Personal Spy Copters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Air Hogs Hawk Eye Remote-Control Helicopter by Spinmaster

— April 22, 2010 — Tech
The Air Hogs Hawk Eye remote-control helicopter by Spinmaster can take clear, steady video shots while in flight. The spy cam is mounted in front of the motor and the force and speed of the two three-inch rotors are adjusted via a computer chip.

As personal spy equipment goes, the Air Hogs Hawk Eye may not be the most stealthy, but the $65 remote-control helicopter looks like it could be a lot of fun for DIY aerial shots around the neighborhood.

The gallery shows the Hawk Eye in the first two shots, and its close relation, the Sharp Shooter, in the others.
