by The Editors on April 18, 2012

Brain Farm has just shut down the “who has the coolest camera” race with the Schiebel Camcopter S-100 unmanned Cineflex camera.

The S-100 navigates via pre-programmed GPS waypoints or is operated with a pilot control unit. Missions are planned and controlled via a simple point-and-click graphical user interface.
