Getting off the ground: Cheap drones for photography
|2 Previous
3 The quads
I spent about two and a half weeks with each of the quads, flying them indoors and outdoors, sometimes aggressively and sometimes conservatively, usually with the aim of getting footage but occasionally just to get some flight time. Here's what I learned about each.
Hubsan X4
The Hubsan X4 could pass for a toy. It costs just $70, including a radio flight controller and a built-in 0.3MP camera that shoots VGA video.
It's the sturdiest and cheapest quad of the bunch, and a good way to get used to using a flight controller. It's small enough to fly indoors, and not big enough to do much damage. It ships with a propeller guard and a spare set of propellers, which will come in handy as it bumps into walls and furniture.
Flying it isn't quite the same as a more expensive quad, either. The main difference is that it doesn't hover on its own, so you need to keep your fingers on the sticks at all time. The throttle is very sensitive, and can send the X4 rocketing 60 to 70 feet in the air in a matter of seconds so it's easy to feel intimidated and to lose control.
No, the X4 isn't a tool for serious aerial work. but it is a cheap, fun, low-risk way to test out the hobby if you aren't ready to commit to a more capable quad and want at least a chance at capturing some birds-eye views.
HeliMax 1SQ V-Cam
The $130 HeliMax 1SQ V-Cam records 720p video, a bit cleaner and smoother than what the X4 can shoot. The camera angle is adjustable (pre-flight, at least), and it takes 1MP stills, which are basically frames plucked out of the video feed. It comes with a 2GB microSDHC card and a reader.

The 1SQ also improves on handling. The throttle is subtler, making it easier to control - especially to land. Corrective steering still looks violent in the videos, but it's not quite as jarring as the X4. The flight controller has some extra functions, including buttons to trigger video mode, a still-photo shutter button, and a button to make the quad flip, which is pretty awesome.
On the downside, it's more fragile than the X4. Toward the end of the testing period, one of the legs broke while landing crooked on a soft, muddy baseball field. We got a few more flights out of it, but the injury just got worse with each hard landing. A dab of superglue could probably get the thing back in flying condition, but it just didn't hold up like the X4.
Even with its marginally better image quality and smoother flight, you can skip the 1SQ. The footage and photos are still rarely usable (a handful of our videos came back corrupted), and it's prone to damage. The X4 is a better way to learn to fly, regardless of price.
Parrot AR.Drone 2.0
The $300 Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 (we tested the Elite edition) is by far the most capable quad of the group. It hovers in place, which makes it much easier to fly smoothly and, in turn, to capture stable videos and well-framed shots.
|The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0, about 40 to 45 feet in the air.
The AR.Drone is controlled via smartphone or tablet app over a WiFi signal (as opposed to a typical radio controller). This offers a huge upside, in that the pilot gets a first-person view. It's an immersive flying experience and also makes it easier to steer.
Image quality is much better than the cheaper drones. It's equipped with a 720p front-facing video camera, similar to what a Flip camcorder would've recorded in 2010, as well as a low-res, low-quality ground-facing camera. It also captures stills, which appear to be individual frames pulled from the video feed. Content can either record to the mobile device, or to a thumb drive inside the drone.
Even with its relatively steady flight, capturing smooth video with the Parrot can still be a challenge. The thrum of the motors and propellers is enough to set off a slight rolling-shutter effect when it hovers in place, and a gentle breeze exaggerates it even more. It's at its best when it's moving slowly, capturing panning or tracking clips, rather than trying to hold its position for a steady, head-on shot.
Stills are much easier to shoot than with the cheaper drones, though it's still tough to frame a shot when the camera is bouncing around at the mercy of gravity and air currents. The exposure settings are also completely automated and it only captures JPEG files, so set your expectations accordingly.
The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is fun to fly, and you'll be able to capture satisfactory footage, depending on your needs. It's still not a substitute for a quad like a DJI Phantom II with a gimbal-mounted camera - it doesn't fly as freely, and the image quality is about two cuts below what you see in all those viral videos circulating. But it's a solid place to start, and if you graduate up to a more serious drone, you'll still find some uses for your Parrot.
In short, yes, there's some value in buying a cheap quad before you commit to a more serious drone. You'll learn the basics of flying, which will save you some time and money on repairs to a higher-end drone down the line. You'll also be able to see first-hand how cool it is to put a camera in the air - even if almost all of the footage is too wobbly and low-res to share with anybody but friends and family.
Maybe, just maybe, with lots of editing and patience, you'll be able to get some cool angles on youth or community sports games, or new perspectives on landscapes. Flying cameras have potential uses for many kinds of photography, and with the hobby just getting off the ground (sorry, couldn't resist), we're likely to see innovative photos and videos for months and years to come. And at the very least, it's a lot of fun to get these machines in the air.

