At some point in time, drones will become personalized and used by individuals world wide.
The applications that can be employed at present for a few hundred dollars is staggering.
I recently purchased two RV helicopters, destroying the first right out of the box and the second one is waiting for a part that I designed after observing an engineering flaw.
No, I won't tell you that flaw or it's simple remedy.
I took the time to hand make a prototype replacement part for the first flaw and it was a success.
Rigging a GoPro camera to a servo is simple.
*The PTZ unit from a surveillance cam would do nicely.
The next conflict was the "kick back" of firing a weapon from the small scale RC.
The RC will have to have an immediate sliding counter weight wired directly in to the controllers remote. Waiting for the response if wired in to the vehicle will simply be too slow and too late.
There is the tilting of the rotor blades themselves as a munition is fired to assist in this offset.
The challenge for this project is size and weight.
Arming this drone.
It doesn't take a large servo to actuate the trigger of a gun yet observance to size and weight comes into play.
Now, I'd like you to imagine having the ability to roam through your home via a camera yet not from mounted points. Think of actually being able to "roam" through every inch, nook and cranny of your home via an IP address while you were in another state or country.
The technology to roam your home from other locations via a GoPro is here, it's been here.
The hardware is here, the software is beyond here. All that remains is to complete a finished product where permissible by law.
I have read about, "Cambodian business etiquette" as well as some of the laws. The next steps that I'll take should be obvious.
I have purchased a third RC helicopter knowing full well that I'll have to switch over to the more stable 4 rotor blade models.
For the moment, it's simply to gather all the components for a combined weight. This will dictate the size / stregnth of the carrier RC unit.
I've probably said too much as it is, I'll close for now and say, "Good night".
*No weapon is a weapon without the firing pin. Without the firing pin, what would be considered a gun is only a replica.
*This simply went from thought to interface, please excuse any grammatical errors.
