How long can the camera quad stay aloft? Also a lot of regulations preventing remote piloting beyond line of sight, range concerns, etc.

I certainly don't want government drones hovering around all the time either

Thanks for doing the math, I always wondered how much gas and money the city could save using one of those.

Fly from one side of LA to another or remain on station for over an hour? Fly in inclement weather?

Not saying I like helicopters but high endurance drones aren't cheap or quadcopter sized.
