Thanks chaps. I'm deffo investing. Looks awesomely amazing. I've done some falconry in my time and envied my birds as they swoop around in 3 dimensions. This could be my chance to see what they see.

You might want to check out the legal situation before sinking too much cash into anything-I seem to remember they tightened up a lot of things recently in the UK because of the number of pellets flying them into restricted air space and near misses with aircraft and there's been constant rumblings about outright banning them for hobby use.
I know that for any commercial use you're supposed to have a formal training certificate, third party insurance and written permission to be filming from any landowner you are overflying, hobby use I'm not sure but there's definite privacy issues-the national trust and some parks have banned them because again, cunts will be cunts and ruin it for everyone... I'm sure most will flout this anyway for the 'gram points.
Most places have a local radio controlled airplane club with permission to operate and I've seen a few drones being thrown around there-always looks fun and some footage is simply amazing, interested in getting one myself tbh so hope it's still permitted in a few years!

I've got a mavic pro if you fancied having a crack at it. It's awesome.
^ The rules amount to don't be a twat at the moment, but as you say, they're looking to introduce a license in a year or two.

This thread is going to drone on and on isn't it...
I'd think about where you want to fly it first. Lots of places are off limits like sports venues, landmarks, anything police/army related. Within inner London it's near impossible not to mention if you land it near a road someone could drive over it. I think if you went down near the coast and found a bit that wasn't alongside an army barracks or nuclear facility then you should be able to fly it without much issue(?).

Being a member of an internet cycling forum is probably sadder.
I'm a 100% drone novice. I want a piece of kit that will fly, transmit live video to a headset, can be flown by the 'viewer' or a third party whilst the viewer wears the headset. Basically I want the sensation of flying ike a bird. Is this even possible?
