New Photos are coming!

[NicoleScraps]

My 8 yr old son bought an Air Hog Hawk Eye today with his birthday money. It takes photos and videos while in flight. He is so super excited.
He said "I am going to chase the cat around the house with it and get pictures of her. Then I might get a picture of mommy and daddy kissing." LOL!
Oh dear!!
I'll be sure to share some of them with you....well, not the kissing ones.

Cool, a 'My first spy-plane' kit. Teaching the kids of today how to rout out the terrorist camps of tomorrow

But seriously, that's kind of cool. I want one!

£30? That thing costs around £60 over here (£64.99 at WH Smith anyway). The Yanks seem to get everything cheaper .

Theres a guy in my area who has a very expensive RC chopper with a camera on it, full PTZ capabilities. Takes two people to run it, but he's done a lot with it.

On the other end, I was in the toy section of big box-mart the other day and saw a barbie with a video camera in her chest. It plugs into a pc via usb, and takes full color video and sound. Freaky. Now we'll finally know what goes on in the dream house with Ken.

Apparently he needs to learn to fly the thing before he can take any pics. When he takes it up, all it does is spin around in a circle, then crashes.

Yeah, I read that, due to the design, they were hard to fly.

Okay,here is the first semi-clear photo that has come off the helicopter. Most of the others were completely dark, like almost black, or so blurred that the subject was unidentifiable.



I bet it would do much better outside.