If your looking for the absolute best photography drone check out this post
I am running my own website about Drones, the article is good upto some extent .. for more one want to learn about best quadcopter drones to buy should need to read my post
A complete guide for drones are now available on dronersguides.com. Helped me a lot in terms of understanding the drone world! You can also find everything about drone photographing on there: https://www.dronersguides.com/drones/
Drones for professional photographing are incredible: https://www.dronersguides.com/photographing/
What to expect next?
I was actually going through a lot of articles about quad-copters comparing prices structures and much more.
And I found a nice article about the quadcopter with camera and gps that clarifies lot of question and other things. check that over here http://gadgetmeetsguy.com/quadcopter-with-camera-and-gps-beginners-guide/
keep in mind many a times the cheap products are not the best but I can say that one can easily expect a fine quality drone with fine camera in a budget of $300 but if you are looking for high quality stills and others you should keep your budget higher for that.
ELF VRdrone is a selfie and 3D virtual reality nano drone.
Nice videos and helpful article. Thanks! Personally, I think the use of drones will primarily involve phodrography whether that is to take videos or phodros or just to get a view from that height. Regulation is important as it brings safety but also professionalism to an exciting technology. What do you think? I hope that schools start to teach phodrography as it involves photography skills as well as drone flying, maintenance and understanding of flight. A great combination and maybe even more marketable of a major than photography alone. Yes we have to put up with the new and we need to set standards. The opportunities for phodrographers are great. Let's not forget our neighbors though. Great ideas for economical drones!
Out of those three listed I think the AR Parrot is by far the best one. I guess that is pretty obvious because it's more expensive and has a lot more features. It's so cool that you can control the aircraft with the tilt of your phone! It can make it difficult to control at times though. About a week ago I clipped a tree, my Parrot fell to the ground, and the central cross snapped :/ I was able to fix it myself using an article I found. This can be a real pain so I'll post it just in case anyone is interested. Happy droning! :)
For great drone photography, you have to invest slightly over $1000 for a Phantom 2 Vision+. This will get you a GoPro camera and a gimal (stabilizer). But as this article point out, you need to get experience flying a drone so it is best to buy a Parrot or Hubsan first and learn how to fly and feel comfortable before moving up to a better drone and camera. There are also videos on YouTube which show you how to add a GoPro camera to a Parrot AR including a stabilizer which is another option. This is a very good article as it highlights the learning curve that is required to fly and drone and also to take great photos.
I run a drone site for beginners and we have quite a few articles on low cost aerial photography including this one:
It's possible to get decent - notice I didn't say great - but decent shots for $180-$300 (stills!).
It's possible to get high quality stills for $500 or so.
Getting good video starts at about a grand - because you need a gimbal to really accomplish that.
Here is a still from a $180 setup:
I've used a 'model helicopter' as well as a home made drone that holds a compact camera. Even the most expensive of the expensive cannot capture rock steady footage however... I also own a program called Mercalli 3.0. The only purpose of this software is to fix the shakes and quivers from videos.
I'd suggest if you intend to buy less than Parrot quad, you are only buying frustration. Even the Parrot needs post shoot stabilization to produce any watchable video. Run it through Mercalli -- even the $50 do-everything but nothing properly app designed for fixing go-pro's terrible images and a whole new world opens up to you.
I first discovered simple video and its flaws when I used a smart phone to record my daughter's Camaro for buyer in another state. I'm fairly steady with heavy cameras but smart phones are another thing again. It wasn't until after the car was sold I discovered Mercalli V2 as a plugin for Vegas Pro edit software. I'll put up Camaro film and start a thread later.
C'mon guys - this is a PHOTOGRAPHY website, NOT one for TOYS. All three quads you have tested are just that - TOYS. The MINIMUM for aerial video of any vaguely acceptable standard has to be something which can carry at least a GoPro 3, with a stabilising gimble - for example, the DJI Phantom II you mentioned in the prelude. This, versus other similarly priced quads, including perhaps the 550 hexacopter - WOULD have been an interesting article. This one is pointless.
The article points out, quite correctly, that drones are not easy to navigate or deliver results that impress anyone. Drones are noisy, wobble, vibrate, crash, run out of juice, and infuriate some people. Potential buyers should be duly warned, rather than be baited by exotic flyovers shots that require months of practice (and losses) or better equipment. Drone shots may find various useful applications, but probably not public events or sports. Licensing, insurance, and local ordinances make this difficult. Few players or spectactors will welcome a buzzing, gyrating gizmo over the playing field, and the fish-eye or shakey video won't be worth the trouble.
Like so many i had hopes for a good article to show me a bit of the world of Quads related to photography, unfortunately... it is again just another low quality article: there are ONLY TWO(2!!!) Photos made with them, and if you are thinking that the vídeo exemples would save the article, think again, the second one is just as good(VERY BAD!) as the inside of let's say a washing machine! -_-
Another wast of time, it starts to be rotine that we find BETTER articles in the coments provided by informed readers. My thanks goes to those who share truely good info! :)
(like this one: http://pureviewclub.com/2014/23967)
Gotta get me one of these if you can do this with it:
Never seen such a crap! There are plenty good examples of cheap drones on youtube with impressive videos and stills.
A shame for dpreview for such a lousy article
what models and brands? i am interested to get one..
Gh4 used for the aerials: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DQ7CSgogEJA
WTF...this has to be the worst article ever written. Are you guys hiring 6 year old kiddos now. And who thought that 2nd video was worthy to show? C'mon guys..seriously?
At least one enterprising individual has rigged a Pentax Q (MILC) onto a DJI Phantom to produce stills a bit better than a GoPro:
He uses the built-in interval timer to shoot frames every so often. Makes me wonder if a Panasonic GM1 can be used the same way to put a larger sensor in the air...
The Publishing Services division of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is finding quite a bit of use for drones in taking low-level aerial footage of Church buildings and facilities, historic sites, and family and group activities. The video is used for training facilities managers and general media purposes.
Publishing Services missionaries are mainly using Phantom II drones equipped with GoPro cameras.
Having seen this work, I am convinced it is the wave of the future. Cheaper and more controllable than flying in an airplane or helicopter, there is some demand out there for commercial and event video filmed from drones. Commercial surveys for fast food companies, proposed site locations, big weddings -- Now is the time to get into this.
Guess what, it is illegal to make money even for the godly mormons and the rest of us 'gods to be' godly human trash.
The infinite wisdom of the FAA, dragging heels and tons of cash from lobbyist, have yet to allow 'commercial' drone use. PPL developing drones, must get waivers or do testing in Canada - Dog save the queen.
So much like the highly profitable LDS church, DONATIONS are the ONLY source of funding for drones by individuals in the U.S. of corrupting money.
May some god of some sort bless the USA on its celebration day, glad this country exists for all those Multi-nation corps and 1%ers, who needs the 99% (except to die in stupid wars of course)?
May Dog bless us all !
not a single decent picture . . .
Many of you have commented on the lack of still photos from "drones." The current trend with most of the smaller quad copters is to carry small video cameras up to and including the GoPro.
For those of you interested in carrying a DSLR, you will need to look at a custom built copter. There are many companies including myself that will build 6 or 8 motor octocopters to lift cameras as large as needed.
I was on the team that shot the video for the Panasonic GH4 promotional video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHKJ5eE7I1k&feature=youtu.be
Typically I shoot a lot of real estate photos using a Panasonic GH2, but I have flown larger cameras like the Canon 5D III. Here are some stills: https://www.facebook.com/VisionaryPerspectivesLLC
These machines can be an incredible tool if they are used professionally and safely in a controlled environment.
The FAA has not released the guidelines or created the approval process for companies to get licenses. FAA, please make this happen.
No need for custom copters, there are oodles of choices for larger cams, some with nice features such as retracting landing gear - ex. DJI S800/S1000, big expensive copters !!
A must is isolation and a 2D/3D gimbal, vibration is the constant enemy, engine, props, etc.
PS: Realtors are willing to pay next to nothing for your hard copter work, maybe ONLY for extremely expensive homes - multi-million homes in hot markets.
A very cool feature though is a thorough look at property of home and then an 'entrance' into home via copter to interior shots of similar quality - very cool!!
I would not consider these turn key solutions. You still need to program the flight controller, solder wires, assemble the frame, wire the video transmitter, balance the propellers, program the radios and more. This requires skills and experience that most people don't have.
TL;DR: "cheap drones are useless for photography"
I'd say for pro-applications, quadrocopter is there since 2006, the firm.
from their website: Our heavy lift edition Gryphon GD- 8 and CineStar 8 HL supports a payload of 12 lbs for 12 minutes.
Quadrocopter also builds and designs fully customized multirotor platforms for Military, EMS, Fire, Police, Search and Rescue and scientific applications.
I just can't stand the word "drone" in that term, drone sounds much military, and even some copters flew by GPS data, they're not 100% autonom.
I believe autonomous is very possible but you must have the processing capability ON copter. There are gobs of research being done, mostly for U$A military, where 'swarming' programming (real primitive AI) but also pre-set routing with AI evasion & avoidance - its in the hands of automation experts !
Drone photography is going to have a major impact, for over a century, we where able to shoot pics from a very limited variation in angle.
This is going to be a booming business.
