Flying radio controlled helicopters is a lot of fun, but imagine flying a radio controlled helicopter that has a video camera attached to it. This isn’t the stuff of dreams, or the makeshift creation of a technical wizkid in a shed, it’s the Spycopter.
The Spycopter is a radio controlled helicopter that comes equipped with a video camera that allows you to record what the helicopter sees. Better yet, the RC helicopter comes equipped with a receiver that connects to your PC or laptop via USB, allowing you to see the output of the video camera in real time. This means that by using your computer you can fly the radio controlled helicopter without even looking at the RC helicopter itself, you can control it solely by viewing the camera’s view on your computer.
The Spycopter has a range of 750 metres and last for up to ten minutes before you need to force a landing and recharge. The best thing about the Spycopter is that it’s a dual rotor RC helicopter, which means you get a very stable flight, and as such a very stable recording from the camera.
