"The U.S. definitely needs citizen- and journalist-controlled drones. Just look at how they treat protesters in recent days. Peaceful people are being beaten with batons, pepper-sprayed on campuses, thrown out under false security pretext from…"

"Ellison Chan, please note a direct connection between the safety of a drone and of the people directly beneath it. This is why I mentioned it."

"Two comments, to clarify a bit: 1) The drone used to make this video is a commercial device, professionally maintained and tested. The company operating it undoubtedly has relevant permissions from Polish authorities - at least for…"

"BTW, if anyone was curious, the platform is a Y6 with a Canon DSLR:   Credit goes here: http://www.mmwarszawa.pl/393137/2011/11/11/zamieszki-w-warszawie-z-lotu-ptaka-wideo?category=video"

"I also don't own a TV and I was able to find these videos in many places on the web, but I was curious who actually paid for it."

"Robert, who did he sell it to?  Was it run in any mainstream media?"

"Very cool stuff.  Love the foldability.  But we want to see a flight video!   Also, performance questions immediately pop up to mind: What's the acceptable payload? (I can see on your website it can take a Go Pro.) What's…"

"Video! We want a video! :)"

"As for lasers (I assume Robert White means a rangefinder?), wouldn't one of these cheap LIDAR solutions mentioned a few posts before do the job? http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/found-cheapestever-lidar-seems"

"Interesting stuff. What kind of software do you use for Photogrammetry? (i.e. for converting photos to 3d data)"

"The stabilization works indeed, but at the expense of image sharpness. Personally I prefer the non-stabilized, but sharper image on the left."

"Yeah, I overshot with 50k, was just making a point. That video you posted is awesome! :)"

"I assume this won't be cheap? It's funny how you can get an "amateur" quad for $1000, then people finetune the software, rebuild it on a nicer frame, call it a "pro" and charge $50,000. ;)  [yes, I can see yours is…"

"Would you consider selling kits with different sizes of the baloon itself (while using common controls) ? This could be interesting for various usages - a small blimp for a kid, a bigger one (and tethered one, possibly) for mounting a camera. The…"