Drones and 3D printing will have a never seen impact on society.
For over a century ? Surely something else will occur that is better ? Odd stmt.
Remote flying visual media will be around for some time but in 100 years it may be unneeded/unwanted.
Lots of Texan Yahoos shooting down drones - many Texans do not understand technology so shoot it first understand it later !! ;)
A fun Article, for those of us who are new to this topic. The Comments are even more valuable.
A helium blimp, tethered or multi-motored. would seem to offer easier stability, but no doubt there are long discussions of these elsewhere.
Size, and vulnerability to airgun pellets, are obvious cons.
Its called weather/wind, unless you can stabilize location of helium blimp - forget it!
Current gen copters are mostly popular due to stable Flight control equip, auto stabilize, return home, auto level, rotate around specific point in space (great for video of a landmark/building), etc.
Good FC allows even a NewBie to fly quickly !!
For learning to fly, a better investment might be a flight simulator program, which lets you crash any number of times without damage to persons or property. Of all the simulator programs, AeroSim RC has the ugliest graphics but the most accurate flight characteristics, and includes several for-photography multicopter models. You fly the simulated models with an actual RC transmitter, tethered to a USB port adapter. You can use the xmitter later for real models.
I have flown several of the small copters described in the article, and IMHO none of them is a good preparation for a proper camera carrying platform with good stability and a real, stabilized camera gimble.
It really is amazing what even a few extra feet of camera height can do for landscape shots. You can even re-interpret hopeless cliches with a whole new twist.
So true, man's wish to be able to fly, our envy of birds sans pooping, except when over a liar (all) politician, then poop release mode !! ;)
Professionals used to use real helicopters (still do) but it is hundreds of dollars to rent per hour, vibration is an issue unless expensive equip used, then even more $$ per hour.
If U$A FAA got off 'rear heads' and set some rules, lots of nice video could be in the making for money !!
Objective of the article is good, but maybe content is lacking. A $100 piece of equipment might be very cheap for some but might be expensive for others and also depending on its purpose, quality of photos, and it's capability. It should be properly categorized like categorizing the the entry level, mid, and full frame or high end dSLR.
I'm interested on aerial photography using quadcopters and was looking at DJI Phantom as entry level investment. I guess the content of the article or the quality of the output (photos and videos) of the products mentioned are not in a level of what we can expect from a photo or video enthusiast people.
Maybe it would be best to define what is the target output quality, then categorized its capability before comparing it's prices and avoid title such as "cheap" because it is very subjective.
absolutely nauseating to see so many posts just canning the concept of flying quadcopters. Any one would think that they are all carrying WMDs the way that people carry on.
They are a relatively new and exciting concept in obtaining new avenues to photography, in the same way that underwater housings, crash camsGoPros etc are
If you are not interested in embracing them, then FFS dont try and turn a DPR article into a pulpit for professing your views on their evils. Take that nonsense elsewhere.
Like any new tool, they can be used responsibly or irresponsibly. If you are worried about their use, then perhaps better to offer constructive suggestions about guidelines rather than just nonsense like 'dont encourage them'.
One could equally argue that the use of mid to long range telephotos lenses in urban communities is more intrusive (most copters use very wide lenses, and you are far less likely to see personal details than a complact telephoto on the beach)
Don't encourage them.
It is not surprising that drones that can do more serious photography also cost a lot more, often equipped with eight, or sixteen, props!
Using slow-flying model aircraft is often much better, but they can't stop in midair, of course!
These are all Junk! Crap products, Crap Video, Crap Photos!!
C'mon DP Review, Almost all of us here have investments in good compacts, good bridge cameras, entry level DSLR's and they blow this garbage out of the water!
Please, post something about this topic that we can use!
Did you read even the first few paragraphs of the article, about low-cost ways to explore the hobby?
Perhaps that's beneath you, but its a good thing for most people to consider. These things are easy to fly, compared to, say, an old RC helicopter. That doesn't mean that they aren't easy to crash, a lot, and damage.
Also, if you read more of the article, you'd realize that there are challenges to getting a good shot that really have nothing to do with the quality of the camera.
Most people would be better off practicing with an inexpensive quadcopter before putting $1K+ of equipment at risk. You are free to do otherwise, I'd love to see the photos you take just before your camera and copter smash into the ground.
Dear easp... respectfully mind your own business. The rest of us would much rather Mr Elite-Read-Betwixt-the-Lines buy a $5000 unit, afix another $5000 in gear to it and then crash it into the unforgiving pavement.
I have been flying DJI for several months, whats the problem to get good pictures?
I wish the article on this topic was better written and more informative, and that the videos had any production value or creativity -- I think DPreview should keep the quality level higher on these features.
Wow, it's depressing how short sighted people are, and scary how ignorant people are as I read these posts...and the posts are from supposed photographers who are scared of cameras!!! It's like when the wimps in Europe let Hitler take over other countries...nobody really cared until it was them who were at risk. Wait until it's YOUR hobby that gets restricted and see who is left to stand up for you!!!
Hardly are "drones" louder than a lawnmower or 100 other common things, or kids playing games, swimming in their pool (yelling hours on end). And it you can here the vehicle, then you know they are there, so hardly can they "spy" on you, which is illegal anyhow - we already have privacy laws on photography.
"Wimps in Europe letting Hitler..."
For starters as far as I'm concerned as soon as you've mentioned Hitler in an unrelated argument any other point you've made is worthless. Secondly:
Seriously, go f**k yourself you giant a$$hole! 2 days after Germany invaded Poland my country declared war on Germany, with troops being immediately dispatched and hundreds of thousands of people subsequently loosing their lives so you f**king dare say we sat by and did nothing.
@CNY_AP "....so hardly can they "spy" on you, which is illegal anyhow - we already have privacy laws on photography."
fwiw, the 'privacy laws' (in the US) in respect to making photographs are not that strict. One can photograph any person while on shared public property. The airspace over one's private property is not considered 'private.' So the laws aren't that clearly spelled out. Celebrities and people of note are also 'fair game' (as in the 'public interest.') The paparazzi have been photographing things like celebrity weddings already via real helicopters. As the popularity of 'drone' photography increases and the more people might feel their privacy is indeed being invaded, then the existing laws may very well change. But right now, a photographer can indeed 'spy' on anybody in public with the current technology. What they do with those images is also under certain laws (no slander or libel, e.g) but the uses are pretty liberal right now.
You cannot photograph someone who has an expectation of privacy, such as in their back yard. As for "spying" when a person is in public, hardly is a multi-rotor the way to do it - clearly none of you own a multi-rotor.
It would be VERY difficult to get a good picture, yet be far enough away for it to not be heard..simply physics and photography 101. In order to be far enough away to not be heard, it would need to be a telephoto lens. Any photographer knows the more you zoom in, the more the camera shake blurs the picture. I shoot pictures with no motor/prop spinning at all (I turn the airplane's motors of and glide), yet if I zoom in from the widest setting at all (still zoomed wider than 1:1), there is blurring at 1/500s shutter speeds.
Even the paparazzi whackos haven't used multi-rotors. A SLR and telephoto lens is 10x better and more realistic. And what would you be doing in public that you wouldn't want photographed? If in public, by definition, people can see you, so what's the difference...that's the USA's laws' logic anyhow.
Keeping giving rights away, and before you know it, we'll have no hobbies left. What's the point in living with nothing fun to do - just to be alive is enough? Eating and watching TV is that much fun?
Been doing it as a hobby since 1997 (with a Fuji F20 which works perfectly) using an electric powered RC airplane. Advantage of the airplane is that I
Can power off the motor and glide - no motor or prop vibrations. Disadvantage is I need a large spot to land, so I am putting together a large quad-rotor
BTW, "drone" (which implies automatically/autonomously guided) is not really correct term, and has a military connotation to it, adding that much more craziness to the ignorant public, so us hobbyists wish the term wasn't used.
How about taping a smartphone with image stabilization to a cheap drone? You get to see the video feed (with delays) and at least the stills could be better?
A drone is a flying fan which can easily go out of control and hit a person or overhead wires etc. The smaller the drone the more susceptible to light breezes, unexpected gusts, etc you are. When you factor the above in plus the anxiety the general public has regarding privacy you realize there is hardly a time or place you can use a drone. I found that in aerial photography you need to have different solutions for different environments. kite photography, mast photography, or simply getting a camera up on a pole are often better solutions that a flying fan blade drone.
A car is a rolling battering ram which can easily go out of control and hit a person, demolish your living room etc. The larger the vehicle the most susceptible to box roll, under-steering, snaking or jack-knifing. I found in life you need different solutions for different situations, walking or using a bicycle are often better solutions than driving a metal death box.
Seriously, I don't understand how society has become so risk adverse whilst billions of people pile into their cars every day with no idea of the risk they pose to themselves and others.
Drone piloting is comparatively a walk in the park.
True. I use masts, poles and full size aircraft. Anything else is a waste of time if you want quality images. I been doing this 20 years. Drones is a pain in the butt. Always will be, no matter how the tech develops. It's just a big mnarketing snazzo what with the military stuff taking off. Gotta be cool ya know. Cost a fortune considering crashes etc. And nobody escapes crashes. NOBODY.

