I still keep coming back to this quote from Hexacopters
http://hexacopters.com/
No doubt that these will eventually be used for military applications.
That said, they might actually level the battle field quite a bit.
Citizens fighting against better-funded oppressive regimes could
certainly pester their enemy with this technology. (Imagine a swarm of
these things descending on your location with five pounds of explosives
strapped to each one of them!!) ...More than 10,000 radio / GPS
controlled hexacopters could be purchased for the price of just one
"conventional" attack helicopter.

I was fantasizing about a remotely-controlled flying object with a
camera when I was in the middle school. With the recent developments and
growing availability of quadcoptres such as DJI Phantom, Storm Drone,
Blade 350, Parrot, etc, I've been thinking about getting one, but it will
probably take some time until I do. (Not having much available time is
one of the factors. I am also concerned how robust they are.)
I wonder if any PDMLers have already used any quadcopter+camera
combination, and if so, - what do you think about it.
