Essjay Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Check out the Fotokite, a photo drone which requires no RC equipment and should satisfy the safety police. http://youtu.be/ocCW5O9_YN4 Edited By Essjay on 21/08/2015 12:19:16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 control line is that not a very old idea? but seriously it is a simple yet looks like a very effective idea. following the skier down hill produced some good footage and a lot of people have tried and failed to achieve this with complicated gps tracking systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean smith 1 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Think you may find that as you are still controlling it, it will still be classed as a drone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart C Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 So now I not only have to miss the drone, but also the tethering line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willhappy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 hi so does this mean that you do not have to have a BNUC-s pilot qualification???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope its still an unmanned aerial survellance vehicle - the ANO does not specify how it is remotely controlled, we assume radio because thats obvious to us, but the wording of the act does not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willhappy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 hi dave so a kite with a cam on it would still be an aerial survellance vehicle so you would still need a bnuc-s qualification will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eflightray Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 So you might as well add a motor and RC gear to a camera kite. Plenty of those have been done, and very successfully. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
