This is a pre event that happend in france, organized by airgonay, a quadcopter racing fanatic association. Drones are not only for spying or doing the headlines when they fall in the streets.

that actually looks decent, out of all the new things you can do.  could get pretty big.  its actually the equivilent of virtual reality...  and you can do it sitting down.

Can't say about the racing part but FPV has been around for a few years. Now the media calls every quad or tri-copter a DRONE!

It just sounds so menacing kind of like when they also call every gun an ASSAULT WEAPON! Well...technically, I suppose a baseball bat could be an Assault Weapon or a steak knife or a sharpened crayon...or....

<just ranting> ;)

It reminds me of those old Zero-G racing games on the PC but in real life. I'd like to try it sometime.
