3D Robotics Solo, in conjunction with GoPro

"Solo, its controller and optional Solo Gimbal -- a motorized 3-axis camera stabilizer -- is the culmination of a couple years of work and a partnership with GoPro. A partnership that has resulted in a drone with full in-flight camera control and live, low-latency HD streaming straight to mobile devices.
To do this, 3DR had to give Solo a brain of its own.
'What Solo introduces are two new technologies for deep integration with GoPros,' said Chris Anderson, 3D Robotic's CEO and co-founder. 'The first thing, is because it has an on-board Linux computer, it's capable of running apps for computer vision for object tracking and artificial intelligence and other things. And because it also has a long-distance broadband connection, it's able to transmit not just the HD video, but flight data and telemetry.'"

 This might be my next quadcopter!  I plan to use my original as my bang-around practice quad.
