Toys for boys......and girls too judging by the audience. Who wouldn't want one of these?

Sorry about that VidasParalelas. Maybe when you have access to a PC or something like it. It's worth it. It's very interesting.

I can watch it. I found it by searching for "quadcopters" on my YouTube app. For some reason I can't open YouTube videos through Gayspeak.

That Ted Talk video is very cool.

You tried installing the firefox app on phone, then you go into the app-ons part and add the youtube add on.


I'm thinking of getting a quadcopter so I can look at things I cant get too, I mean like if I go to a castle I cant get up the stairs so I just sand in the quadcopter to go look for me with a camera streaming images back to me.

I'd love one but they don't come cheap:

I can get one for about £300 with a cheap camera in it, but I think I would replace the camera with the Mobius ActionCam which you can get for about £50 but you need to find away of streaming the video live, you can do this with a Dragan Eye™ Wireless Video System or other sort of thing lol! Not sure how much they are though.

But there are other cheaper ways of doing this though

Yes, there's always the DIY route:

I just like the idea of using them to see things that I cant any more.

We use them at car show/meets as well.
