knowledge.

[beeftycoon]

were can we buy it and what is the price?

[solcina]

Lo quierooo! A H O R A!

[davidcovo]

Great images, i would love to see hd video and real time broadcast on it.

[jorgevargas22]

OMG quiero uno de estos

[optimist4212]

I WANT ONE

[Mrdochan]

this is so fkin cool!

[barakuda1111]

Its impressive technology but when you hear the price...

I heard its about $10.500

[krbosak]

@barakuda1111 Can you make one less expensive? Anybody can?

[Sardtok]

Wow, I love how the flight plan system looks. The movement reminds me of Boids.

Can the camera be rotated, or would you need to fly the plane upwards to take those angled pictures?

Cause it looks like it could take awesome air shots of buildings. And the example photos show how well it would work for creating highly detailed maps.

[mikegayner]

OMFG so many nublets here. This isn't a toy you retards, it's a tool. Jesus.

[lancesay]

Now we all can be 007.

[ivan357ag]

I can do this without the device. REMOTE VIEWING.

[MrWiwi249]

Is it able to show me live picture? Coz i would like to buy it for airsoft, that could be very useful if it may show me pictures live.

[jetblack2123]

I think I'd have the control laptop booted up before launch.

[Kosackk]

Enemy Spy-plane above!

[rabidowski]

This is so cool, but don't sell it to the "wrong" people!

[venehosting]

and the price is ?

[jacobgotime]

@venehosting A mere $10,600. Sadly...way too much to justify purchasing for most.

[venehosting]

@jacobgotime OMG !

[stdTrancR]

Propeller-heads FTW!

[OpenLovingMan]

Put some light and efficient solar panel on it, tell the gps cordinate, and your ready to send some weed worldwide ; )

[TraustiGeir]

Bond: "Sorry Q, I just ordered one of those online".

[miksuh]

Damn that's cool. I want one of those :)

[NormanSolarSurfer]

Innovative,Urban Planers can reduce the costs of Aerial views with this Technic and Technology, you are in the real aproach of the Optimal use of Energy Sources like the Pioneer Paul Mac Cready and the Aerovironment UAV, RC., Great congratulations.

[TheBetterPeter]

totally awesome!

[surfer2ua]

what is song name?

[stdTrancR]

@surfer2ua Propellerheads - Take California, great track from back in the day

[surfer2ua]

@stdTrancR thanks, cool track!

[DCRNM]

Resolution from 400 feet is about 3 cm. From 2100 feet it is about 12 cm.

[krbosak]

@DCRNM "Resolution from 400 feet is about 3 cm"

But from this altitude you get maybe 500-600 images per sq km.

So often it is better to fly around 300m agl and get 150 images.

[mclaudtt]

Anal slave of mr Jobs detected at 0:55.

[lepermunna]

this is excellent! A quality product.

high five to the sensefly team

[Intranetusa]

The moment was ruined at 0:55

I'm sorry, but James Bond doesn't use Macs.

[GeorgeIsYourMan]

The price tag of $10k is massive and the fact that it has no live feed is a big no-no.

[krbosak]

@GeorgeIsYourMan "the fact that it has no live feed is a big no-no"

what is the purpose of live feed when doing photomapping using unmanned system?

what is teh purpose of adding live feed that would need to be so powerful you would need a special permission to use it commercially?

[caturn88]

Nice one, but it has to have a live feed.

[bronzdragon]

What is the operating time? Could you (perhaps with slight modifications) transmit the photos in real time?

[shadowskimmer]

Price?! USD 10,600 (not including laptop and other accessories and freight)...

[Veolore]

Price?

[Martr0x]

"SHAKE FOR TAKE OFF !"

[jtzproductions]

OUR UAV IS ONLINE!

[mascotbeaver104]

@jtzproductions ur a fag

[moremost]

James Bond loves it. And China, too!

[groovelv]

Well 12MP seems impresive, but i still have doubts about the quality. We all know mobile phone cameras ar no good compared to regular cameras. It's all about lenses and stuff.

[iAmirx]

I thought it would be like a military-like UAV where you can control the camera and zoom in and out ^^

But this is alright =)

[BACON2369]

@iAmirx They will modify it to your needs. You can even have diff cams built in.

[groovelv]

Kinda cool, but what is the resolution of the pictures?

[krrh]

@groovelv on the website they say 12MP

[TheRubenable]

Thats pretty awesome, but there is such a thing as google earth.

[beachnative420]

@TheRubenable Yeah but this gives real time data not months old captures. This is going to be huge for farmers and remote sensing.

[VisionduCiel]

cette vidéo me fait penser au drone Cyclope développé par Vision du Ciel il ya quelques années....

[krbosak]

@VisionduCiel

In the same ballpark: Pteryx UAV, Cropcam, 3S Evolution...

[krbosak]

@krbosak and probably Fly-n-sense SEEKER FNS 900

[VisionduCiel]

@krbosak :Pas obliger de reprendre le scénario image par image de vos confréres. De la créativité que diable...

[uranius97]

awesome

great video!

[uranius97]

how much is it?

[wallaguest1]

@uranius97 its 9000$

[Feanic]

@wallaguest1

that's why they don't mention it on the website!