You call those quality images? You gotta be kidding. Try selling some of them. lol.
The Parrot toy "similar in size and capabilities to the Phantom"?? Oh dear.
Every time I see a drone flying overhead, I wish I had done better in my antiaircraft marksmanship in the Army
My problem was I had to use a .50 Cal with steel sights.
These drones are little more than a nuisance in residential areas. Plus the whole issue of privacy comes to mind. Way out in the countryside away from other people they are okay I guess, but not in our cities. I suspect that as the numbers of urban drones increases, so will the numbers of BB and pellet guns, at least I hope so. I don't even like photographers walking the streets taking my photo, much less a drone spying on me from above. I'm seeing and hearing a lot of opposition to even PD using these.
Noise is annoying but privacy issues are ridiculous--do you get your shorts all twisted whenever you see a person with a camera? It's 100x easier to get a shot of someone standing on the ground with a good camera than shooting (usually blindly) from a vibrating "drone". And you can hear a quad-rotor, but you'd never know if someone takes your picture while they are standing on the ground using a telephoto lens. And I would hope anyone on this site has some common sense - you can't see through windows during the day, for one example.
I don't blame you for feeling that way...and it would be illegal for the person to shoot such images as your fenced in back yard is literally the legal definition of a private area. It's 100x more realistic for some kid to climb a tree or simply look out his/her 2nd story window to take pictures over your fence though.
yep, probably, but the AMA rules (which often are based on FAA regulations) say you are not to fly over people. I'm not sure how legally binding FAA regulations are. A recent court case decided that a FAA regulation carried no legal authority. Those multi-rotor "drones" (I own one but haven't finished building it form parts/scratch) fall out of the sky like a 2+ lb rock when the battery dies, unlike a R/C airplane.
Enjoy playing with these things in public while you can. The regulations are going to come down like a ton of bricks, once a few people get hit with them. Motor-powered toy aircraft (planes with gasoline engines) are already usually restricted to designated open flying areas.
Gasoline engines have nothing to do with RC airplanes being restricted to designated open flying areas. The electric powered RC airplanes are now just as powerful or in some cases, more powerful than gasoline or nitro powered RC airplanes. I know this because I fly large electric powered RC airplanes. One of my large electric RC airplanes below:

