[QUOTE="Rusty Jones, post: 233127, member: 18581"] Drone is .... such a harsh word. It is just a quadcopter with a camera gimbal. Better quality can be had by NOT buying one of the premade units. The big manufacture is DJI, and they don't have the best reliability when it comes to flights. Their Phantoms have a nasty habit of flying away on their own, and being a closed source system, DJI has been slow to address. But enough about that. I'll post mine later tonight when I get home. I did a little more searching, and the Canon A620 with the CHDK firmware hack will work. Outside of a firmware hack I would be willing to do a little hardware modding, and bringing out the actual shutter release electrical contacts to a external switch that I can remote actuate with a servo switch. Any recomendations on a small Nikon P&S that is easy to disassemble and get to the shutter release? :) [/QUOTE]
