Nice footage but I didn't really like the editing. On a side not, damn $900 and it can fly 22 minutes. That sounds very little, I hope this things will improve

On a side not, damn $900 and it can fly 22 minutes. That sounds very little, I hope this things will improve soon they sound amazingly fun!
- dmd 13y agoI would have said "damn, $900, and it can fly 22 minutes!". That seems like a hell of a lot to me, based on what was possible just a few years ago.
- nikster 13y ago22 minutes is a really long time for a drone. As for $900 - it survived getting way too close to an active volcano... this is good stuff.
- jccooper 13y ago22 minutes is quite good. 7 is about normal. Even on the larger ones, you don't often see >10 min. Actually, the Phantom 2 is said to go 25-30 minutes, but perhaps that's without payload. This fellow went all-out to get 97 minutes: http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/my-97minute-06second-record-quadcopter-flight http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/my-97minute-06second...
- Florin_Andrei 13y agoThat's actually not bad. The amounts of energy required for powered flight are stupendous. It won't even be near that if it weren't for Li-Ion batteries.
