UAV for Airsoft

I found this on North Texas Airsoft. This is a home made UAV for milsim operations. The video is from OP:Adrenaline Rush in Texas.

Sounds like a really cool idea... But, sounds like it would need a very controlled environment to be useful. Maybe for reinactment games. Also sounds like it could be very, very expensive.

little bit expensive, yes. i havent done research but this seems small enough to carry with you as well as durable enough for some wind.

I prefer this one.
I have always acted in self defense, occasionally pre-emptive self defense.

If you give to a charity please think of giving to one of these two charities. The Naval Special Warfare Foundation or Navy SEAL Warrior Fund.

Awesome UAV with an awesome price of $15,000-$26,000.

Very interesting idea. What camera would you use? The one in the video appeared to be a PTZ (Pan tilit zoom) platform but those require lots of power and are fairly large. Must be custom made ptz....hmmm.

That draganflyer one looks like it would cost a pretty penny.

how would you make it so everyone on the team saw that screen? buy a bunch of screens? the best thing to do would be after the camera and the plane were squared away you would have to get the map of the designated area you are surveying and then everyone would have to be on their radios and they would also have to have maps with Lang. and Lat. and they would have to plot the points and by the time they are done with that the enemy would probably be in a new position by then.

I have a setup like this with wireless feed. No pan and tilt abilities yet(i made it for just flying, not surveillance). May upgrade that when I am back stateside.

I don't see this being very practical considering the ranges we're dealing with as well as the size of our battlefield. It is a really cool idea though. What kind of glasses is the guy using in that Dragan video?
