Soloshot robot

I wonder if this could be used to film your landings. SoloShot, Film yourself.

Looks pretty awesome!! Not necessarily for flying, but I could see setting it up on a small supermoto track, or something....

For $400+, I'll pass, though.

Keep in mind, the first consumer model is always pricey. Once a competitor or two enters the space, you might be happier with price.

3 years ago, I attended a demonstration of the FreeFlight Rangr ADS-B solution. That model at that time (one of the few available to us) was priced around $9000. Now the latest iteration can be had for less than $4000.

That's a given. But as I said...at that price point, no chance of me buying one. If they go down, maybe.

I saw a youtube of a drone that would follow you, biking, skiing, whatever. Probably keep up to an ultralight. I'm sure someone will try. :-(

Think of the law enforcement possibilities. Heh.

Toss a drone up in the air and let it follow the bad guy.

I bet most LEOs are standing in line for drones. Going to be many court cases before the 'air' boundary is settled.

Good grief... It looks like self-absorbed narcissists have become a market sector in their own right.

You mean people who have no one to say, "Hold my beer, and watch this." to?

Add an insulated beer can holder to this robot and we're done.

That's not new at all. We just made it cheaper than trying to get a news crew to follow you around. (See: Politician.)

I think it could. they show it at a race track, tracking multiple cars. I'd say as soon as it picks up the transmitter it would focus in on you. Looks pretty cool!

I like it. I fly RC aircraft and love something like this to film my models as I fly them. Pricey yes.

Hey man, I know I'm the only one who watches my videos... but I'm ok with that

I'd love to see my form running my bike through a curve. Or see what my landing looks like from the outside. Lots of applications that have nothing whatsoever to do with narcissism. And some that do.

Golfers film their swings, swimmers film their strokes, football and basketball teams film themselves and their opponents. I film my flights for my own benefit. Not because I like watching myself, but because I like being able to go back and see what I did well or badly. Being able to watch this from an external viewpoint could be immensely helpful.

I heard someone say 'Boomers travel to see thing while millennials travel to be seen. '

Your stuff is interesting and useful.

As for my comment, not so much useful, but the responses have been interesting.

Good God you are intelligent. I realize got nothing much to add to the world after seeing some of your videos...


I'm going to go write some dick and fart jokes now.

Nahhh - I get that stuff from the textbooks... If you have some good dick and fart jokes, could I use them to make my videos less boring?
