aerial shots of Lane Stadium from today
Fortunately I got onto campus just before it started raining today.

That would be cool. Since I forgot my parachute, I just used my quadcopter to take the photos before checking into the hotel.

That's really neat. How high do you think that is? Looks well over 500ft .

Re: aerial shots of Lane Stadium from today
I get real-time telemetry data including altitude (relative to starting point) but I don't remember exactly how high the quadcopter was when those pictures were taken. Probably somewhere around that.

Ditto, I want to fly one off the back of my kayak and to scout spots from the air.

Re: aerial shots of Lane Stadium from today
There are two things to be aware of with this particular quadcopter:
1) The camera is very wide angle (think GoPro). It's hard to see small things like people, animals, etc on the ground.
2) If you lose the connection for some reason, it has an auto return to home feature. It's a great feature, but it doesn't always work out well when launching from a boat for obvious reasons.

On that topic, here's a neat video of someone using the newest quad from DJI on a boat.