Im testing a form before I purchase your service.
Im having a problem when the form submits the information and then opens a PAYPAL checkout window up, the chrome pop up blocker blocks paypal from opening up the form JOT FORMS submitted. Is there a solution for this because most users will not know after they hit submit they are being blocked?
seems like it may be a huge problem

You are using the Paypal Standard integration. The form will redirect you to the Paypal payment page, not a popup. I think the preview parameter is present in the form URL so that's why a popup opens up when you click the submit button.
Please access the form using this URL: https://www.jotform.us/form/62586347861164, not this https://www.jotform.us/form/62586347861164?preview=true.

The 2015 CBE Hall of Fame Classic, opened play tonight for the 15th year with two matchups at host schools sites. The CBE Hall of Fame Classic includes 8 teams and 16 games over 15 days at nine different venues which will conclude with a champion being crowned on November 24th at Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO.
In the first game to tip off, the Kansas State Wildcats played host to the Maryland – Eastern Shore Hawks at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, KS The game began as a closely contested battle, but Kansas State took control in the middle of the first half and controlled play throughout the second half to emerge with an 80-53 victory.
The score was tight early as the teams exchanged the lead or were tied three times in the first 5 minutes, and UMES held a 9-8 lead at the 15:00 mark. Kansas State then took advantage of a turnover by the Hawks when senior guard Justin Edwards scored on a jumper with 14:28 left in the half giving the Wildcats the lead which they would never relinquish. K-State took control and stretched its lead to 14 at the half and as much as 30 in the second period.
Turnovers were the big difference in this contest as the Hawks (0-1) turned the ball over 22 times and the Wildcats (1-0) were able to convert those into 22 points as the coasted to a 27-point win.
Kansas State junior forward Wesley Iwundu led all scorers and rebounders with 23 points and ten boards. The Iwundu got help from 17 points by Edwards and from freshman guard Barry Brown who came off the bench to score 17 points in his collegiate debut. UMES was led in scoring by senior guard Devin Martin who tallied 18 points while junior guard Bakari Copeland led the team with eight boards and chipped in with 14 points.
Kansas State 80 – Maryland – Eastern Shore 53 (Box Score; Game Recaps: Kansas State; UMES)
In Columbia, MO, Missouri took on Wofford in front of a home crowd at Mizzou Arena. While Wofford held a lead early, the Tigers turned in a strong shooting performance and won their season opener, 83-74.
Although they shot the ball well for the game, the Tigers did not begin the contest that way missing their first four shots. Wofford took advantage of it and held leads of 5-0 and 8-2 after a three-point bucket by freshman guard Fletcher Magee at the 15:32 mark in the first half. But MU found their touch and scored on four of their next 5 shots, going on a 9-0 run over the next 2:23. After a steal and layup by freshman guard KJ Walton at the 8:48 mark in the first half, the Tigers had finished a 20-2 run and led by 12. Another 8-2 run by the Terriers closed the gap to six, but Mizzou (1-0) scored on its next two possessions, stretched its lead into double figures, and took a 39-29 lead into the locker room.
An early second half run by Wofford cut the Tiger lead to five with 13:38 remaining, but Missouri again regained composure and pushed its lead out to 15 with 4:39 to play. The Terriers would not go away however and mounted a 15-6 run over the next 3:37, and after another three pointer by Fletcher, his fifth of the evening, Wofford trailed by only 6 with 1:02 left. The Tigers secured the 9-point win going 8-for-10 from the free throw line in the final minute.
In the end, Wofford (0-1) attempted 27 three point shots, making ten of them, and ended up shooting 38.2% on the night, while the Tigers looked to score inside and shot 56.0% for the game and held a 34-14 advantage points in the paint.
All ten of the Missouri players that saw the floor scored. The Tigers were led in scoring by freshman forward Kevin Puryear, who scored 2 points in his collegiate debut. Sophomore guard Namon Wright grabbed a game-high seven rebounds while also kncking in 18 points off the bench. Wofford's Fletcher led all scorers with 22 points off the bench in his collegiate debut. The Terries had three others double-figure scorers as senior forward Justin Gordon scored 19, junior guard Eric Garcia scored 14, and senior guard Spencer Collins chipped in with ten points.
Missouri 83 - Wofford 74 (Box Score; Game Recaps: Missouri; Wofford)

Microsoft is planning to offer what many believe will be free upgrades to Windows 7 from Vista. Tech ARP acquired a document distributed to OEMs which divulges details of what is currently being referred to as the Windows 7 Upgrade Program. The program is designed to help bring forward those consumers who may be holding off making new PC purchases until after Windows 7 officially arrives.

I just spoke to a friend of mine that said they downloaded the beta version, and LAN-ed this past weekend. XP games works fine, and the OS is stable. They did not encounter any problems.
They should refund all Vista purchases, or for that matter, upgrade all Vista Releases to Windows 7.
Vista looks good, but is a terrible OS.

They'd be insane not to offer free upgrades from Vista to 7.
Who's going to buy a new PC when 7 is just around the corner? If it's a free upgrade (essentially a service pack), then anyone who wants a PC will just go ahead and get Vista now, especially since Vista and 7 are so similar.

Banana Nut Cookies
READY IN: 22mins
Recipe by Mimadoll
A great alternative to breads and muffins when you want to use up those over ripe bananas. Savor a fresh banana taste, enhanced with spices and nuts. A perfect treat for any time of day.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 1/2 large bananas)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup chopped nuts (pick your favorite or even add chocolate chips)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- In a bowl, mix the mashed bananas and baking soda. Let sit for 2 minutes. The baking soda will react with the acid in the bananas which in turn will give the cookies their lift and rise.
- Mix the banana mixture into the butter mixture. Mix together the flour, salt, and spices and sift into the butter and banana mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold into the batter the pecans or chocolate chips if using. Drop in dollops onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Let cool on wire racks.
- Makes about 30 cookies.

