Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Remote Control RC Quadricopter with HD Camera 720p

Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Remote Control RC Quadricopter, rc, helicopter

This will be in my wishlist this year, the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Remote Control RC Quadricopter with HD Camera 720p has a lot of uses. You can use it to shoot astonishing aerial videos or aerial photo shoots, like you are filming a movie. It has stabilization system and video post-processing to get clean smooth shots. You can also adjust speed and moves in real time to compose your video sequence.

I saw this when I attending a wedding, they use the RC Quadricopter to shoot amazing aerial shot of the location and the wedding. The video was very stable and it was done smoothly, however, I must say they are professionals so for a newbie like me I don't think I can capture stable shots like they do.

Another good thing about this RC is that your HD videos and pictures are sent directly to your device.

It also has ample power in its motor that will let you fly high with acceptable speed and stay in mid air. You can control the RC by iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, and Android Devices.

This is real cool but it comes in a hefty price at about $276.99. This is a real powerful tool please don't use it to invade privacy you can get sued, specially for the voyeurs.
