@Sarundus "...I think 7500 € is a bit too much "

It is a tool for professionals. You must get a reason to buy one: a good businessplan and pick the tool carefully..

Not happy when landing on gravel or hard surface...

@jairoblaster From the company product video also here, it seems a standard remote control is included, so I guess that solves the problem. Although I guess it also means in theory you are not supposed to let it fly out of sight.

Way out of our league. What else was in the video? Some kind of aircraft?

@jairoblaster Actually they are flying regularly over city centers in Switzerland, like Geneve. Not really sure if it is G class airspace, see r-pod blog.

You do realize that this is not legal to fly in the U.S., It must have a way to control it from the ground via line of sight (not GPS). If you would like some help making this thing legal in the US let me know I would be glad to consult with you.

Oh, and does it require photo stitching/ortho software or is it included. Thanks.