Determined to halt a long-running sitcom slump, the six broadcast networks are vigorously, if not always wisely, pursuing the next big comedy hit. At the just-concluded "upfronts" in New York, where the networks reveal their fall schedules to advertisers to get them to commit ad dollars ahead of the season, executives introduced 21 comedies, up from 16 last year. That brings the fall total to 52, an 18% increase over last fall's 44.
Why the renewed interest in the genre? In part, it's a response to pent-up demand: There hasn't been a real breakout sitcom hit since Will & Grace, and there hasn't been a blockbuster since Friends. The networks figure we're due.
You also can point to the cyclical nature of TV, which is always chasing the next big thing to replace the last big thing that it just overdid to death. After all, there are only so many forensic crime dramas the market will bear. And as Fox and ABC learned to their regret, there's a limit to the appetite for reality, among both viewers and advertisers, which is why there are no new reality shows on fall schedules.
Still, TV being a business, the driving force behind this rash of sitcoms is economic. Nothing on TV is more reliably profitable than a hit sitcom. The format is a better repeat performer than all reality shows and almost all dramas, and it performs better in syndication.
Of course, the economics work only if the shows succeed, and that often, though not always, depends on whether they're any good. As to that issue, keep in mind that the networks show only brief highlights from their pilots at the upfront presentations, so it isn't possible to form anything other than a fast first impression. Shows will change before they hit the air in fall, and so might my opinion.
With that caveat in place, a few of the new sitcoms do seem especially promising. I'm eager to see more of CBS' Two and a Half Men and Fox's A Minute With Stan Hooper. I also have tentative high hopes for Whoopi, a broad NBC comedy from the creators of 3rd Rock for Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg. A great talent, Goldberg could be just the sort of star-power boost the genre needs, as long as she remembers to maintain the line between funny/angry and scary/angry.
As always at this stage, many of the newly announced shows seem to be either too familiar or too similar (which tends to happen when a series is reduced to a one-line description and a three-minute clip).
Still, there does seem to be an overabundance of shows about uncomfortably blended families who are thrown together by divorce (CBS' Two and a Half Men and The Stones), marriage (ABC's It's All Relative), remarriage (UPN's All of Us), relocation (ABC's Back to Kansas and WB's Like Family), parental abandonment (WB's Run of the House) or employment upheaval (WB's All About the Andersons, NBC's Whoopi and Happy Family, Fox's Arrested Development and ABC's Hope & Faith).
The good news is that many of those shows feature multicultural casts. Things are not perfect, but those yearning for a more diverse schedule will find signs of improvement in stars such as Goldberg, Luis Guzman (Fox's Luis), Eve (UPN's The Opposite Sex), Steve Harvey (WB's Steve Harvey's Big Time) and Cheech Marin (Fox's The Ortegas)
Though you'll find new sitcoms on all the networks, each network has its own goal for fall. Here's a look at those goals and at the show that may best help the networks achieve them.
ABC: Reclaim Friday
ABC's sitcom goal this season is to relaunch its once-successful "TGIF" Friday comedy block. It's teaming the returning George Lopez and Life With Bonnie with the premiering Back to Kansas, a fish-out-of-water comedy that would have you believe Breckin Meyer could be mistaken for the coolest guy in the Midwest, simply by virtue of coming from New York.
The network's more realistic hope rests on Hope and Faith, starring Kelly Ripa as a fired soap star who moves in with her married, saner sister, Hope, who is played by Murphy Brown's Faith Ford. The clip relied too heavily on a slapstick food fight, but Ford is almost always amusing and Ripa clearly has a following. Paired, they could give ABC its best sitcom shot.
CBS: Expand sitcom reach
Though CBS has had great success with its Monday sitcom lineup, it hasn't had much comedy luck anywhere else. This year, the network is trying to expand into Wednesday by moving The King of Queens there and pairing it with The Stones, a show from the producers of Will & Grace.
For the move to work, however, CBS also needed to find a potential hit for its Monday vacancy — and it may have found a winner in Two and a Half Men. This Odd Couple-like comedy stars Charlie Sheen as a playboy jingle writer forced to share his home with his about-to-be-divorced nebbish brother, Alan (Jon Cryer), and Alan's 10-year-old son. Sheen seems perfectly cast, the kid is cute, and Cryer (The Trouble With Normal, Getting Personal) may finally have landed in the hit that has eluded him.
Fox: Be king of comedy
Fox will have 12 sitcoms on the air this fall, more than any other network. And it seems to be using its sitcom growth to reach out to the Latino audience through such shows as Luis and The Ortegas — though if those shows are no better than their rather disastrous clips, their reach may exceed their grasp.
Fox does have one of the season's early potential standouts in A Minute With Stan Hooper, starring Norm Macdonald as a TV commentator who moves his show from New York to Wisconsin to get closer to the "real people," who turn out to be just as complicated and nutty as everyone else. The clips made me laugh, but then, I like Macdonald. Not everyone does.
NBC: Replace 'Friends'
Well, yeah, that has been NBC's goal for years. But this time, the network swears it has turned the trick, so to speak, with Coupling, an American version of the British hit about six sex-happy companions. No show this fall will get more chances to succeed.
WB: Defend Friday
When ABC dismantled TGIF, WB stepped in with its own lineup and was successful by its own, smaller-audience standards. The key to holding onto that success could be All About the Andersons, an autobiographical sitcom starring Anthony Anderson (Barbershop) as a struggling actor who moves in with his parents, played by Roz Ryan and John Amos. Good Times should have taught Amos something about playing a father to a comic on TV.
UPN: Conquer Tuesday
The only thing that worked for UPN last season was its Monday block of African-American-led comedies, so the network is trying a variation. The Tuesday lineup will be a bit more multicultural. (The night, after all, ends with a show called The Mullets.) But the show that will get the most early attention is All of Us, which is based on the lives of producers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Unfortunately for UPN, the two aren't starring, which would have meant a sizable ratings boost.

Double blow for Wales
Craig Bellamy and Danny Gabbidon have both pulled out of Wales' squad for Wednesday game against Norway.
Last Updated: 03/02/08 10:31pm
Wales have been handed a blow ahead of their friendly with Norway on Wednesday with the news Craig Bellamy and Danny Gabbidon have both pulled out.
The West Ham duo have informed John Toshack they will not be available due to a lack of match fitness, joining Gareth Bale and James Collins on the sidelines.
Bellamy made his comeback from a three month lay-off with an abdominal injury against Wigan on Saturday, playing 22 minutes, but his club boss Alan Curbishley wants him to continue his rehabilitation at Upton Park.
Defender Gabbidon has not played since mid-December due to a groin strain, and has only managed one reserve game.
Despite being desperately short of cover in his squad, with Real Sociedad midfielder David Vaughan having also pulled out with a thigh injury, Toshack has decided not to raid his Under 21 ranks for replacements.

