I think they got impatient to prove the concept and forgot to understand that good pictures result from good light.

The emphasis was on flying not on looking

I wonder if some people saw this and wondered what was happening?

Very cool.

No, the emphasis was on seeing how far out they could control the RC and how close to the landmarks they could get without being arrested. Stand by certain public works or high security buildings with a camera and see how fast the cops get there.

Plus, it just looks cool. I tried doing that with a kite but couldn't get the camera to work. FYI, just pics of my house, truthfully, just pics of my house.

Won’t disagree with that.

As i typed, I was thinking of the Federales and drones and drug cartels. The Federales need a drone with camera and rockets to follow and take pot the cartel leaders a la’ Taliban in Pakistan
