Interestingly I think it is a banjo... ( :face-kiss: ) Though as Kel says, they are rarely perfect like that one...

Strangely, I had just read that very article, as I was researching octocopters and other forms of remote recording... utilising stable photographic platforms and photomodeller scanner to create 3D images of the topography with point clouds and photo texture mapping. How weird is that.
The article is technical, but cuts right into the heart of what is possible in utilising remote vehicle recon. I was most impressed about the mini barges in shallows.
Anyway... I am willing to put my foot where my mouth is... and say... Banjo!
