A stunning drone time-lapse sequence composed of circular trajectories around the Greek island of Folegrandos by Hong Kong video production company Visual Suspect.
The Astro Elroy – a single seater semi-autonomous passenger drone capable of 71km/h and 25 minutes of flight time carrying up to 116kg.
Although it has onboard controls for emergency manual override, the idea is that the passenger enters their chosen destination and the drone does the rest.

Further to Carlow Weather guy Alan O’Reilly (him off the telly!) breaking his drone…
And setting up a successful GoFundMe campaign to replace it…
Alan, who provides weather forecasts to the nation for nada, is now back in the sky.

We’re calling it the Alan Parsons O’Reilly Project.
Much-followed Carlow Weather guy Alan O’Reilly (him off the telly!) has broken his drone.
And he’s set up a GoFundMe page to help him replace it.
Alan, who provides his forecasting to the nation for nothing, requires 1450 lids to fly again.
He writes:
“Sadly my old drone hit the rocks and I’m to to replace it so I can continue to share photos from the air…”
Anyone?
