I know that there have been experiments using small UAV's for front line military reconnaissance. I wonder if a scaled down model of this vehicle carrying a tiny P&S camera might not also have a place in the military arsenal. I can think of some instances (such as under heavy tree cover) than a little vehicle like his might have been handy.

I thought the picture quality was poor. Should have used a 1D C so he could have shot 4k video as well and an EF 85mm F1.2 to get the perspective right.

You need to get one of these to go with your kit Colin probably with a motorized F2.8 zoom.

A 1D C owner would have went bolting across the field to retrieve their camera after the lions attempting to make off with it.

I'm guessing you mean 1D X?

The standing joke about 1D series cameras is that you can use them as a weapon to knock out a charging rhinoceros, and then use it again to photograph the unconscious beast!
