Pretty neat video.

I've been thinking about buying one of these "drones" (technically quad copters) to film the kids playing on the beach, or inspect the roof of my house (2 stories)

As Curtis pointed out, these will need to be flown below 400', especially near an airport or aircraft. Most of the drone flyers are not aware of the restrictions. Last thing we want is the FAA cracking down. Several recent incidents came to mind (NY where 2 guys got arrested for flying too close to a chopper for example).
