I don't get the iphone control.
You can tilt for forward/back/side but what about elevation and lowering, (along with rotation)? RC controllers have 2 sticks which is 8 directions, the iphone only has 4?
I'd take one of those with a conventional control - those cameras alone rock.

Lol, then you get a call and your drone is in the middle of a rainforest and falls low enough for a gorilla to grab and eat it!
Or the battery dies and gets run over by a car.
The video gave me the creeps, and I think the reason is, now that i've pondered it further, is the peeping tom aspect of the technology.

Add in a laser range finder and maybe a laser level - and this'd be the cats ass for construction :)

No big deal, just wait till the Chinese get hold of one to pirate. You'll be able to pick one up on Ebay for 29.95 with free shipping in about a year...........................:rofl:

Chinese are probably working on it already :) Bet there's a 100$ knockoff coming pdq
In fact I know there is - some of the RC guys are already working on an open source clone...
