Do they really think this is state of the art for FPV??

It is a neat little package, but I'm not sure it garners Engadget coverage...

- I just looked at the whole thing..it just records and stores, has a USB output on the back. Might not be too bad as a pylon or external mounted recording option...records VGA at 25fps on to 2GB of internal storage.

camera, fpv

And if you live in the states, the answer is...not very high at all!

I always her "How high can it go?" as the first question.

Ya, with retractable wings and everything! Wow!

How fast does it go?
How much does it cost?
Where can I buy one?

(the three questions you always get from kids at the flying field)

I was very impressed! Then again, I thought that was the entire UAV...;-)

Wow, this looks a little similiar (read: exactly) to the LANTIRN Target Pods I used to work on...

I think that they lead the title with "Cheap..." and not inexpensive says it all.
