Latest TV reports on Drones and Multirotors

[nicwilke]

Hi,
Here in Australia, over that last few months, there's been quite a lot of media about use for Drones. These 2 videos are on my YouTube account so you can see them.

There will be some major changes in the next year or so to open up the commercial use for UAV's (legislation in Australia). Most interestingly, there will be some weight limit classifications made up so there will be an influx of operators ready to jump on board.

Multi-rotor technology is both a marvel and a curse and I can't help but find those vids vaguely depressing as it documents the subversion of a combined fascinating hobby (r/c helicopters) and a skilled profession (aerial photography) by idiots, ignoramii, and dirty little anarchist french paparazzi insects.

Highlights the importance of rules and regulations for operation.

Most interesting statement you find in the second vid, starting at 12:18 from Peter Singer about the FAA....

Also in the second vid at 19:58, makes you think what is more "unsave".... a Multirotor or the weapons in the hands of these brainless morons

There's a close call between a commercial aircraft and a multi rotor on Drone Age ABC at the 4:00 minute mark.
