There is a new, very portable, very quiet drone model available that I have considered getting for the purpose of adding weekly (or almost) aerial videos to BigTreesTech. I have thought of doing this in the past but was put off by the bulk of early drones as well as the very annoying bee hive noise they made. This new model is significantly quieter, it folds up and can easily fit in a small day pack, and it comes equipped with a very high resolution, stabilized video camera.
At the moment, the BigTreesTech donation account is close, but not quite close enough to the amount needed to purchase the drone. I would personally contribute the difference if it weren’t for the fact that a good friend just put her beautiful 5-string violin up for sale and that purchase takes precedence 🙂
