If you don't believe all the talk, could I suggest you go to the Balloon Forum on RCU, they talk about everything! How to Inflate, How much Pressure, What Size, How much String? a whole bunch of good information. You can read it when you are out in the Desert all by yourself, then there is nobody to Whine too! Except a Jack Rabbet or two.
Sip on your cool clear water, then add 1 shot of JD, on the second drink, use 2 shots on the third drink, then after that, who cares? Add JD as needed, then you can forget about Drones, and sleep, passed out under your truck or whatever you rode out there in, if it was a Camel, don't give him any JD, or you're in big trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, oneaew, now tell us all why we are a bunch of talkers, Duh? That is what Forums are for, to talk about things.

I'm now so convinced that the drone game will grow to unbelievable numbers. It has not yet peaked for the R/C Toy crowed but it will and people will become tired with them. Now the commercial aspect i.e. drones for hire will only grow as many organizations from fire, police, traffic watch and control, video by all kinds of by movie producers even by the DNR and all sorts of law enforcement. Drones as the become more sifistacated and larger with greater lifting capacity and longer flight times even more uses will be found for them replacing maned copters and planes. I believe this will bring about a better understanding by the public, FAA/NTSB and all types of operators and enthouist alike as to what when and where these craft may be flown. Then this forum will become a MOOT point.

Speaking for myself, I don't fly my DJI Phantom nearly as much now as I did a year ago when I got it. The 'new' has kind of worn off, and frankly, it's a little boring to fly. I would suspect there are other 'drone' flyers out there that have probably reached the same place. So, it mostly sits on the shelf now, I take it to the field in case a club bubba loses a plane in the woods and an eye in the sky might help locate it. I sometimes fly just off the shore line to fish spot and see if it's worth getting the kayak out.

I was putting in a little humor, nothing serious. Oneaew,, I was just kidding around , we would just like to hear why you make statements but never explain why. I guess you really don't need to explain if you don't want too.

Apologies if I have posted this before ... but, it's such a positive spin on the whole "drone" thing.
This is a "kickstarter" ad for the manufacturers of Lily ... a semi-autonomous quad.
I think it's fantastic.

One of the local hobby shops around here (because five others have gone out of business in the last four years) can't keep the drones on their shelf. Most of the customers pre-order the drones just to make sure they get one when it arrives at the hobby shop.
The drone market has taken off!

I use the descriptor "interesting/scary" for the reason that as a photographer's tool , this IS the most interesting development in photography since the elimination of conventional film . The scary part , to me , is of course the removal of the "RC" aspect . I don't know about you , but my hobby is the remote piloting of miniature aircraft by my own hand , in real time , with no autonomous operation .
This is a truly great camera platform and I applaud it's development for the photography hobby . BUT ! In no way no how , is this even remotely (HA ! little pun there) associated with the hobby I engage in and as these flying cameras become more and more autonomous they become less and less related to the hobby of remotely piloting miniature models of real aircraft .
I wonder how these are being received at the mainstream photography forums ? Since they have far more to do with photography than the RC hobby , I'd love to hear what a few photographers who aren't RCers think of them .

I am confident that LILY will have huge appeal.
I'm a kayaker, myself ... it appeals to me.
But, cyclists, climbers, surfers, trail riders, anyone who enjoys the outdoors ... could find pleasure in one of these. How about wedding videos and Estate sales?
Sure, it has little to do with model flying. I'm like you, in that I'm not interested in autonomous systems per se. LILY is just a great tool, afaics.

I was reading about the image stabilisation ... which is achieved without moving parts.
Apparently, the camera takes a wide image, then crops away all the extraneous bits, such that the subject always remains in the centre of the shot.
Does that make sense?

I was determined to not be the stereotypical old guy who needs a youngster to stop the clock on the VCR from blinking "12:00" forever because the right time isn't set on it . As such , I have followed along with modern tech and once the whole menu driven operational choices thing is mastered , it's a piece of cake . I do tend to think cars (real ones , full size) are getting a bit too smart for their own good , but that's only cause I worry about seeing folks driving along looking at that little GPS screen built into the dash of the newest cars , rather than looking at the road . I guess I like the tech better than I like the way some folks use it ....

The reality is , their heirs have been ripped off for an outrageous amount of money to keep frozen a couple of chunks of dead meat that ain't ever coming back .
Oh , and , if it's only the heads , where did they think the new body was going to come from ? Sure , heard of organ donation , but body donation ?
Screw it , better off to keep talkin bout oneaew's dreaded drones ... The dreaded drones , sounds like a good name for a rock band .....

Somewhere in this menage someone proclaims Lilly is not a model by virtue of not having a human in direct radio control of it...made me wonder, if it had the shape of an Extra 260 would it then be a model???
