Raydek Posted January 15, 2014 Share After seeing a gopro mounted to a drone at a music festival taking shots, I thought it would be rather cool if you could launch one and it follows you riding. Seems someone thought of it already and will be available later this year. Either app controlled, follows a predetermined course plotted on google maps or tracks your smart phone at a set distance. How awesome. They just need to work on battery life and also maybe proximity sensors for when trees etc pop up. http://singularityhub.com/2014/01/14/airdroids-markets-a-pocket-drone-for-the-everyman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthToffee Posted January 15, 2014 Share If you are interested in this, call Waiman at Aertech. they have all the latest equipments. battery life however, won't last for commercial available drones. www.aertechsa.com Raydek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthToffee Posted January 15, 2014 Share Aertech did a shoot on some road riding. It wasn't the whole ride but they had several drones rotating and switching batteries and had some amazing shots. GPS mapping and routing is available as well, they have bigger drones that carries cameras that can adapt to zooming lenses. I think some footage is on the website.
