A line of camera drones. No microwarpdrive yet so their speed is at a modest 10 m/s. There are more companies doing this, that one is just an example.

The price tag is still a bit steep for me personally but i think it's a much better investment than a console nowadays. I am personally excited about drones and hope to see more advances in drone tech (such as drone pizza delivery!).

Personally, when it comes to good / professional multicopters (yes, those aren't called drones), i would go for something that is way better than any of the DJI Phantoms multicopters. The quadcopter i'm thinking on is way more expensive than the Phantoms, but you get much more for the money anyways.

Here is the quadcopter i would go for: http://www.steadidrone.eu/product/steadidrone-mavrik/

Here, you are free to use alot of different cameras (not just the GoPro cameras) and you can use other flight controllers than just the DJI ones (witch by the way are known for having the 'fly away' issues).

And oooohboy, the MAVRIK looks waaaaaay way better than the ugly plastic fantastic Phantom to Blink.

EDIT: Here is a video that shows some videos taken with the MAVRIK quadcopter: http://vimeo.com/105027670

Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos:

1: Asteroid Madness

2: Clash of the Empires
