Basically a drone that will follow it's owner around, filming them from above. The link above will start at the good stuff.

Oh and look... a use for a smartwatch at last (looks like you can control it from one).

Who wants one?!

That's going at the top of my list to Santa.

Before you get too excited... it has no collision avoidance so don't bank on this following you through lush single track. I would imagine if you told it to stay close it would be great in a lot of MTB situations.

Before you know it these things will be cheap as chips and everywhere Smiling

It'd be a race to see who crashed first, me or the drone!

I think they're great, much better than watching POV gopro videos.

I did but got done by ACCC for false advertising Sad

Anyway just do a quick search on "How to hack a drone" already software available Eye-wink
For example - http://www.tomsguide.com/us/skyjack-hacks-drones...

But the shotgun may be as much fun.
