DraganFlyer X8 complete spec list is pretty ridiculous, so let’s just gun through some of the highlights: GPS that can track up to 16 satellites simultaneously, can carry a payload of over a kilo, has a microSD black box data recorder, three gyros, accelerometers and magnetometers on-board, and capable of carrying a remote-operated 10MP still camera and a 1080p video camera. Also: it’s foldable.
Pretty slick, and a worthy addition to the Draganflyer lineage. It’s also, presumably, very expensive, since you have to request a price quote. That’s fine, though; this little monster’s meant for professional photographers and/or amateur spy games. For now, I’m content just to focus my gadget lust on it. [DraganFly]

The Price is now at: $18990.00 USD.
As can be seen, here: http://www.draganfly.com/quote/quote-df-x6.php
(Just under the Green Text: “Choose Draganflyer X6 Configuration:”.).
Although, I wonder if You’re in the UK.
As that Price would, roughly work out at, Somewhere between £14,500 and £15,000.(Sterling).

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at 12:25 AMBased on the price, seems like the X8 is geared towards military and law enforcement use. The new camera alone is in the thousands.
I want one!
