Here is something to consider...be scared of... DJI Phantom 4 Yes, it is a drone. According to Amazon, you can get one for about $1000. Not too shabby if you need a little electronic spy to spot your enemies and direct fire onto them. Nationality: Generic Service dates: 2016-present DJI Phantom 4 Specs "DJI upped the ante with the Phantom 4 drone. The DJI Phantom 4 quadcopter offers more power, speed, and features than the Phantom 3. This Phantom 4 HD video camera sports 4K resolution, while the drone itself has multiple sensors, dual GPS and GLONASS navigation, an advanced Visual Positioning System (VPS), and automated subject-tracking and obstacle avoidance." Here is a simplified list of the Phantom 4 specs: Weight 3 lbs. Max Ascent Speed 13.4 MPH Max Descent Speed 8.9 MPH Max Forward Speed 45 MPH Max Ceiling 400 ft. (Electronically Limited) <-- another source lists actual ceiling as 6000 m. (Imagine what you can spot at 6000 m. just with your camera.) Max Flight Time 28 min. Operating Temp 32° to 104°F Satellite Systems GPS & GLONASS Obstacle Sensory Range 2 to 49 ft. Gimbal Control Range -90° to +30° Pitch Camera Sensor 1/2.3" Lens FOV 94° ISO Range 100-3200 Max Image Size 4000x3000 Max Video Size 4096x2160 Max Video Bitrate 60 Mbps File Systems FAT32, exFAT Photo Formats JPEG, DNG Video Formats MP4, MOV, MPEG Charger Specs 17.4v, 100w Remote Frequency 2.400-2.483 GHz Max Transmission Range 3.1 mi. <-- http://www.drone-world.com/dji-phantom-4-range-extender/ offers an extender giving it a 5-mile control range; with 28 minutes of power, the drone could probably fly 5 miles, hover for up to 10 minutes, and then fly 5 miles back. Battery Model Intelligent Flight PH4 Battery Specs 5,350 mAh, 15.2v Sources http://www.drone-world.com/dji-phantom-4-specs https://www.dji.com/phantom-4/info https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/phantom_4/en/Phantom_4_User_Manual_en_v1.0.pdf Thanks for considering this one.
