don't think it's strong enough to carry water balloons lol
 
Drones are being in my state to check out people roofs and make sure they're not in danger of caving in.

I wish they were used to enforced people that tailgate while driving in my city . This is a huge problem in the school speed limit which is 20 mph during the whole school day. People drive 35 mph and are right on your ass.

Well, I have a camera drone - DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, one of the most famous quadcopter nowadays. Even have a website about it (click). If you need any help, feel free to ask)

Damn, this kind of quadcopter is damn expensive, is it worth getting one. I saw your video, it looked awesome!

Yeah it's expensive but let me tell you something with two things involved: First, flying this machine is fun to operate, challenging and enjoyable. Secondly, watching the video in just an awe and beauty. Your mind worth more than the cost of the quadcopter. It's very therapeutic to fly.
 
Here's the other one in Dominican Republic last December (remember click on full screen to get better viewing)

Yes you're right - it seems to be fun to fly - I see that Apple store have a cheaper drone that can be operated with the phone, have you tried that one before?

No I haven't try that one. I believe Reba has one of those. She mentioned it on other post that she tried to test it in her room and tried to overrun her husband...

My Phantom 2 can go up to 400 ft, and horizontally, it can go up to 900 ft but If you beefed up the antenna, it can go up to mile and half but the only problem is that it will drain the battery faster.

Now talking about breaking up the communication, Phantom will either automatically fly back home if you set up home point or will fly toward you till it restore communication.
 
Yesterday, we were all sitting in my brothers backyard having a BBQ. There was a drone flying over his neighbors house. I was told that the neighbors contractor uses the drone to take measurements for the new roof. A little crazy that people can see what you're doing in your own backyard.
