| Verhagen X2-Electrical mini helicopters: whisper silent operation Verhagen's very latest development: the electrically powered mini-helicopter. Not a toy, but a high tech fully operational flying camera. Available with carbon fibre pan & tilt unit. Suitable for normal digital video, still photography, HD-video and 16 and 35 mm film cameras. | | Important feature of this flying camera unit is its relatively silent operation. The whirr of the blades is stronger than the engine noise. This makes the Verhagen X2-Electric the best choice for discreet camera work. The machine is very light and instantly ready for use. Take it out of the car and your camera is at a height of 50 metres in 2 minutes. | | |
