Just seen an eBay listing for an Intel Falcon 8+. It’s an interesting beast:

Oct. 11, 2016 — Intel Corporation today announced the Intel® Falcon 8+ system, an advanced drone with full electronic system redundancy that is designed with safety, ease, performance and precision for the North American markets. The Intel Falcon 8+ is outfitted for industrial inspection, surveying and mapping geared toward professionals and experts.

I can’t. I have run out of organs to sell. Unless I start on the Mrs’ :rofl:

And only 26 mph max wind tolerance … which is mad when you think the Mini 3 Pro is 24 mph!

Easier to see in a tree/field though

If I could ever afford to buy it … i’d be too scared to leave my house with it, let alone end up in a tree or field.

I have one flys really well, I can tell you it did not cost anything like what they are asking there.
