Some multirotors and drones models at the RomaDrone Expo in Rome 24-25 May 2014

I recently attended the RomaDrone Expo in Rome, Italy and would like to share some of the models exposed. The expo was very much oriented at the professional market. Models were mainly big multirotors with high payloads, to lift DSLR cameras, and some “wings” models for mapping. This is not a comprehensive overview, just some models that attracted my attention.

Woman claims drone sexually harassed her at the beach

This had to happen sooner or later, and we’ll probably see more and more of this in the future. Spying on undressed woman, a typical activity of (some) man all over the world, now raises to a new dimension thanks for personal drones.

In a post on Reddit describing the incident earlier this week, the woman wrote she was relaxing at the beach with her mother when she heard a whirring noise and noticed a remote-controlled aircraft nearby. She resumed napping.

The woman then noticed the drone was flying very close to female beach-goers and had a camera attached to it, according to her Reddit post. After the device hovered close to her and her mother, the woman said she located the men controlling it and approached them. She told them the device was “seriously creepy.” One responded, “It isn’t going to hurt you,” according to her Reddit post.”

Extreme urban FPV in Russia

Arendatorovnet published a new video on his youtube account. It’s a great and quite unique FPV video taken possibly in Moscow.

Getting back to Russia from Thailand apparently did not stop Arendatorovnet to go around with his quadcopter in highly populated areas.

Groups of people are greeted, as happened in the Thailand videos.

So here you go. Coper Mobi – Season opening 2014:

Drone musicians as flying rockstars!

I could not pass over this one. A real concert played by a band of small hexacopters.
