Patrick spoke with with Bryan Galusha at the recent Robotics block party and he had something to share with sUAS News.
We are excited to announce the Fighting Walrus fully-integrated RTF airframe! This ready-to-fly airframe incorporates the features what our customers wanted most:
1. Streaming 1080p video
2.Manual control with the iOS device
3. Low cost Ready-To-Fly kits
The RTF Airframe will integrate with the Fighting Walrus Radio to enable an unparalleled ground station experience. Video streams from the drone are geo-encoded and embedded into the iOS application, allowing users to monitor drone orientation and position while watching the video stream.

As per Duran's request we have removed all mention of SteadiDrone and will be refunding all backers that purchased one of their airframes from us.
Oh yes, and SteadiDrone will persue the formal complaint with Indigogo as their campaign infringes on both our PI and Indigogo's actual terms and conditions.
Official statement from SteadiDrone:
Bryan and the Fighting Walrus Indigogo Campaigh have very clearly and bluntly lied to us, stolen IP, very clearly mentioned that they are making their own airframe, even though they now again say they are simply making mods for our airframes, this is not ture, as per the video above they had their own copies made and ready to sell as their own design and rtf kits, SteadiDrone will no longer have ANY connection or relation to this campaign and WILL NOT be providing them with any SteadiDrone airframes. From a Skype I've just had with Bryan (right above in the video)
[11:41:36 PM] Duran - SteadiDrone: I will ask you to REMOVE any mention of SteadiDrone in your campain, videos, photos, you will also remove the photo of the modifies QU4D airframe from your campaign as it's not your IP and we will take that matter through with indigogo, I will publicaly anounce that we have NOTHING to do with your campaign and we will not be supplying you with SteadiDrone airframes
[11:43:17 PM] Bryan Galusha: We will remove the SteadiDrone name from our campaign
[11:43:27 PM] Duran - SteadiDrone: AND the airframe
[11:43:35 PM] Bryan Galusha: yes, I'm sorry
[11:43:36 PM] Duran - SteadiDrone: photos, designs etc
[11:44:00 PM] Bryan Galusha: yes
So thats the story, this has been interesting but enough is enough.
Hey can you please clarify what is required to use 4g LTE for video down link please?
Bruce, this is EXACTLY what I suggested, they have an EXCELLENT product and I thought they needed to focus on that rather than making mods (but then actually stealing our entire design and concept with feature as well as the RTF kits)
in your video on your campaign "OUR AIRFRAME" all rubish, that airframe you bought from SteadiDrone!
Bryan, you quickly have now changed your tune, after your initial post

Duran we wanted to work with you to add modifications, you said you were not interested. We moved forward with a design that would support streaming video.
Also from the skype we had:
[09:44:57 PM] Bryan Galusha: The carbon fiber is made here in the US, the design is different. You did not want to work with us, we moved forward.
NOW, after people have spoken up and realized what you did, you have 'made a mistake" BS Bryan, and again you know it, trying to cover your ass and make nice,
"SteadiDrone QU4D Fighting Walrus Modifications", where is the Actual SteadiDrone? NOWhere does your campaign actually mention it, you removed it all, as we all know, now you want us to simply supprt you again, are you crazy ?
Do you expect us to now offer you our airframes as if nothing happened ? We are going ahead with our indigogo formal complaint against as your campaigh clearly breaches th indogogo T&Cs'
That is a smart move and it will gain you a lot more respect this way. You don't have a bad product you just should showcase what you have created.
