Okay... I'd like to see a drone with an analog camera too. It should be easy enough with a lightweight 135 with MD and a remote input. You'll want a gimbal mount with 3D control and some way to preview what the film camera is seeing.

Everything you've listed is already available.

There's at least on you tube video of some bonehead taking his aircraft to ~3,000 feet, through the cloud cover. Can you believe he
lost sight of it. I'm surprised are you?
I'm in the neighborhood of O'Hare in Chicago & there have been several sightings by commercial pilots.
I'd be inclined to suggest that mandatory neutering be prescribed.
Another one in GB had images of submarine pens and other shots flying parallel to a bridge, both illegal acts over there.
The best thing about that one is they were able to track him down.

You'd gang some kind of little digi or video camera to it with comparable angle of view, and obviously well aligned, basically to act like a sportfinder, or perhaps TLR style. The rest (film advance etc) should be easy to trick out.

I am more inclined to bestowing a lobotomy when purchased.

Long ago analog photographers were active with unmanned balloons and kites. Their techniques would still work for the more clever quadracopter fans.

You mean like having to comply with FAA regulations? No-Fly Zones? Verifying Temporary Flight Restrictions? Contacting the nearby flight control towers when flying? Having to deal with negative news stories about 'A hot-air balloon was sighted earlier today over Yellow Banks State Park, and a man with a camera was spotted inside the basket. This is a national security issue and is being investigated by the federal government as possible terrorist activity concerning the local deciduous infrastructure"?

I think what they should do when they catch people being irresponsible and stupidly dangerous things like that is confiscate all their RC models of every type and the radio gear, then deny them the right to ever own any other RC equipment ever again. If caught owning any RC gear in the future then send them to prison. Isn't that analogous to what they do to computer hackers?

That "unnecessary" Morse code is still used for long distance radio links that fail to meet conditions for voice communications.

Such as bouncing off auroras and the Moon.

WHOOPS, I thought this thread was about the people who drone on and on about how they hate digital photography.

Now I realize it's about the US drone program and how you shouldn't get caught taking pictures of it.

Sometimes these headings are misleading.
