Following the post yesterday about the new Spycopter, that comes complete with its own video camera attached to the underside of the helicopter, and a USB connectable receiver to receive pictures from the helicopter direct to your PC, what would you use a radio controlled helicopter for?
Obviously, being a small camera with a ten minute fly time, and being attached to a RC helicopter, the picture isn’t going to be as good as the latest Sony HD video camera, so you couldn’t use it for making broadcast quality videos. However, there are a few things you could do with it.
If you’re a skater, imagine the cool videos you could make and upload to YouTube if you have video footage of your skating skills taken from the air, with a radio controlled helicopter!
If you’re in an RC club, you could use the Spycopter to film a radio controlled car race, much like F1 uses helicopters for footage.
Obviously there’s also the ‘spy’ aspect to the Spycopter as well, but be advised that most neighbours won’t like a radio controlled helicopter equipped with a camera flying over their garden.
These are just a few uses, there of course many more. What would you use a Spycopter for?
