Waterloo, Canada—It’s about to hit our sky very soon at a mere $50K per copy. It’s called the Aeryon Scout and will allow minimally skilled users to capture high resolution images of events happening below. The drone is all electric and operates silently. Its knapsack sized package can be opened and the drone deployed from a car trunk in seconds. The initial intended end users will be security companies, police and we can count on the news organizations avoiding the high cost of helicopter air time. .
For news organizations they will be able to own the sky over crime scenes at least until police or medical helicopters are present.
The company boasts their drone will operate in bad weather and is waterproof.
I can see the Hollywood paparazzi industry jumping on this gee whiz gizmo in a New York second.
