I took this video of a flying drone at Brookstone at Avetura Mall in Miami.
The drone is flying among the crowds and actually goes right over my head a couple of times--I literally had to duck (as I think the salesperson was having some fun with me recording)!
The device is called the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 and sells for $299.
The drone is being controlled via wi-fi by a iPhone and also works with iPads and Droid devices.
The controlled flying as well as the stunts seemed easy to do.
It has a front facing camera (and I think the salesperson said it has a rear-facing one too).
You can capture the flight imagery and post the recorded video and still photos online.
The quadricopter has stabilization controls and hull protection to keep the device safe and in the air.
If you appreciate this technology and likes to have some fun, you may want to take this for a little spin around the yard, park, and beach.
Also, watch out at the mall--this flying gizmo may be coming right at you. ;-)
