Don't know. He has other videos posted under the same user name, and I recall on one there was a remark about 25 mph winds at the time. I glanced at it and the video seemed quite stable. Dan On Aug 29, 2014, at 11:20 PM, Craig diese...@pisquared.net wrote: On Fri, 29 Aug 2014 09:52:53

The prices have already dropped. The Phantom is the top of the line for consumer grade camera platforms. 5 years ago you were looking at $30,000 for something half as good. Its a large copter, not a child's toy. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android ___

Too bad he wasn't flying it yesterday. We had Homeland Security and the Coasties all over the place. They were installing a new commander at SOCOM yesterday and the festivities were at the Convention Center, which is just a few blocks away on the water. Several black helicopters in the area.
