J G 927 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Now that is cool! I cant see a price anywhere. Is that because if you have to ask the price, you cant afford one? Link to post Share on other sites
MyPC8MyBrain 273 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 agreed, the coolest UAV I’ve seen to date! if you scroll halfway down on their Kickstarter page you will see the full specs as well as suggested pricing (reward) they refer to it as reward, the basic reward is $479 they have several “reward” packages all the way up to $2859 for the complete prototype with all add-ons Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Wow that is awesome! The Kickstarter page says that funding was cancelled, does that mean the project has been dropped? They seemed to have exceeded their target by a factor of 2.5 :/ Link to post Share on other sites
MyPC8MyBrain 273 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 i think it was canceled because they pulled 250% what they were looking to raise in a very short time i guess their bank manager reconsidered their loan application 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Damn...now anyone can be a covert drone Private Investigator with one of these babies. I am especially enamored of the Live Video Streaming, which enables one to operate it "around corners"/"other side of the building"...true Remote Piloting capability there.

J G 927 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 At today's rate the Kickstarter basic package is £298. I would rather have the Kickstarter with the ability to transition to normal winged flight for £50 more. Also, once the basic package is safely acquired, then what to have for birthdays and Christmas is sorted for a while. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
