    Very popular indeed. Price is a bit hefty $40M tho.



    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    I had thought of the footage you could get along somewhere like the west coastline could be interesting. Flying one around an urban area would be a receipe for disaster. Like many toys, after 6 months and a few crashes, it would probably end up on a shelf in the garage unless you had a specific purpose for one.

    Unfortunately it's the dickhead minority who are responsible for causing the draconian rules.

    Those big fast repeating paint-ball guns would be interesting as an anti-drone ack ack experience! - - -

    That reminds me of something else. Can't put my finger on it.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Just typed in "shooting down drones" on you tube, returned 18,900 results. I presume most would be about military type drones.

    Here's a drone clip for all you perverts.

    Dan doesn't piss around with skirt-wearing paintball types.


    This isn't one of the better ones...

    I have been flying and filming with multirotors for a few years now. I currently have two Dji phantoms with gopros and gimbals and was just about to buy the latest model when the CAA NZ came out with with it's latest rules, which are just about the strictest in the free world.

    You cannot now legally fly over public property, private property, at night, out of sight, without permission, yada yada yada. A total knee jerk, power Nazi, over reaction to a minuscule problem here in NZ.

    If you are still interested despite all the 'legislate and fuck em' bollocks above, it is a great little hobby and a couple of hundred $ will get you something simple and robust to practice with.

    My personal favourite is the DJI Phantom3 advanced, amazing technology but easy to fly. None of these 'drones' are fool proof however, if you're keen, research online owners groups for all the info you'll ever need.

    Cheers
    Oh bugger

    But .... NO legislation to say you cannot shoot them down if one overflys your property.