{Early Birds: A Sneak Peek} Family Photography in Wyoming
This morning, I got to start my day with these three and as with all my lovely clients, had such a great time!! Honestly, a few years back, I considered not shooting families anymore for a variety of reasons. And now, they happen to be my absolute favorite sessions. I enjoy capturing moments between families, finding something unique in every single one, and the challenge that comes with creating art with multiple people involved. Did I mention I love families??
Case in point, I had such a fun morning with this cute clan!! This family came with no agenda, was laid back and just rolled with the punches as I tried to acquaint myself with their very shy little man, exploring and focusing mostly on said shy-little-man's big blue eyes. Holy Moly. He is beyond darling. But seriously, they are all quite easy on the eyes, huh?
So without further babbling, grab your beverage of choice and enjoy!the little man's favorite part of the day was definitely the discovery of this magical piece of machinery: =)and lucky for me, the light was glorious…
and a different bw feel for me…and I kind of love it. Very filmesque I suppose. =) What do you think?and one last favorite from their session:A big THANK YOU to this sweet lady, her adorable little man, and her very laid back, easy-going husband. I enjoyed meeting all of you!
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Texas A&M has scheduled a board of regents meeting for Monday to discuss a possible move from the Big 12.
Amid speculation A&M will join the SEC, the meeting will be held by conference call at 4 p.m. ET.
Among the agenda items to be addressed is "Authorization for the President to Take All Actions Relating to Texas A&M University's Athletic Conference Alignment."
The regents were previously scheduled to gather on Aug. 22, but the change comes after the Texas state legislature set a meeting for Tuesday to discuss "matters pertaining to higher education, including collegiate athletics."
By moving the meeting ahead of the Texas state legislature, Texas A&M could announce its intentions to leave the Big 12 before having to appear in Austin.
When asked about a possible move to the SEC, Texas A&M spokesman Jason Cook told Orangebloods.com Thursday, "There's no agreement in principle, nothing."

Think you don't need a social media policy? Think again…
by Shelli Dallacqua
Meet Lindsey Stone. She is an employee at Living Independently Forever, Inc. (LIFE), and while on a work-paid trip to Arlington National Cemetery in October 2012, Ms. Stone had a co-worker, Jamie Schuh, take this picture of her disrespecting the Tomb of the Unknowns and posted it to her personal Facebook page.
This picture has gone viral and the ramifications are staggering. There is now a petition calling for her resignation that is being passed around the world on change.org as well as a Facebook page titled, Fire Lindsey Stone that has close to 7,000 followers and is growing daily. The Huffington Post just released an article about the photo as well. The backlash for her employer has forced them to post this disclaimer on their own Facebook page:
On Nov. 19 at approximately 6 p.m., we became aware that one of our employees had posted an offensive, inappropriate photograph on her personal Facebook page. The photo was taken at a national historic site in October by a fellow employee during a trip to Washington, D.C., attended by 40 residents and eight staff. The photo has since been removed from Facebook, and both employees have been placed on unpaid leave pending the results of an internal investigation.
This photograph in no way reflects the opinions or values of the LIFE organization, which holds our nation's veterans in the highest regard. We are proud to have veterans serving on our staff and board of trustees, and we value their service. The men and women who have selflessly fought and sacrificed their lives to protect the rights and lives of Americans deserve our utmost respect and gratitude. We are acutely aware that this photo has done a disservice to veterans and we are deeply saddened that it was taken and shared in a public medium.
Ms. Stone's actions reiterate the importance of social media policies in the workplace. In this day and age of digital media, the liability of the actions of just one employee can reach well beyond their cubicle.
There are three basic aspects to protect your organization from the Lindsey Stones of the world:
- Have a social media policy in place
- Make sure your employees read and SIGN the policy and keep it current and on file.
- Enforce implementation of the policy to the full degree.
Social media policies are a fairly new concept for employers today and they can vary depending on your industry, but here are a few basic must-haves to get you started:
- Focus on the positive by explaining what IS allowed rather than what is not allowed. Not only does this lessen the feeling of restriction but it may encourage employee interaction, which helps an organizations social culture.
- Make it clear that your employees are being held fully responsible for anything they write/post and that they need to exercise good judgment and common sense.
- Review the meaning of plagiarism and layout the consequences of anyone found guilty of this offence.
- The same goes for confidential information and proprietary information. This is a major violation. If they give away the ingredients to your secret sauce, it won't be a secret anymore.
- No negative postings regarding your organization. I have several clients that have had employees post false, negative reviews on Facebook and Yelp as a form of revenge after they were fired. A signed social media policy can be very useful in getting these removed by the host site.
- Be clear in the boundaries of time that is allowed while at work for social media activities. It is not enough to block Facebook and Twitter from work computers when most employers have a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy.
After you have drafted an intensive and appropriate social media policy, it is imperative to make sure every employee reads and signs it. It is not enough to include it in the employee handbook and hope they see it. We work in a digital world. This document can be as important as their W-9. It is also important to hold classes on the importance of social media within the workplace and the rights and responsibilities of the employer and the employee in regard to content.
Finally, it is important to enforce the policy to the full degree. This will entail assigning someone the job of monitoring your social media sites and those of your employees. There are tools you can use to assist with this such as setting Google Alerts, but nothing beats having a set of eyes watching the screen. Whoever handles your social media is generally the person that handles this responsibility.
If you have any questions regarding how to write a social media policy, I would suggest you consider taking the ASPE-ROI Social Media Boot Camp. In it you will learn how to create your own social media policy as well as get examples of the policies used by big brands.

