Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think it's a logical step, but if that zeppelin of an octo-copter drone in the article is their chosen carrier, they've missed their profitable consumer market by a mile - one of the new breed of backpack hovercams is more likely to appeal to their mass market. One (or more) of those startups is probably already in the sights of Foxxconn to be borg'd for IP

Whatever they are hope for their owners sake they are ski-pole proof....that's what they'll be getting wrapped around them if they fly anywhere near me!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Next on YouTube: "Grumpy skier flails pointlessly at out-of-reach drone then falls over! LULZ! IN SUPER HD 4k!"... I'd watch that.

@Richard_Sideways, If that's aimed at me?.............Not grumpy me pal, just believe that back-country in the mountains should stay what it is and quiet, not be spoilt by buzzing about drones, the next selfie-seekers' must have vanity device. I guess they'll be set at about 8-10m above GL in which case I agree they'll be out of reach - I hope they become banned well before I have to take a swipe at them btw.

Be interesting to see if the bloomin things can fly at altitude - if they have the power and aerodynamic performance to cope with the thinner air.
Here's the rules from the CAA:
Don’t fly your unmanned aircraft within 50m of a person, vehicle, building or structure, or overhead groups of people at any height.
Difficult to achieve that above a piste......

There was one being flown over one of the pistes in Alpe d'Huez earlier this year. Definitely overhead and within 50 m
