"Our joint UAV mission combined both hands-on training and operational deployments. The full program is available here. The
first day comprised a series of presentations on Humanitarian UAV
Applications, Missions, Best Practices, Guidelines, Technologies,
Software and Regulations. These talks were given by myself, KU, DJI, KLL
and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Nepal. The second day
focused on direct hands-on training. DJI took the lead by training 30+
participants on how to use the Phantom 3 UAVs safely, responsibly.
Pix4D, also on site, followed up by introducing their imagery-analysis
software."
This is pretty cool and should be emulated all over the world.

best quadcopter with camera deal yet! $50
http://bgr.com/2015/09/28/drone-camera-amazon-udi-quadcopter/
"This great little quadcopter drone typically retails for $100, which is already a pretty sweet deal. At under $50, it’s a no-brainer. It’s obviously not going to be a top-of-the-line drone at this price point. But it’s more than good enough to have some fun with, and you’ll capture some great footage in the process."
