So I'm rather new to the concept of "crowdfunding". I've heard of it of course, but never really investigated too far. That changed not long ago when someone put me onto a worthy cause. Hello. I found myself browsing through a whole host of potentials! Not a good idea. I'll admit, I'm occasionally wooed by new fangled gadgets, so it was I perused concepts for those... And suddenly, my wallet was in my hand and according to the receipt page, I'd apparently just helped fund this -

I swear that's all I remember!! There was a limited number available.... and time was running down... and I've never flown a remote controlled thing due to fear of crashing very expensive equipment... and... and... Well it is pretty cool!



Seriously though, the clincher for me was the FPV - the idea of racing the thing "Star Wars" style just appealed to the child within. Virtual reality flying of an aircraft without leaving the ground? OK, count me in! I mean, I remember the old tech show "Beyond 2000" right?

To be honest, I'm really looking forward to using it, just not anywhere in arms reach of my other half...


Oh and on the side, I'm actually hoping the miniature camera module can be used to give me a live and virtual look inside guitars too - there is the related stretch I was mentioning.

*Please Note in the interest of full disclosure - having looked in to the rather odd (I thought dubious) link the page provided me (posted above), it appears they track the clicks whom I "refer" back to me, to provide "rewards" should any of those click throughs also fund the project. NOT MY INTENTION! Sure go ahead if you like and it will apparently benefit me, but do so fully knowing this now.
PS - I've now been banned (temporarily?) from perusing any crowdfunding sites...
