Max speed of 40km/h is impressive but probably not quick enough to keep up with anyone except Houston....particularly when you throw a 25kt breeze into the equation. Max range of 30m is also a worry.

Im actually considering buying one... Ive been researching all morning! Costs about $650 AUD if you preorder it (before 15 Jun), but it will cost $1300 if you buy it normally. Sounds great, but bit of a risk... It wont be released until February 2016, and is still in a prototype stage... There have been demo days with the press where they have shown of the autonomous flight, but the finished product is not ready. But it will have similar footage to a current gopro, and has heaps of safety features - if it goes out of the 30m range, it will stop, hover and wait for you to come back in range and then just keep on filming. If it runs out of battery, it will make a slow controlled landing (even on water) and wont crash. It floats as well, and is fully waterproof.. Im actually that tempted to get one... Sounds like the future to me!

UPDATE - they don't recommend for use in more than 15mph of wind (just over 13 knots)... Which I guess is pretty useless for almost everyone on here..

Sounds good for a bit of sup action no good for wind sports in its current form..

Bit like the gopro I recon, the first one had some nice features but it didnt become amazing until the 2nd / 3rd version. Put my money into my car... um i mean windsurfing gear, instead.
