[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1114044, member: 17764"] Night vision is a good thing. The Go-Pro, well I am not that familiar with them as I only used the small one on my helmet in Afghanistan. Does this one have "zoom" capability? If not I would recommend you look at something else as objects - even big ones - get very small very quickly from any type of altitude. As for the cost - despite the comments, it is not out of line. We are looking at a couple models in the $50K range for commercial work this summer - planning to have them flying as much as possible - working with the police, fire and ambulance folks as well as mines, pipelines and power transmission line patrols. Once we're are fully up and running - if we make it that far we would actually like to get to the point where we can do beyond line of sight - making things a bit more tricky but certainly far more efficient. You will not see that in US of A comercial operations for some time due to FAA regs - in Canada due to the empty spaces, the regs are a bit more relaxed. Cheers Bez [/QUOTE]
