5-Pound UAV Flies For 50 Minutes, Streams HD From Over 3 Miles 115
An anonymous reader writes "Looks like those guys from Aeryon Labs are at it again. Today they announced the SkyRanger a bigger brother to their Scout drone (the one that the Libyan rebels used back in 2011). This one claims flight time of close to an hour, streaming 1080p30 HD video, a range of over 3 miles and a camera that can shoot 15 Megapixel stills and thermal video simultaneously. Not only that but it pops out of a backpack and is ready to fly instantly. It ain't cheap, but it can fly at 40 mph!"

Is this an ad? There's no story to go with it, just links to their website...
And even then, says it's expensive, but doesn't give a price. WTF slashdot? How much did they pay for this?

And pretty easily trackable if they're broadcasting with enough power to send HD signals 3 miles.