This was my first time trying botox and i was very nervous. The staff was wonderful and checked in with me frequently and really made me feel comfortable. Dr. Rubinstein did a thorough consultation and explained the procedure in detail. I also felt that the pricing for Botox was reasonable/average. I would definitely recommend Dr. Rubenstein (and his wonderful staff) to anyone!! READ MORE

Colour Sergeant Kevin Fortuna, from A Company, 1st Battalion The Rifles, will be flown to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire.
A private service will be held at the base's chapel before the cortege passes through nearby Wootton Bassett. As has become tradition, local people and Royal British Legion members are expected to join his family and friends to line the high street in tribute.
The 36 year old died on Monday on patrol in the Saidabad Kalay area of the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand. He had been leading a patrol in the early evening to disrupt enemy forces when he was killed by an improvised explosive device.
His family yesterday paid tribute to a "true professional".
The Ministry of Defence described him as a "phenomenal, irreplaceable" individual who leaves behind his wife Nia, mother Sue and brother Kris.
Colour Serjeant Fortuna was born in Portsmouth and attended Bournside comprehensive school in Cheltenham.
His family said: "Kevin was a true professional who loved his job and lived life to the full. He gave 19 loyal years to the Army and will be sadly missed by his wife, mother, family and friends."
Colour Serjeant Fortuna was deployed to Afghanistan last month in command of a multiple of 12 Riflemen, the MoD said.
He joined the Army aged 16, where his potential was recognised at an early stage, joining the Gloucestershire Regiment in 1991 as a junior leader.
Colour Serjeant Fortuna served in Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Lieutenant Colonel James de Labilliere, commanding officer, 1st Battalion, The Rifles said: "Colour Sergeant Fortuna was an utterly professional commander, Rifleman and a man of irreproachable integrity. His presence strengthened the battalion and the loss with his passing will be acute.
"He was remarkable for many reasons, not least his complete and unwavering commitment to his Riflemen and their care. He was a master tactician, and a soldier of great experience. He was to be a Company Sergeant Major in just three months time."
Colour Sergeant Fortuna's death takes to 366 the number of UK military personnel killed in Afghanistan since the 2001 invasion.

For the most part, life in Eretz Yisrael during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was very challenging. Besides the extreme poverty and persecution that was the lot of the Jewish community, two events in particular shook Eretz Yisrael to its core. The first was the appearance of the false Messiah, Shabbtai Tzvi in the year 1665. The euphoria that initially marked his emergence was soon followed by feelings of remorse and embarrassment in the wake of Shabbtai Tzvis conversion to Islam together with hundreds of his followers. The beginning of the eighteenth century witnessed the mass migration of some 1,500 men women and children to Eretz Yisrael led by Rav Yehudah Chasid and R. Avraham Malach, an avowed Sabbatian. This too ended in failure with the death of Rav Yehudah Chasid, soon upon his arrival, with the last of his poverty stricken followers chased out of Jerusalem some twenty years later, leaving all of their property and synagogue in ruins. The end of the eighteenth century saw another attempt at resettling the land. This migration was led by Rav Mendel of Vitebsk and Rav Avraham of Kalisk, disciples of the famed Magid of Mezrich, the successor of the Baal Shem Tov. This migration, too, met with severe difficulties. These stories are the subject of this lecture.

Description: Art as we know it is dramatically changing, but popular and critical responses lag behind. In this trenchant illustrated essay, David Joselit describes how art and architecture are being transformed in the age of Google. Under the dual pressures of digital technology, which allows images to be reformatted and disseminated effortlessly, and the exponential acceleration of cultural exchange enabled by globalization, artists and architects are emphasizing networks as never before. Some of the most interesting contemporary work in both fields is now based on visualizing patterns of dissemination after objects and structures are produced, and after they enter into, and even establish, diverse networks. Behaving like human search engines, artists and architects sort, capture, and reformat existing content. Works of art crystallize out of populations of images, and buildings emerge out of the dynamics of the circulation patterns they will house.Examining the work of architectural firms such as OMA, Reiser + Umemoto, and Foreign Office, as well as the art of Matthew Barney, Ai Weiwei, Sherrie Levine, and many others,After Artprovides a compelling and original theory of art and architecture in the age of global networks.

mic is working out the final bugs but give it a test run if you please!
By: Andrew Gavin Marshall
Part 2: The Purpose of Education: Social Uplift or Social Control?
Part 3: Of Prophets, Power, and the Purpose of Intellectuals
Part 4: Student Strikes, Debt Domination, and Class War in Canada
Today, we are witnessing an emerging massive global revolt, led primarily be the educated and unemployed youth of the world, against the institutionalized and established powers which seek to deprive them of a future worth living. In Chile over the past year, a massive student movement and strike has become a powerful force in the country against the increasingly privatized educational system (serving as a model for the rest of the world) with the support of the vast majority of the population; in Quebec, Canada, a student strike has brought hundreds of thousands of youth into the streets to protest against the doubling of tuition fees; students and others are on strike in Spain against austerity measures; protests led by or with heavy participation of the youth in the U.K., Greece, Portugal, France, and in the United States (such as with the Occupy Movement) are developing and growing, struggling against austerity measures, overt corruption by the capitalist class, and government collusion with bankers and corporations. Students and youth led the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt last year which led to the overthrow of the dictators which had ruled those nations for decades.
All around the world, increasingly, the youth are taking to the streets, protesting, agitating, and striking against the abuses of power, the failures of government, the excesses of greed, plundering and poverty. The educated youth in particular are playing an active role, a role which will be increasing dramatically over the coming year and years. The educated youth are graduating into a jobless market with immense debt and few opportunities. Now, just as several decades ago, the youth are turning back to activism. What happened in the intervening period to derail the activism that had been so widespread in the 1960s? How did our educational system get to its present state? What do these implications have for the present and future?

SolarCity Corp. has raised $305 million in its second cash equity transaction. A private investment fund affiliated with Quantum Strategic Partners Ltd. and advised by Soros Fund Management LLC provided the investment in a portfolio of residential, commercial and industrial solar projects.
The transaction also included a fully amortizing, 18-year loan that was syndicated to five institutional investors.
The portfolio of projects in the transaction collectively represents 230 MW of solar generation capacity spread across 15 states. The vast majority of the installations were completed in 2015 and 2016.
By placing the equity investor and lender group separately, SolarCity says it was able to achieve a pre-tax, weighted average cost of capital of 7.4% – a significant improvement over its first cash equity transaction.
The loan was rated investment-grade by a credit rating agency, and the financing is non-recourse to SolarCity. Bank of America Merrill Lynch acted as the sole syndication and structuring agent for the transaction.
SolarCity says it held $5.2 billion in solar energy system assets on its balance sheet at the end of its most recently reported quarter on June 30. Those assets are contracted to create $3.1 billion in future payments on a net present value basis, and SolarCity expects to continue executing additional transactions in the future in order to monetize its contracted cashflows.
