Hi
I have just been sent from PC world details of a Parot copter with video and camera for £258 plus vat controlled by a mobile phone app.
Has any body used one?

Hi Matt
thanks for that, expensive for a toy that is not going to provide decent images.

Check out what we did at Marconi Sailing Club in Essex with a drone, although it was more expensive than the one mentioned.


It really shows the highlights of the River Blackwater.

a_dowley, thanks very much for posting that link. We were members at MSC in the mid 70s. We knew it was a fabulous place to sail at the time but that footage confirms it. Happy, happy days - thanks.
