Had the quadcopters out this morning & got a chance to try the new one .

First shot is a still picture from the 1080p HD camera & the second one is a screen shot from a video shot through the same camera .

I wish I was skilled enough to have got a still shot of the skyline . Next time I'll give it a shot .

I trust you are staying below 400' and have it registered with the FAA!

 

Anyone who owns a small unmanned aircraft that weighs more than 0.55 lbs. (250g) and less than 55 lbs. (25kg) must register with the Federal Aviation Administration's UAS registry before they fly outdoors. People who do not register could face civil and criminal penalties.

Who must register a UAS?

The owner must be:

• 13 years of age or older. (If the owner is less than 13 years of age, a person 13 years of age or older must register the small unmanned aircraft.)
• A U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.

Which unmanned aircraft do I have to register?

Owners must register their UAS online if it meets the following guidelines:

• Weighs more than 0.55 lbs. (250 g) and less than 55 lbs. (25 kg). Unmanned Aircraft weighing more than 55 lbs. cannot use this registration process and must register using the Aircraft Registry process.

See examples of UAS that do and do not require registration (PDF).

Owners must register their UAS by paper if it meets the following guidelines:

• Your Aircraft weighs more than 55 lbs
• You intend to operate your aircraft outside of the United States
• Your aircraft is owned by a trustee
• The aircraft owner uses a voting trust to meet U.S. Citizenship requirements

How do I register my UAS Online?

It costs only $5 to register your UAS and the process is simple and web-based. Your registration is valid for three years. Some things you'll need before you get started:

• An email address
• Credit or Debit card
• Physical address and mailing address (if different from physical address)
• Once you receive a registration number, you must mark the registration number on all aircraft. Read about How to Label Your UAS (PDF).
