Interesting. Do you know how it stays up for over an hour with video?

Sounds like Street View is going to get a whole lot more interesting. Maybe this is the new "Live" service.

@Fab - big motors and 6s3p battery pack. However, the > 1 hour flight time is w/o payload.

Thanks Don, I like your setup. So the quad comes with kids :) It would be cool to see the larger one drop the smaller one from a height and then to see them both return by themselves.

Well its done Microdrone a world of good for their products!! Fair play to them but lets hope Google does not mind the privacy inferences and slight bad press its generating.

Was digging through their trash & noticed someone at Google bought a hamburger. Will sell the wrappers for $5 million.
