Yeah the battery life is pretty horrendous considering the target audience, but drones never have good battery life. In order for something like this to be really successful it needs to be able to provide Jerry and friends at least an hour of fun.

Really cool idea but like anything, the first edition is bound to have some flaws.

Rad idea, think it will need a few iterations before it's truly a useable bit of kit though. I can see the lack of sensors to stop it crashing into things like trees or chairs, the max speed of 25km/h and non removable batteries being big problems.

It'll do 25mph (40km/hr) but yeah it's a bit slow to be used for skiing and snowboarding.

Yep, you're right. My bad, though that is still too slow for most skiing situations worth filming
