SlashGear is “a weblog that specializes in the latest and greatest in personal technology”. SlashGear was bored of your typical remote controlled helicopter and found the Draganflyer SAVS to be “something more impressive, something with more rotors, something that has a built-in video camera so you can spy from the sky”. They like how the Draganflyer SAVS’ high-resolution 480 line video camera and transmitter “have independent, regulated power supplies for interference free flying and filming”. They appreciate the two military-grade hard transport cases for the helicopter and the wireless video base station and give a thumbs up to the included flight simulator computer program to practice flying “without crashing into any small children”. SlashGear finishes by inviting their readers to “make sure to check out the videos of the Draganflyer in action”.

Gizmowatch brags about the SAVS’ thermal intelligence self levelling feature, onboard CPU, anti-vibration video camera mount, use of lithium-polymer batteries, piezo-gyro technology and carbon fiber construction “hence resulting in a great video shoot”.

Be A Hero Dad

“Turn your kids into hot shot pilots. The Draganflyer V Ti’s self-correcting gyroscopes automatically keep this four-prop chopper stable. But if a novice flyer does find a way of destabilizing this machine, no worries: Release the controls and onboard sensors detect the horizon and reorient the chopper to within half a second. The Draganflyer also has a high-resolution video camera that transmits live footage - perfect for spying on the neighbors.” - Eric Adams, BestLife Magazine

Even if you can afford the Predator’s $40-million price tag, you still can’t have one - the Second Amendment doesn’t guarantee the right to a stealth-bombing spy plane. The Draganfly Tango, however, falls just within the bounds of legality. And it can do most of what the Predator can -at least in miniature (minus the Hellfire missiles). Its wingspan is 60 inches and its payload three and a half pounds, enough to carry a 10-megapixel Canon digital camera for high-resolution stills and video. A powerful 2.4 gigahertz transmitter in the plane’s belly beams the imagery back to the operator “live” from up to 1500 feet away, where it can be viewed on a media player or through a pair of futuristic spectacles called “Eye Cameras” with a screen embedded in the right-hand lens. And like the Predator, the Tango can cruise at low speeds without stalling, ensuring a good, long look at the situation on the ground. As for range, one can fly the Tango about as far as one can see it, for up to fiver hours of reconnaissance. A souped-up, GPS-equipped version, capable of long-range preprogrammed flights, it is also available, but only to government and law-enforcement agencies.

The question remains, of course, why anyone would need such a craft. To count cattle? To survey real estate? To snoop on the neighbors? But that’s a private matter best kept between a man and his spy plane.” - Thomas Jackson - ForbesLife

“Reach for the Sky with these radio controlled helicopters. Like the real things, they’re prone to crashing, but with a little practice, you’ll soon earn your rotors.

Draganflyer V Ti Pro (Splurge)
Wired:
Easiest to Fly, thanks to the gyros and infrared sensors. Videocam adds a copter’s-eye view. 15 Minute Battery life.”

– Richard Baguley

“The sky’s the limit with this four-rotor mini chopper, which has a built-in video camera that beams footage back to the ground. Plug the included receiver into any camcorder, VCR or portable media player to record the shenanigans. It can fly an impressive 1,700 feet away and up to 1,500 feet in the air – higher than almost any building in the world. And since it’s battery-powered, it’s whisper-quiet. To make flying foolproof, the 1.09-pound helo has seven electronic sensors that make it instantly stabilize if you pop the remote controls to the neutral position. In case you fly out of range, or the 20-minute battery craps out mid-flight, the Flyer gently grounds itself.”

The Draganflyer SAVS RC Helicopter is available to purchase online at www.rctoys.com.
