wow - that's amazing. In watching the video, it sometimes has some interference. I have a tough time believing that it's wireless transmission due to the distance that it's able to travel. Maybe it's just batteries running low.

It also must handle wind currents adequately, since it gets quite an altitude and distance. Nice.

It puts my efforts to shame!

I wonder what it's worth?

From what I can glean, he get the bags from Iowa Thin Films or something like that.
I emailed him but no response.
Sometimes, like now, hyperblimp.com 404s.

It could be a wireless camera. Lot's of guy's in the RC aerial business run a setup from www.blackwidowav.com. They are great cameras with ranges of 2+ miles!!

BlackWidow AV

Did it say how much wind that it could fly in?
